Hi

I was reading the race reports on 1967 grand prix and this ALMOST happened to 
clark. He finished the last lap with his wheel at a bizarre angle. can't 
remeber which race though :-(

the race reports are exciting reading.  I can't remember the address but I 
found it on the links page at:

home.c2i.net/thepaddock/

recommended reading for all gpl fans!!!

Brian
