Racecar spelled backwards is Racecar

"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting" ... Steve McQueen as Michael Delaney in "LeMans"

"If you wait, all that happens is that you get older"... Mario Andretti

"Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose" ... Ayrton Senna
I wrote it back in February for publication in the May Newsletter of our Gold Coast Region PCA.
Happy May the 4th

The 356, the car that started it all, and made a movie star a legend, was a flat 4.
At least poets don't cause accidents while writing - unless they're behind the wheel at the time, of course.
you just got in in a Cracker Jack box.

......yes, I know, there will be some people here who have no idea what a Cracker Jack is. smiling smiley
the belgians are notorious in europe for their lack of driving skills. it used to be that all do did was apply for one and it was given to you. no test. i think it was like that until some time in the 70s but i'm not sure.
there is a joke in switzerland that if you fail your driver's license test three times they give you belgian license plates.

Does that go for both the Walloons and the Flemings? Back in the 80s I believe Belgium was actually ahead of Italy in the number of governments since World War 2.
After the upgrade of the 912 to 911 and even counting the 914/4, the 924, 944 and 928 the ratio of flat-6 vs other allows me to take poetic license.

Yes, but they've announced that flat-4s are in the future.

Love it Pedro. Well written.

....however, as an addendum - it won't be with me.
Back to the 4's...
