BB , Picture? I 'd reduce the size if I knew how, so I'll delete it, I can do that!!
It's weird isn't it? I have worked with the producer of the Motorsport DVDs for 9 years, met him covering F1, and last week I found out he has a Strat and a 1962 Tele!!
Zoon fx boxes are brilliant, I got my son a Zoom GFX707, has a built in tuner, drum machine, can record yourself doing loops and play along, and 100s of effects. If only I were up to using them all!

I look smaller!!! Thank you, I'll adjust asap.
I may be waiting for the GP, just that now we're at the mother in laws in the UK, I may have to "watch it" on the timing pages from the official website, and imagine!!!
Off to the Knoffler site!!
Watching a genuine Esquire black scratchplate on Ebay, £4.99 at present, could be problem solved.

Alonso drove well??? I was "watching" the timing pages on line, the mother in law is really watching Gregory Peck dressed as a sailor! In summary, didn't see the race![Angry [:@]](/cs/images/emotions/angry.gif)
I always liked Knoffler, he says he can still remember what a Fender catologue smells like!

Personally not a huge lover of current F I, Steve: far too processional.
However, Alonso has that spark of genius, to me, so like McClaren, Fittipaldi, Rindt, Petterson, Lauda, etc.
Knopfler: what can I say? The Governor. The only man who the late Chet Atkins asked to cut an album with!
Of course, unlike Clapton who uses a pick, Knopfler fingerpicks and can also create all the sliding harmonics, just like Atkins.
Grovel, grovel.........

You are so right, one of the reasons I don't miss working in it. Dull and boring to watch. Cevert, Depaillier, Stewart, etc, I like motor RACING! Fortunately we have a superb kart track in Bergerac, and a better when near Agen!!
And again your so right, I once sat opposite Wilko Johnson, who I had always been told was, "an average guitarist". He played three guitar parts all at once. So well I was looking around the room to see where the others were. Didn't pick up a guitar for months!

I was fortunate enought to see the real master Clark at work "In the office" and of course, as you say since he was a real racing driver, he drove everything from saloons to FI. Watched him pedal the Lotus 30 Group 7 "Big Banger" sports- racer round Brand's Grand prix circuit on its maiden outing, for example.
A typical "Chunky" effort, every time Clark approached Clearways and braked, a front locked and it span: travelling backwards in the region of 130 mph, Jim just merely said "Och!", flicked the car through 180 degrees and continued on his merry way. Lap after lap.
Fantastic days.
And yes, it is a real pleasure to see and hear a master guitarist at work. But, as you again say, makes you want to give up for ever..............![Blink [blink]](/cs/images/emotions/blink.gif) In 1977, during the Queen's Silver Jubileee, I watched a fantastic programme about the Spanish pilgrims en route to Santiago de Compostela which was narrated by Paco Pena; who of course kept playing flamenco guitar around the campfire each evening: and that made me want to give up, too. At least I can counter-clap!
