Gonna check that out later.

Funny, when I saw the post yesterday about the Barry s. DVD I immediately thought about James Hunt and how he had the same kind of flair about him.

Thanks for that!  I'll watch it tonight when I get home.  I was really into F1 in the mid 70s and Hunt was my hero!  Team Hesketh!

Met him once when he came over to the states and ran a few F5000 races (1976?), at Ontario Motor Speedway.  Wearing his signature toe-less driving shoes. Spent about 15 minutes chatting on the pit wall while mechs worked on his car during practice.  Very cool, unassuming, funny guy.

Great film. I actually have a wee bit more compassion for Max Mosely after seeing he's human.

I also can't figure out which I want more, Berger's living room, Sheene's widows dining room, or Sheene's widow.  [laugh]

Enjoyed it. Film makes a really good point. Too bad the world was already ruled by puritanical fake bullshit by the time I was born into it.
