29 May 2011



I left a nervous little boy out on the trail today - Watching the Monaco Grand Prix this afternoon reminded me of the time my parents took me to Brands Hatch in 1976 to watch the British Grand Prix. To start with my Dad nearly passed out when he found out it was a tenner for adults to get in, he had to check his wallet to make sure he had enough cash to get us in. James Hunt won the race in his McLaren only to be later disqualified after Ferrari complained that McLaren cheated. Nothing much changes! James Hunt went on to win the world championship that year, and as you can see he is still one of Lin's pinups (even if he does have tobacco breath).
