Ok then, here goes:
I think there was a lot more elsewhere, but here are a few bits from Autosport (October 1970)...
Morgan's mum comments
As David Morgan's mother, I feel quite incensed at the implication of Justin Haler's report on the F3 incident at Crystal Palace.
It has been established that Morgan ad passed Beuttler before entering South Tower, and after presing round the outside had emerged completely ahead of Hunt. The shunt took place slightly nearer the outside than the inside of the track, and there was room to pass on either side. There was nothing untoward about Morgan's line and we can only assume that Hunt misjudged his speed and so hit him in the rear. The March took to the air.
While welcoming a tribunal to adjudicate the facts of the accident, I am amazed that Morgan alon should have been selected to face an inquisition about his driving. This season, until the accident, he has remained virtually incident free. His so-called bumping and boring tactics have not pushed any driver off. His March has fantastic brakes, and with skill he has used this advantage to be able confidently to seize every opportunity to outbrake, even when others might think twice about it. At what stage does pressing on, harrying and holding off turn from a virtue into a vice? With a below power-engine, the fact that he has continued so competively in the face of such formidable opposition is very much to his credit?

Mum's the word
As Mike Beuttler's mother, I feel quite incensed at some of the reports and comments on the F3 race at Crystal Palace recently. The reports stated that my son was "given" second place in the final due to the Hunt/Morgan incident. As everyone but Morgan's mum and Motoring News' reporter knows, this is simply not true.
On lap 18 at South Tower both Hunt and Mike Beuttler passed Morgan; on lap 19 my son slip-streamed passed Hunt and held second place to the end, leavinf Hunt and Morgan to continue their dangerous antics together.
I was quite horrified at the driving behaviour of some of the competitiors ai the F3 race, the boy Hunt being extremely beastly to my son who, as always, drove beautifully, although his father and I do rather wish he had chosen a more sedate occupation.
As for Mr. Morgan, mere words fail me. A piy they didn't fail his mum...

and then...
More on F3 mums
As Dave Walker's mum, Carlos Pace's great aunt and Gerry Birrel's third cousin thrice removed, I would like to complain about the disgusting and season-long antics of Tony Trimmer. This matter was really brought to a head at Grands the other weekend when Trimmer had the cheek to lead from start to finish.
Also, his consistency is a disgrace to all F3 drivers. He has failed consistently to create accidents, and has actually been seen, I'm ashamed to say, to grin before a race.
Therefore may I put forward a plea to either Brendan McInerney or some other sponsor/entrant. For the sake of the sport, make sure Trimmer never drives in another F3 race. Send him to the depths of F2, wher teams apparently lend cars to rivals, a la BMW. Surely such a disgrace would befit his disgusting performance this year.

and so it goes on, with letters exploring the mums, tantrums and diaper jokes in some depth.
about some very curious signatures to be found in old Correspondence / Letters from Readers / Letters to the Editor etc kind of stuff, I am starting this thread to see whether I might attract some of you to post some of those, that we would all find curious or funny or amazing or whatever (is the right word "anthological"?) because of either the signature either the contents or even both!
And i suppose your talking about the Blue oval driver that used to drive another type of TAXI.
