Yesterday at Carl's we were greeted by a stack of 50's magazines from out of the attic, seems Carol was cleaning up and asked Carl what he was going to do with them. Many were Autosport but there was a half a dozen Lotus and Sportscar from 1959 and I looked though them quite quickly and saw this profile there so I snapped a bad photo of it. I think its a good read, dated December 1959.

Hard to believe that less than nine short years later, it was all over.

I love the sound of a torque wrench in the morning. Sounds like... progress.

What i remember the most with JC is his ability to do a proper four wheel drift in the F1 cars of his time, so that his mechanics were impressed by the even wear of all of his four Dunlop Racing tires, a thing that could not be said of his fellow drivers.

When i check mine after a race there is uneven wear all over them and yes, i have my setup ok. :?
