Might need to ask SWA for approval first!

Going to go out on a limb and post something that most people cannot identify...



Someone that a few might know of...

Those are both easy. Jim Clark, the F1 driver from Scotland, sitting on a Lotus, and a business card from perhaps one of the greatest aircraft minds of all times.

Easy for someone of advancing age! Not many people even know who Jimmy Clark is these days.

Was sitting in the hotel bar in Lagos Nigeria a year ago and chatting with a guy from Scotland. Clark's name came up and the guy brightened up. Seems that his Father and Clark were school-mates.

He was one of the best there ever was... like Kelly Johnson!

When you are a factory driver for Lotus, the least the company can do is give you something fun to drive on the street!

She was more like a 914 with junk in both trunks, fore and aft.
