First Happy New Year to you all!
Second ;-) - Patton - I thought that after DHMC had used it the rear axle went
**back** into a Ferrari and that one was the one that De Portago was killed in
on the 57 Mille Miglia, the famous incident in which seven children (I think
and
five adults) were killed and which brought the race to an end. Did Sievewright
actually get the axle out, too?
