Gotta hand it to the guy on the video though. I wonder if the backs of his
trousers also remained white

Great stuff!


just one teensy request please.. When providing a link to a large file,
warn us poor non-broadband schmucks about it? Not that i really mind
downloading 6 minutes for something this entertaining, but some warning
would be nice.

Thanks, but I know AdC's efforts, ever since his attempts at Le Mans on

trailer) in the early to mid-Seventies....I thought the person did look
like him but I haven't seen him for about 15 years and if that is indeed
who I think it is, time has been kind to his rakish good looks (envy
mode) hehe.
....now "Marylin Monsoon" will be convinced I am one of those despicable

He hosted a "Grand Prix Night" on television (BBC2 ?) a few years back. He
told a story about the time he was racing privately-entered Brabhams. It
was at this time that Bernie Ecclestone bought Brabham. For some reason,
even though Bernie had bought Brabham, de Cadenet had all the available
spares. So he lent Bernie four wheels, when asked. Come nearly the end of
the season, he asked Bernie, "What about those wheels I lent you?" To which
Bernie replied, "Oh, they were porous - I had to scrap them. But I can sell
you some new ones!"
