It just gets better and better. Summer is here, at least on the calendar, but in Northern California, the skies are still filed with clouds and I have not been in a sun-shinny mood even with the upcoming vintage car races this weekend. Then to top it all off I open up the July issue of Road & Track and read an article by racecar driver Sam Posey which he quite openly admits that during his 14th year he finds a used 300SL Gullwing Mercedes and talks his mother into buying it for him to blast around the back farm fields and dirt roads. This is also the same time period of my life where as young boy I also knew that with a little luck I to could be as good as Phil Hill, (it didn't happen) whose pictures I had taped to my wall, in the form of torn out pages from the Fuller Brush advertisement that was mailed to our house. This (and I still have the frayed and tape covered pages) showed Phil and the cars (Ferraris) he raced and owned. But all I had was an English 3 speed racing bicycle which I paid for myself.
