p.s. about the "dumb luck" aspect of your post - I agree 100%. I'm not
talking about that paticular episode, but rather the whole process... of

pounds of metal and then go and try to make it go fast. Hmmmm. There's a
theme there somewhere!
Fully agree, Bob. I've spent most of today examining a number of Williams
Formula One
racing cars going on display at Gaydon. I've come to the conclusion that a 3
litre V10
engine developing the better part of 800 horsepower at 18000rpm in a car
weighing about
500 kilos fully laden AND strapped to your backside to do all this, has to be
the best
laxative known to man.
