At long last the powers to be have recognized the great achievement of John Surtees as being the only man to win world championships on 2 and 4 wheels.Congratulations Mr Surtees.
Will anyone equal in the future? Doubt it but it looks like Mr Schumaker is trying the other way round.Perhaps when he has stopped falling off and has qualified his mountain course license Paul should invite him to become a newcomer.Now that would be a coupe.

"Sir" would be more fitting.

What an honour our family has to have a member of our family awarded an O.B.E along side John Surtees !
Phylis Self of Lacock, Wiltshire, Britains Oldest Female Boss!
100years old last November! She has a garden centre known as
Whitehall in Lacock and had it since I was a small child (not that I'm much taller now lol). She visited me four years ago on holiday with her son who runs the garden centre with her.
