<< ONE OR TWO COPIES SOLD ~ MAIN ~ HE’S FROM SCOTLAND, AND HE’S HERE TO HELP >>

JACK V JUAN

I was there on this strange and magical day in 1978.

1. What were those, some kind of Volkswagens?

2. richard:

   I thought they were kit cars?

3. wow, that was beautiful.  especially seeing Fangio overtaking on the straightaway in that ancient roadster.  i love the auto-racing posts.

4. You heathens! That was beautiful.

   I do love vintage motor racing.

6. Great comment from YouTube member “ayrtonsenna1960”:

   
   Every F1 fan talks about who is the greatest; to me Senna is the best, but when people say Shumi, I tell them to shut up! When people say Fangio is, I shut up and let them talk!

   Agreed. ;^)

   (I edited the comment for capitalization and punctuation because it irritated me.)

7. Fangio.

   So, is that where the expression “Fanging it” came from?

8. Wow, what a wonderful throaty sound from those engines; much more pleasing than that buzz-saw whine of today’s F1 cars.

   of course, when I want to watch real racing I watch the opening sequence of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...

9. I loved that first lap, despite being retired and the race being more or less a social gathering for many years both drivers got all competitive.
