    what a shame, only 8 months after a lung transplant too I think. What a total hero he was after that horrific crash to make a comeback so fast.



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    Those of us old enough and into motor sport will remember him taking part in the 1976 Italian GP still covered in bandages from his crash 40 days earlier. That’s what you call true resilience and love of sport. Great scene in Rush when bitter rival James Hunt beats up a journalist that had been disrespectful to Lauda in a press conference. RIP, indeed!
