in 19665 I went to the Wigram airbase in Christchurch to see my friends father race his Ferrari, but then I saw the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, a lotus driven by Jim Clark, it was gorgeous in board front suspension, monocoque chassis Light, nimble and sensual. Because in those days cars and drivers were real and accessible, in fact the lotus was in the paddock on grass. I met Jim and he invited me to sit in the car THEN I was in love, and there was no return from that
This morning I opened my email "ultimate cars" featured this exact same car. As it was raced by Jim in the Tasman series in Aust and NZ.
So as today is my BD and for a reward my Old lady had promised some thing appropriate after the kids have gone to school I refrained from expressing my happiness immediately.
