Still I solved it for the rest of you.

PS; Viv I don't mind people questioning my knowledge, as long as they don't do it too often. OK?
Thanks for the (almost) friendly warning Baub! I do think that this is my first offence anyway and doubt if you'll give me many more opportunities anyway, but I promise to watch my step.

Sorry Viv, I was still seething by being put right by that bloke from the colonies, in matter concerning Mike Hawthorn, you know I really hate a smart rrrs. At least he did it in private, so not as bad as your gaff.

Super avatar, Viva, sympa, vous êtes en avance pour la nouvelle année.

Bob, dont you see a relationship between the four drivers named, F1 and Le Mans ? Of course mainly my questions are related to Le Mans, just to keep an international interests. Mostly but not all of them. Ta! An the "Hill" in question was Graham and Phill.

Thanks again Gerard. I scanned that the slide of that picture at the weekend and thought I should show people what a Viva GT looks (or looked) like!

I thoroughly enjoyed racing a Magnum supposed to be a Grp1 but absolutely not compliant! Ex Jean Louis Lafosse, sponsored by Arvor.

Another one just for the pleasure to ask you the question because I guess you all know the answer. So, please, smile mode on!

Hey you pussies, I was not born in Texas ya no but in another fookin state. But I can tell you that I ate a fookin cow boy each morning for the fookin breakfast. In fact "brake - fast". I hold a fookin record you'll never beat you pussies, consisting on jumping from my car! Who am I, morons?
First arrived first fookin served!
No the fookin answer is not Jumping Jack Flash!

When you'll discover my last fookin job, you'll se what a pure jewel is…

So Wat? My own ancestry goes back as far as the Battle of Hastings in 1066, in fact one of my ancestors was the last person King Arthur spoke to before he died!
He said. "Mind what you are doing with that bow and arrow, you'll have someone's eye out in a minute"

By the way is it Arthur or Arther or more likely Harold? Never mind, French brilliantly won this battle. Another one to our credit. Ta!

Yes you can find a link between the said cars and a Boeing 707.
The brand specialized in take offs at LM is German…

So the short list is: Impala/ Chenille Malibu/TVR and Boeing 707. Na!
