Mornington Crescent, anyone?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I raced everything really, competing in 125 cc, 250 cc and 500 cc categories with my largest bike being 900cc.

If it helps, I competed at Grand Prix level, both on motorcycles and in cars.

Are you Mike Hailwood?

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

:D

I was indeed Mike Hailwood. Rather sad after all those dangerous racing feats that I and my daughter died in a Rover SD1 while nipping out for a fish supper :( though I suppose I had been warned by a fortune teller years before :o

and now you good Sir...
