These Jabrock Bullrun sunglasses should do the trick for those (often brief) occasions when the Blighty sun is on full beam, adding a bit of spectator style trackside as the competition roars by.

Lee Gale, chief sub-editorGraham Hill: Life at the LimitMy Father’s Day plea for a Suixtil T-shirt (in pale blue) here last year went completely unnoticed, so this time I’m pushing the boat out with a hardback edition of Graham Hill’s 1969 autobiography. Online there are rave reviews of this tome, that Hill is honest and outspoken and that his writing style mirrors the way he spoke. This alone is cause to find a copy but why this is so desirable is that it’s (gulp) signed by Hill, Sir Jackie, John Surtees, Peter Gethin and Denny Hulme. |
