    Funny how things work out. I went to high school with Bobby, and my first ride in a Porsche was with him driving his dad Mike's red '66 911. Ironically, back then we drove down to the local Austin-MG dealer - but I've only just arrived at my first red MINI. :Thumbsup:

    The Chili Red MINI S was Graham's car. His best friend David, (I withhold his last name to protect the innocent) a shifter cart racer who also had an R53, and Graham we're known to make some very spirited runs throughout Delaware County after high school classes let out. Another reason I have always liked Graham Rahal (and of course, his Dad too).

    Interesting comments about Danica and Lewis Hamilton, considering how young they were when this was written.

    also interesting what he says about F1.....so do you all think turbo cars are the way to lower the budget and dumb the cars down?
