thanks a lot, René!

Here is another photo from Zandvoort circuit in 1995, showing the team with friends around Serge van Havres and my Griffith supported by Chris Schirle/DG Motorsport. Thanks to the generous hospitality of the nevertheless very successful Serge van Havre the following years we had many unforgettable events together as a team, competing in the Europaen FIA Championship for historic GTs and other series.

Even my very first event, an endurance race at Snetterton in October 1993, was fortunately supported by Chris Schirle because I was a bloody beginner and was in need of a lot of advise. Behind the steering wheel sat the great Gerry Marshall, who should start this race.

Yes the thread is fantastic and yes a lot is out there on the net somewhere but pulling it all together here makes even those of us with older cars appreciate what we are lucky enough to have.
I love the later Tuscan but would i swop my 60s Tuscan for one nono

I think I was at this race - I have photos somewhere of the front brake disks glowing red/ orange as Gerry took the chicane.
