Thanks mate. Great days, eh?

Weren't they good times? There was more laughing and cheering and booing and all round fun in the air. And the drivers had to work bloody hard, too -- no fancy gear, just wring its neck and fight the thing round each bend! Best of all: no silencers. Heroes, all of 'em.

Wonderful --- a reminder of what is possible. Free of hype and conformity, just some voices in a pub and a deeply human story. Well done.

It never dies. It never dies.

I saw the rpm pass 10,000 on that 'old fashioned' heavy two-valve pushrod motor --- out of this world. I can remember when little overhead-cam motors in sports cars couldn't exceed 7,000rpm. Fantastic.
