I was very young then and was not interested in motor racing. I have books
about Jim and enjoy watching him in old films. I cannot see the Lotus emblem
without thinking of him. This afternoon, I watched a BBC special on him and
now while I'm winding down the work day at home, I have a BBC 5 Live
presentation (Aug 2013) on Ayrton Senna with people who worked with him.
They're discussing the movie which I have, too.

I'm thinking you knew Senna. Were you with Williams in '94? I only wish I
could have seen him race. I'm very happy that I saw Michael Schumacher on
track.

No Robert I never met Jim Clark, though he was and is my hero! He died a few
years before my first involvement.
