Admin, THANKS for the info about Umberto RUMIANO!!

McGuinness crosses the line to take the last ever F1 race, just being pipped to the line by Archibald who kept it wide open to the last.

Apologies - fingers don't work as well as the brain I am afraid.

McGuinness pays thanks to all his team mates including Jin Moodie who has been helping out and says "This one is for DJ".

Oh, DO NOT WORRY! Again Thanks!

i wish i'd visited this forum during the race. i had tried to connect to the radio stream on the manx radio website, but it was overloaded, and my regular "wireless" couldn't find the station either (damn modern junk - i remember having no problems when i was a kid listening to through an old valve-set). LOL.
