pistonbroke Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Nice to know my boyhood hero is still being remembered , I visited the "old" museum way back in the 70's , just one small room then ( same building I think ) with a few Photos and cabnets displaying his trophies . Still wonder what he would have achieved if not for the events at Hockenhiem 68 . The thoughts of JC driving a Lotus 72 , 79 or wonder how he would have handled the mighty 1000hp cars of the turbo era 1 Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 I went there in 1973 and it was a quiet, modest place. It is good to know that a figure north of a million has been spent to refurbish it, but I cannot help but wonder what Jim would have had to say. He was quiet and modest man, a farmer who raced cars, not a professional racing driver in the modern sense. Note to self: get up there and see it! Quote
