Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Best definition of a crash

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

Hi, yes i did but no luck with that. It was a quote we discussed on the list a few years back and I am sure I saw it first in C&D which is why we were discussing it. It was similar to the one that was sent, something about talent and luck running out at the same time that momentum and speed took over. I just can't remember the full quote and I need it for something I am writing.

 

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Did you try Googling what you could remember of it?  With poetry, it's amazing what I can find sometimes, by just entering a few quoted words.

Yes, it was very close to that but a little longer. I know it sounds nuts but if anyone can remember what I am referring to I would very much appreciate it.

 

Kind regards

The one I heard was: "He ran out of skill, options, and adhesion all at the same time."

Guys

 

This may sound a bit crazy but a few years back somebody posted a humorous defintion of a crash that said something about "the point where talent and traction fail to intersect" or something along those lines. Think it was in Car and Driver as well.

 

I need a copy of this quote for something I am writing up but I have lost the original. Does it ring a bell with anyone? If you have it please can you drop me an email.

 

many thanks
