Mike Hailwood 1978 Tt Win 40th Anniversary At Sammy Miller Museum

Might see if I can get to that if the weekend work is finished by then.

 

In the diary - only 15 mins from home

 

Definitely going to this one tomorrow, 10 June.

 

Just setting off now ...

 

Folks..........Have a great day out

 

I passed by when we went camping last weekend and didn't get a chance to visit. Back next month for a Ferrari day, so will definitely come by this time!

 

It was a good event. Pete I would have said hello but as I didn't know what you looked like it seemed a bit odd to randomly ask people is they were called Pete! Strangely did meet a friend who had come down on his Jota. Was well impressed to be allowed to park in the courtyard

 

Sorry. Tall, glasses, ponytail, Dainese leathers, gold teeth, intelligent-looking - would that help?

 

Sammy Miller and Pat Slinn talking about Hailwood in 1978, etc.

Sammy started up several bikes today, to give us an aural treat.

It would if we were still there - next time I'll look out for you!
