after watching this vid again i can now see how the wind blast from the prop gave him whiplash :eek

i hope he will be at the 2009 Barrett-Jackson in Scottdale. this will be my 4th year in a row since the last time i went was way back in 1983 when they were located on Scottsdale road and Lincoln drive. even though the collecter car market has taken a BIG hit like eveything else lately except of course my GUN collection :lol i bet you will still see some bitchin muscle cars at the B-J this year. people will be letting go of some nice ridez because they need the cash; so it should still be exciting to watch imo......

He is a very pleasant guy, limited American car knowledge, but an expert driver, ran CanAM and many other classes. Great knowledge of European marks, have walked the pits with him leading a group at Goodwood and learned a lot from him.

He is landed genrty, and his daughter is quite a celeb in her own right.

i have never been to England but watching him drive all those foreign cars on his show Victory by Design just makes me want to go there. in 2006 i watched him drive an original 60's cobra daytona coupe worth $5+ million like it was worth $5...... :lol

he is a very confident driver :cheers

If you only went to one vintage race in your life, I would recommend Goodwood.


deCadinet hurt himself when he and Keith Martin did the B-J color on Speed. He is much better when he and Hagerty add color to RM Auctions.

I've seen that clip before - he's a funny guy and a great sense of humour.

i want to go there and i want to go to the monterey historics.

i have been to the INDY 500 in 1994 when Al Unser Jr. won before the split. i went to both F1 races in Phoenix, Arizona back in 1990 and 1991 when Ayrton Senna won and Eddie Cheever won.

of course watching a F1 race in Monaco from a 100+ foot Yacht would just be EPIC :cool
