> Isn't Chris Amon still alive?

yep, he's still around here in New Zealand. i think he's a
farmer now. i think he also consults for Toyota NZ. "Buy this
new Toyota Corolla with Chris Amon tuned suspension!" etc etc.

FYI, somewhere near Bulls. He's a dairy farmer. :)

Incidentally, Toyota NZ at one time claimed he was a F1 World Champion. I
recall ringign them and being told "whoops, but he is a champion in our eyes".

Hi Peter and others,
Denny Hulme suffered a fatal heart attack during the 1992 Bathurst
1000 race.His car pulled over and stopped beside the track,everyone
thought his car had suffered a mechanical failure,but when marshalls
got to the car he was dead.His harness hadn't even been unbuckled.At
least he died doing something he loved.
Sir Jack Brabham is still racing.He won his class at a race at
the Nurburgring recently driving a turbocharged Volkswagen Beetle.I'm
not sure if it was a touring car race or some sort of GT race.He is
about 72 years of age!!
I would love to see him try GPL and hear his comments.

Oh dear. Who's going to tell him. There is no Santa Claus, tooth fairy
or Ronald Mc Donald. The guy in the ads is just a warning to all that
he's what you'll look like after a triple Big Mac and flies every day.

Yes it would work. Have you seen The Best Buy commercials where they
got some guy named Bill Gates (a different one of course) as their new
spokesman for computers.?

>>One has to wonder why they didn't license another "jacques Villeneuve"- not
>>even say his uncle- just some guy from canada with the same name ;)

>>Sure no helmet... but the idea is interesting....
