Then I remembered a tale about Mike Hailwood being hit by a water buffalo and ending up in the back of hire car with the horns of the animal puncturing the roof of the car
That's what I remember, but not sure of the real facts as compared to a boyish memory.I was wondering if anyone can remember that incident?
Also .... along with Hunt, Ireland and other such extroverts, who were the drivers that sort of lived up the reputations we heard about as colourful and flamboyant characters?
I also admired Hailwood and Servoz-Gavin, along with Jonathan Williams. What? An English guy working for Ferrari and a helicopter pilot to boot? Amazing to a schoolboy from Liverpool!
