Guy,
That's a pretty impressive list.
I'll swap you two Joe Alexander's for your Doug Bader one.

(that still leaves me a half dozen uncalculated "Alexander's")

I'm not so sure it works, but if I think about the list of people who's hand
I've shaken, I come up with an interesting list, including Princess Diana,
(twice), Prince Charles, (twice), Sir Douglas Bader, (WWII Ace), Lord
(Norman) Montague, Mr.
Noble, (World Land Speed Record breaker, who's first name I forget),
Stirling Moss, (a couple of times), Nick Mason, (Pink Fylod (sp?) Drummer)
and John Cooper (the Mini Guy), Harry Webster (Triumph fellow), The Earl of
March (founder of the Goodwood Revival Meeting), Oh yeah and Nelson Mandela
- at Jo'burg Airport in South Africa.
At the Goodwood Revival Meeting, or the Festival of Speed? (I forget which),
I held Fangios Steering Wheel, if that had any affect, I'm not sure.
I guess that adds up to a bunch of speedy drivers/pilots, famous individuals
and freedom loving folk.
I wonder if it counts that George Bush (the original one) waved at me one
time from his limo when I was driving a Triumph (Herald 1200 Saloon) on the
M4 motorway near London's Heathrow airport years ago - I think that was a
wave? It could have been something else?
I was the only other car on that stretch of road, as it was about 6am and I
was on the way to the propshaft repair shop near to the airport.
Best Regards
International Man of Mystery
