Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Meeting the legend Capt Clyde

[francis newman (francis]

Hi Britt

Sounds like a great evening.

I sometimes get guilt pangs because I once upon a time wrote rather  
harsh things about Clyde - well this is the web isn't it, and we do  
these things on occasion -  but meeting up at the British GP sounds  
like an excellent idea and I am certainly up for it. The first round's  
on me!

Best

Francis
