Can't resist buying the book, great pictures, many of friends and  
colleagues. Fantastic. The front cover shows Chris Dinnage and Colin  
Watts, mechanics I worked with for years. Jacques Lafitte and Keke  
Rosberg are amongst my best friends. Things were much more fun back  
then! Jacques and I had time to go trout fishing together. They are  
both still at the races, Jacques always (commentating for TF1), Keke  
often since his son Nico is now driving.

cheers,
Frank
