RLM just mentioned Amazing Randy's email wishing DFM and CA a good time at Lemans from Turn 10 and Team Impala. Hey Randy, Have a nice cruise in the Bahamas.

Sew on and sew forth.

Oulton Park Gold Cup, won by Sir Stirling Moss.  1961.  Gotcha!

Born in 1961, December,  but conceived at Sebring back in March (9mo's)

Gotcha right back.

  As my mother wouldn't be seen dead near a circuit - this wasn't going to happen to me!  Oh, I forgot, first drove down the N138 in 1961 too (well, was driven actually!)

I was there!! I live in Chester and cycled to the race. That was my first year on the circuits but I can't remember any races before that.

Small world, eh?  Lancashire lass myself.  It was the first big meeting I went to but I did go to Rufforth and Croft quite a bit too; also the hill climbs at Harewood and the odd GP but that wasn't until '65.  We can have a nostalgia trip at the circuit!

Well done Lee, but don't you just hate a smatrarse !!!!

Sounds good, I got to Croft for the first time in '65, also Ingleston as by then I was in the army at Carlisle. The first GP was in '64 when two of us hitched to Silverstone aged 16 !!

hope nobody minds if I stumble back on topic

Just returned from the Ring, left 1 hour before the finish just as the sky got dark grey again. Met hgb, Martijn and Sandy. Jesus, I hope the weather will be better next weekend

Cheers everybody, see you soon

Let me stumble back here: I did my first foreign visit to a car race in 1969, the annual MG Car Club racing event at Silverstone. Beat that!
