I'm sure Phil will oblige if you ask him nicely

and with a nice off the shoulder number

For those of you that have met me you will understand that I would look ridiculous with an off the shoulder number and stilettos on.

Won't argue with this apart from the horrible wheel trims.

There’s an Armco barrier there now to stop you, I know, I’ve hit it!

Looks like an Iso Rivolta in the background in the left hand pic.

And it wouldn't be very 'palletable' either.

That was a Gordon Murray design. Absolutely undriveable, scary, piece of poo according to the drivers. Although Watson might have said it in slightly more colourful language!

The interview I heard with John Watson was basically “thank **** they banned it”, he was Lauda’s team mate.

A busy afternoon in the workshop on the 66 R16.
Straightened up the damaged sills from people jacking in the wrong places.
Rear wheel cylinders were seized and leaking.
Master cylinder leaking at the pedal but was saved after a strip down.
A full fluid change.
Headlights out and fitted later halogen ones.
Removed the front fog lights and won those from the customer.
Love working on the old stuff so satisfying.
