Good work Mike!  :z16
Is the painting the 1965 or the 1967 British Grand Prix with the great Jim Clark leading and winning? I can't make out which race it is.

It is a limited edition print Euan ..... "Jim Clark World Champion 1963 and 1965".

Silverstone GP 1965, Jim Clark leads in the Lotus, then Hill in the BRM, Surtees in a Ferrari, Ginther in a Honda, Stewart in a BRM, Spence in a Lotus, McLaren in a Cooper,  and Rindt in a Cooper.

That's special Mike, really special.
IMHO, Jim Clark was the best driver ever. I believe there is a programme on BBC Scotland tonight that features JC. I'm sure the programme will be awful but if there is footage of Jim then all will be forgiven.  :z4

Best looking cars too, the Lotus Climax and the Ol' 47

Off to do a Youtube search for JC videos

Sometimes things just work out nicely....
One hour Eastenders tonight which I neatly swerved by watching the one hour Jim Clark programme recommended by Mike. If you haven't seen it and have even the slightest interest in motorsport, watch it.

Just a class chap, a true gentleman, a natural racer and just NOT a dick like a lot of modern sportsmen.
Thanks Mike.

Mike, i finally had a wee test drive with the 6wt GT125 yesterday on grass with the TCX that i bought from Sandy. It is superb, I cant wait to try the 4 wt SLX and take them both out on water somewhere to actually fish with them. Thanks again for a superb product at a realistic price.

Eddie.
