Good age anyway, having read elsewhere that some strain resulted from involving in the race or those who like watching it, has correlation to make 1 year shorter of the age ;( :D

Yah, but can you imagine with as long as his life was, him witnessing over the ages all the mind-blowing technical advancements (if you can call them that nowadays, in the current state of the sport) ?

Hans wrote the book "The Racer" a very thinly disguised book about GP racing in the '30s. It was made into a movie under the original title but also released as "Such Men are Dangerous". It starred Kirk Douglas and Bella Darvi. Until "Grand Prix" it was probably the best racing movie.

She always brings from-scratch baked beans to family picnics, and they are good. She goes on and on buy wow power leveling (http://www.igegolds.com/world-of-warcraft-us-pl-c-73.html)about how much better they are because she started with dried beans. When I started working on this book, World of Warcraft power leveling (http://www.igegolds.com/world-of-warcraft-us-pl-c-73.html) I asked Landess to watch her make the beans and write out the recipe for me. He laughed and laughed. "She doesn't make those beans from scratch," he said, dashing the story I'd known to be true for more than 50 years.and WoW Gold (http://www.igegolds.com/world-of-warcraft-usa-c-51.html)
