Which former F1 driver rolled a brand new Merc 6.9 S class between Druids & Graham Hill Bend (Brands) when on a demonstration run to show what a great car the brand new beast was. Only clue........ mid/late 60s. Oh all right...British.
I would guess Stirling Moss as he is the only British driver that I can think of who was linked with Mercedes.
A driver who drove in F1 during mid-to-late 60s you mean?

OK, I'll call time on this one as a) no-ones got it & b)I can't find the reference in my books.
The answer (if my memory is not playing tricks) (no age jokes please!) is Innes Ireland.

No. Not till you give the answer to your previous question

Had to prequalify the first half of the season because it was their first year back, the results in monaco for the team got them out of friday morning madness.
Its still your turn thoug eagleash, i knew innes ireland existed but i Did'nt know of his exploits.

It's OK you have a go if you'd like to. I've posted 3 now which no ones got, so my era is obviously far too early.

I know the second without looking: Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn said that one to another before the races I think.
Correct, though it later became applied more to Collins I think.
The other one is similar era.

Shortish F1 career but was on Ferrari's books until retirement. Quite well known in sports cars. (That's 3 clues in total).

Yes that bit was easy...see above & for 3 clues.
I'll put in a third one which should also be very easy....
C) "Jumper"

Jumper is another wordplay on the name of the driver, 70s/80s.

Only thing I can think of is 2003 - they were both test drivers that had to step in mid-season replacements, but only competed in a single race that year...and scored points in said races.
Apart from that - not a clue.

Good boy.
So... question...I'm on my iPod right now in bed (school night and all that), so I'll leave the question till tomorrow. If anyone has a question bursting out of them, go ahead, but I'll have one at some point around lunch on the morrow.

School NIGHT?! It's not even 3:00 here. Come on, you should have at least another nine to ten good hours left in you.

When you run the world, you can make its citizens do whatever you want.
Goblin don't go there you are on thin ice with Europeans when it comes to US military stuff.
Whilst we wait for Shinji to get out of detention or whatever is keeping him from posting a Q...
Here's one should be easy.
Which World Champ changed teams & trailered his own race car (behind a Ford Zodiac I think) from capetown to Kyalami for the next season's opener.
It's obviously quite old (It's me Godammit) so no other clues.
