    He actually won a rally with his wife as co-driver (The Cyprus Rally IIRC), making him the only man I know of who copes well with taking instructions from his wife....

    That's sad. Thanks for the notice. Do you know how he died? I didn't see that mentioned, seeing as he was only 61.

    the only man to win the 'unwinnable' Safari five times (74, 79, 80, 81, 8). a feat unlikely to be repeated. also drove in the 'World Cup Rally' of 1970 in a Lancia Fulvia (DNF mechanical). he is an inspiration to us rally fans...RIP Sir.
