I thought "That's very nice, but why?". I've only just stumbled on the thread about the new track as I filter for messages with GPL in the subject. Great news!

"No worries" Bruce - it was the original posting that really needed GPL in the subject. BTW, I have a load of old "Motorsport" mags from the 60's and there is at least one report on the Solitude GP I can remember. I don't have a scanner (yet) but I'll dig them out if they'll help.

I bought the magazines last year through an advert in the local paper - �10 for just under 30 years' worth! They are a few about 1960 and they are more or less complete from 63 or so. I spent _many_ hours reading them through in order and it came as a horrible shock when I opened the next one to find the report of Jim Clark's death, quite took me back all those years. I haven't bothered with many much after that apart from some reading of the reports of the Nigel Mansell GPs. I think my favourite item was someone breaking his throttle cable at Spa. He got out and unthreaded it then drove back to the pits with one arm back over the engine, pulling the cable to operate the throttle!

I was thinking that if you can select some nice shots to get scanned, Tony, I could include them with the others. No rush...whenever you can get them done, just drop me a note. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Tony Whitley <t o n y . w h i t l e y @ n S t P l A w M o r l d . c o m> wrote in message news:saW85.1404$[email hidden]... > "No worries" Bruce - it was the original posting that really needed GPL in > the subject.

Aah, the stuff of memories! I occasionally find myself doing the same thing....most recently with a pile of old (1960's - 1970's) Aussie magazines. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, oblivious to the passage of time! :-) I recall that "throttle cable" incident but cannot remember who the driver was either. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Tony Whitley <t o n y . w h i t l e y @ n S t P l A w M o r l d . c o m> wrote in message news:Ff095.1690$[email hidden]... > I bought the magazines last year through an advert in the local paper - �10 > for just under 30 years' worth!
