Horrible disease. RIP.
Indeed, mine was 45. Left 12-y-o and 14-y-o boys behind.
And the sad thing is, Covid has probably meant more will die due to lack of treatment.
It's a real b****rd!

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

    For me this video shows just how well she know the ring just a few corners in she knows there is a bit of run off area to be used, she drives wide and faster than the other drivers and uses the extra bit of tarmac and passes a few drivers in one go.

    Nice touch to see most of the old and new presenters on screen, taken far too early by a horrid disease - RIP

    I think the tribute program did the Lady proud - she was genuinely liked.
    You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
    So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:
