@rwilliams1947 @SkySportsF1 They’ve obviously not realised Grand Prix racing existed before F1 🙄.

Now we’ve just been told by the @SkySportsF1 commentator that Riccardo Patrese and Jarno Trulli were the only Italians to win the Monaco GP before Antonelli’s brilliant victory today. Err… Nuvolari? Varzi? Fagioli? Farina? Somehow they don’t count?

@matoxley Richard Williams other books are worth a read especially a race with love and death .

I read this book while researching my MM93 biography because I've always seen similarities between MM93 and Senna. Book is Senna's life as well as his death

Thanks for the tip @matoxley from your MM book. Reading it on hols. Also took your advice many years ago and bought ‘Parachute Infantry’ by David Kenyon-Webster. You should charge for your recommendations. 😜👍🏻

@UnracedF1 I think they made Austin 7 under licence then they eventually became BMW but not 100% sure about that 🤔.

I have a real problem with companies that do this - may be because I like OEM cars

@Mintysuarez @AutoPap People want the looks and style but not the maintenance issues. Modern tech, retro looks, modern performance. What's not to like.

I didn’t enjoy today. Despite having a lovely invite and hospitality it was nauseating.

@AutoPap There's lots of things I love about goodwood. But it's mostly an exercise to extract money out of car enthusiast peasants (myself included) and the nauseous rich. They get a lot right, but seem to miss the point increasingly often. The good things are very token in scale.

@AutoPap @dailycarblog According to my account I am following you 🤔

@AutoPap Ok thanks for the reply got that vibe from the pictures not keen on that either 🙄

@Mintysuarez Normal people were herded like sheep and shouted at by stewards to get behind barriers because the rich people were coming through.
I hate that you’re more important there because of your material wealth.

@rwilliams1947 your tribute to Denis law just got a mention on final score thought you’d like to know .

Bath Street bash, 1967.
We're outside the old Albert Ballroom/Joanna's disco, where this TR6 is nursing a broken nose.
Sadly, the Highlanders' Memorial church in the background - once painted by LS Lowry - is also long gone.
