I just remember it having a good gym whilst staying a few days for a replen. Good times really.
Didn't have much of anything when I was there as it was fairly new. Certainly not much in the way of tents and no buildings. We all lived on our wagons. smile

Skis. Not the first thing which popped into my head when the 'Pointless' researchers gave me 100 seconds to name as many "Vehicles" as I could.

Awesome as the image/feat of skill are, I think it would be better posted here... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

And Graham Hill's finest hour - his attitude and professionalism after Jimmy Clark's death was much admired within the GP circus.

He had cohones - he's starting the race here after his teammate Jackie Oliver had the mother and father of accidents in practice when the soon-to-be-banned high aerofoil fell off at high speed. Later in the season the stupid things were banned. Colin Chapman took advantage of the crash to put the wind up the other teams who were using these devices, but did nothing to change his own cars.

The human is the engine.

The ski is the "wheel" that glides and steers.

Skis transport humans and cargo and have done for for at least the past 7,000 years.

Other ski-based vehicles include snowmobiles, snowcats, etc.
