Brabham survives 100mph crash

I see that Mr R had a busy day on the keys following his flight home today. I was thinking whilst reading this that the author must have been standing pretty close to where I was <G> Anyway, I concur with everything in this excellent report and thank god that things have turned out well for the old man :-) the time it took to get Jack out of the car felt like an eternity. They were amongst the most terrifying 20 minutes of my life Mark

Thanks for sharing that letter with us Bruce.. It's always nice to know what really happened in any incident, without the media blowing it all out of proportions.. Thanks, Ron **snip**

G'day Mark. I'm delighted that you and Greg were able to meet up and I envy you both the opportunity of attending Goodwood. It remains one of my "must do before I die" ambitions! Cheers mate.

No problem, Ron. I'm glad to have been able to pass on the facts. BK.

It'll take more than that to take away our Jack! ;) He was probably just kicking back with a few beers with the marshals. :) Cheers, Rod.

Funny you should say that Bruce. I've always wanted to head on down under to Bathurst. Wanna swap house keys sometime ;-) Mark > G'day Mark. > I'm delighted that you and Greg were able to meet up and I envy you both the

LOL! Swapping the keys is no problem.......it's gathering the money for the rest of the venture that tends to take the gloss off! > Funny you should say that Bruce. > I've always wanted to head on down under to Bathurst. Wanna swap house keys
