[quote name='Rotten Ali' timestamp='1114685916' post='15280'] Former grand prix driver John Love has passed away at the age of 80. The Zimbabwean won the 1962 British Saloon Car Championship in one of Ken Tyrrell’s Mini-Coopers as well as a string of South African titles. His Formula 1 career encompassed only nine grands prix and was confined to the world championship's visits to South Africa. On one of those occasions, at Kyalami in 1967, Love came within an ace of pulling off a fairytale victory before a late fuel pump problem handed the win to Pedro Rodriguez. The following year Love made F1 history, becoming the first driver to enter a grand prix in a car bearing commercial livery in a Brabham decked out in the colours of Gunston, a local tobacco brand. Love continued to race well into the 1970s before retiring to his native Zimbabwe. After a lengthy battle with cancer he succumbed early last Monday morning. [/quote]

From Wiki...
Dick Trickle died May 16, 2013 from an apparent self-inflicted gun shot wound. The incident occurred at 12:02 at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Boger City, NC. The Lincoln County Communications Center received a call apparently from the victim that "there would be a dead body and it would be his."

A cemetery is usually the perfect place to find a dead body

^{Not sure if they use a chequered flag in Speedway, but if they do Adam Roynon may not see another one.}

Who's Sterling Moss? Any relation to Sir Stirling Moss?

That said, you need a young English chap who has thinning hair and slightly larger ears to play him, who isn't a poofter. Wayne Rooney, step forward for your film debut...
