Ferrari Mailing List: Re: That will buff out

[Douglas Anderson (dnt]

I have a jolly time getting in and out of both he 308 GTS and the Carrera S

One foot in – slide down the seat – pull the other (left) foot and get settled.

 

I do recall Gurney chatting it up with a bunch of newsies about a lemans start one party night at the AAR shop laughing – so I ran across the track, jumped into to the car (early MK 1 or 2 GT40) and got away first.  Then while going down Mulsanne at over 200 I noticed I had not buckled up – so I slowed down to 180, steered with my knees and snapped up.”  Or something like that.  Interesting conversation.  “. . . . slowed down to 180 . . . “  what a crowd – yes sir.

What game?   Like you, I value my laps around the sun.   Not going to waste ‘em on the woke.  

 

Working on a new Pi Hat design.

A race car without stories?  I know the “big game” is on later today, but it’s a bit early to be that blotto on the west coast.

That’s just one example… that another one of this gang was present for.  I’ve seen it, in person, several times.  Many here have.    Doug?

 

Hell, I’ve seen Sterling Moss pull a boner move and trash a $30M Aston Martin that belonged to someone else and a very expensive historic Porsche of his own.  Good, hell yeah, undisputed.  Dumb move, yep.  Lucky to survive…? At those speeds, at his age… yep.

I don’t see any judgment being passed.  But, I don’t use emotion or feelings as my yardstick for thought or conversation.  

 

It would be like me accusing your profession of being way too defensive or overly sensitive or fostering super Karenism.  “I” have no basis other than your statements to make that generalization, so I won’t.  

 

However, most of us have seen abject stupidity committed by Ferrari owners… over and over.  Been around long enough and you’ve probably witnessed it in person.  Keegan can back me up on that when a bozo in front of his old work over drove his 360 into a parked historic Drag Racer that was worth more than the 360.  Fortunately, I have not had to witness a death from these stupidities… yet. 

 

There isn’t much much of that in flying (at extreme levels) as it is ingrained in you from the beginning that it A) won’t be tolerated, B) will kill you with absolutely no inhibitions, emotion or remorse and C) could result in the death of those with you (my most considered factor).     

 

So, if it makes you “feel” better, by all means, defend these drivers.  In the long term betting odds favor lucky.

I don't.  That's why I didn't comment on his driving skills.  Maybe it is a pilot thing but you guys seem to like to pass judgment and joke about people dieing or nearly dieing.  Maybe it was how you guys convinced yourselves it wouldn't happen to you.  Maybe you guys were the lucky ones and it wasn't just skill.  The opportunity here is to look back with gratitude.  Just saying.

How do you know he wasn’t lucky?

Do we know he was bad?  Maybe an animal ran out in front of him.  Or maybe an oncoming driver crossed the yellow lines.  Maybe they were even drunk.  Maybe the guy had a medical emergency.
