    @ Aviator: You have a remarkable resemblance with Mr. K.K. of 4Wheels Mag... Could that be you?

    Perhaps my avatar is misleading :-) We have, in fact, met several times and I can say there is no resemblance between us :-)

    Re: Historical Photos

    That one is nice! Reminds me of DA BOMB:  http://www.rennteam.com/forum/thread/20101168/Re_Rear_spoiler_lift_mechanisms/index.html#p20101168

    What is that wire at the rear wing for, lightning protection?


    Re: Historical Photos

    The first Company to line up two fully liveried Formula 1 cars at the grid of a Grand Prix was the Gunston Cigarette Company of Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. Gunston introduced tobacco sponsorship to motor racing when they sponsored Rhodesian drivers John Love and Sam Tingle in the 1968 South African Championship for F1 and F5000 machinery.

    John Love in 1969:

    I remember seeing this car (and others like it) as if it was yesterday!


    Re: Historical Photos

    John Love and richard Atwood also entered a Porsche 917K in the nine Hours of Kayalami in 1971


    Re: Historical Photos

    Love also entered a dancing donkey in 1968 (came in 3rd)


    Re: Historical Photos

    here's the 917 again: (in real life)

    ...and here is the man himself:

    KK of 4 Tροχοι must be in his 60s now, much older than Aviator!

    Re: Historical Photos

    Actually KK is almost 70 now. But the historical pics, the name and the nickname and the location hinted towards him.

    [...] historical pics, the name and the nickname and the location hinted towards him.

     

     

    Of course... You are right! Given everything else you mentioned, I can see how you would think "Aviator" might be Kostas Kavathas.

    A pitty this site has not been translated into English, for the benefit of rennteamers who are not from Greece: http://www.kavvathas.gr/

    I will briefly say that he is one of the most respected journalists in Greece, founder of Technical Press publications, which includes "4wheels" magazine.

    Re: Historical Photos

    Costas, what a G-R-E-A-T thread... Pixz and comments must have been well sought-after across R2. I have a lot of favorites, don't know which of all to pick for my personal best, think I'll have to set up a challenging top-10   

    Unfortunately I missed the growth of your thread as I've not been able to follow it up to this point. Probably I'm wrong, yet I think R2 lacks the functionality of notifying each time a new thread/post is submitted. May be Eunice could give some reasonable answers or at least some guidance on how best handle this.

    Kudos, I'll keep an eye on it anyhow!

    P/S Soon I'll try to post a pixz of Ayrton Senna interviewed by myself back in June 1992. Pixz and text was appeared in that year's July or possibly August issue of 4Wheels magazine.

    Mark the thread as favorite by clicking on the heart symbol on top of the page:

    There is no function to get notified on new threads, but now that you have posted in this thread you'll get notified on new messages in this thread.

    This thread is really awesome, I have it on my favorites list too and I often come back just to look at the pictures.

     


    Re: Historical Photos

    Thank you guys, I am happy to hear that you are enjoying these photos. I have quite a few more to post, in fact :-)

    George, I missed that interview and I am looking forward to seeing your photos!
