Re: Well Done , Thank you for not roasting me.

Thank you for pointing out my mistakes with kindness instead of evil . The "Ken" thing I should have known , and I did see Jackie give Ken his Rolex . The Lovely Mrs. Stewart was "manning" the Heuer stopwatches . I will say in my defence that I called J.Siffert an F1 Champion not a "World Champion" and his rise as a Swiss racer in a country with no racing would be like that of the Jamacain Bob Sled team !


But I would really love to know where the Moldy Siffert is ? The one in the posted picture ,not the crispy one .

: You've got the spirit right. However, Siffert
: was nowhere near being a champion--I think
: he won only two races in F1, and Switzerland
: banned racing after the Lemans disaster of
: 1956, welll before Siffert's time.
: And it's Ken Tyrrell who ran Stewarts' team,
: but it wouldn't surprise me if he handed the
: watch to his lovely wife Helen who was a
: fixture in the pits.
: That said, I've booked a flight for switzerland
: and I'm wondering about bringing a shovel as
: checked luggage or just buying one there
: best
: Allen
