I certainly didn't say that Villeneuve was the best, even in his day. Finishing a race for points is often preferable to going hellbent for leather and blowing an engine or crashing (in fact I guess it's always better...). Villeneuve was my favourite because he's Canadian, he had a certain panache, he enjoyed himself and loved what he did. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
