Kept me suspended for the entire 35 minutes. I didn't bounce or jounce from my chair a single time. Thank you both, Alan and Barry T. Truly delightful presentations.
Very good, thanks!
I have always been fascinated by early racing. The idea (death wish) of throwing something like that big Renault around corners on a rustic country road is very exciting!
