After a period of hibernation I am once again adding new content to my website. This site is a little different from most others, as I have strived to present the drama of Grand Prix Racing rather than the details, as there are too many out there who can do a better job than I! Plus I am getting a little fuzzy in my old age.

Don't look at Schumacher's race wins as I have a hard time keeping up and be kind in your criticisms though I am always open to suggestions. If you would like to flame me for not including Mansell or whoever in my Hall of Fame don’t bother I’ve grown tone deaf!

The site was begun in May 22, 1997 and to this day I don’t make a dime off of it save for the odd article here and there. In fact it costs me an arm and a leg but as long as I have a roof over my head the site will remain for better or worse.

For those new to the forum or site this will give you a better idea of where “I’m coming from” and for those who know me take a look at my wedding pictures! http://www.ddavid.co...re/wedding1.htm

BTW Since I have not updated the site for a while and the fact I am using a new machine some of the links are broken. Please tell me if you come upon any broken links. One such link morphed into a porno site!

Dennis, I KNEW you were cheating!!! You look older than on your avatar...

I suppose you've heard of Dorian Gray?

Dennis,

I've had your site logged into my favorites long before I heard of AtlasF1. When I saw that the number of contributors here also had their own sites, I was very impressed.

Your site is one of the best around for F1 history and story telling. What you say is true, facts and stats can be found in Forix, history is found elsewhere.

Thanks for your efforts there and here. I've enjoyed your writings very much.

You might put a voluntary donation page up on your site. With a brief narrative about your passion and effort to keep the history alive and available. You never know, if everyone who visits your site once a year donated a dollar, you might be able to put a dent in some of your expenses.

I'd be happy to contribute!

Best Regards,

Richard

I suspected something like this...

Ahh, the advantages of cyber life: Real life's up in the attic!

[Dennis David]

Thanks,

But if I received any money I would just waste it on more car books!

[Prostfan]

I was surprised to see pictures from my home country there. Do you have any connections to Austria?

[Dennis David]

Let's see, I was married in Gmunden and I have a timeshare in Maria Alm. Beside that I think that Austria's the most beautiful country that I have ever been to.

What's that old joke . . .

"I used to have a life, now I have a computer and a modem . . ."

Bobbo

Seriously, I have just "discovered" your site and it's GREAT!

Now you've made me feel bad. I own thousands of books.

Now I feel worse!

I have a basic house, a half share in a $US2500 car, thousands of books, six computers (two PC, two lap top, two hand held - always keep the old model as a back up) and three modems...

[Dennis David]

Barry, I would be right behind you in books if I didn't have a different hobby for each day of the week. Does a DSL modem with my own domain name and network at home count? I did have time to get married, buy an Audi A6 and a new $USD750K home within the last year though. Explains why my site went into hibernation.

Did someone kidnapped your wife at the wedding party, David?

I'm asking you this because I was married in Vienna shortly a month before you, and this was part of the tradition. I had to search my wife in several bars around and then the best man had to pay the bill of her and her friends.

I agree with you, Austria is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and I'm glad to live here, though it's freaking cold for a brazilian...

[Dennis David]

No, they didn't that's wild. Yes but it's a real christmas scene there at least in the traditional European way.

[Maldwyn]

Dennis, just like to compliment you on an excellent site

[Don Capps]

I have always thought very highly of DD's site and I am honored that DD was one of the first to throw his support behind this forum. I think that the great strenth of DD's site is that it is all about the real love and enthusiasm for the sport that seems so often missing today. It tells stories and weaves tales, not another regurgitation of the same "borrowed" statistics that seems to be the mainstay of so many other sites on racing.

I am delighted that DD is now out of "hibernation" and adding to his already superb site.

Dear Dennis,

It's great to see you back! You may remember me, I was the Hungarian guy, who you mentioned in this thread. I'm new to this forum and language difficulties doesn't help me either!

I was delighted to know that you had visited my home country and I hope, you had had a great time here. I was also delighted to read the history of Hungary on your excellent website. Oh, and of course I would like to congratulete you and your wife on your wedding!

Regards,

Geza Sury

[Dennis David]

Thanks for the kind comments. I had a very nice time in your country by the way.

[Dennis David]

A general house cleaning, more people added to the Hall of Fame and some new car articles. Yes, it's been a productive last few weeks before my next contract starts in San Diego next week.
