Ireland often wote in R&T, recounting > tales of his and Moss's adventures. I'm pretty sure that they both did, as I seem to recall reading features by both. I do believe that Ireland was the more prolific of the two. Wouldn't mind having drinks with either of them, I don't think. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

That's a little frightening to think about; I fell about half as far onto a hard surface years ago (thread tie-in: the day before the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, so of course I was there walking around with my cracked ribs and swollen up wrist, kept having to go back to the beer tent to take the edge off the throbbing) and I don't think I'd like to try it from any greater height. Or the same, for that matter. Really, I try to avoid falling at all, because while it's fun while it lasts, the landing tends to hurt. Haven't managed to injure myself in any automotive related mishap; I'd like to keep that streak going... nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

I dont know but the hospitals mentioned in the article have, or at least had, good reputations. 'When I lived in Europe, the public health care was, in general, excellent. Some years ago in Mexico, the "Curz Verde" was not so good. A young man, tending his pigeons on a rooftop, fell to the street, and fearing "abduction" by the Cruz Verde, he dragged himself off the street and into his apartment building to avoid them. |
