Clay Reggazoni
We wake this morning to the news of the death of Clay Reggazoni, having succumbed to injuries sustained in a car crash yeaterday.

Clay was the racing driver whose life was saved by Mike Hailwood, who pulled Clay from a burning racing car, for which act Mike received his GM.

The "Times" did an extensive obituary about Clay but never mentioned that he had been saved by Mike Hailwood...............

I read and noticed that Ian.Just show they do not research their news too well as it will allways stand out as one of the most heroic actions to occur in the racing world,and the award of the GM confirms this.

rather ironic [if irony is the right word?] that clay was killed in a road accident with a truck - and so was the man who saved him! co-incidental? help me out with a word to describe this event, as grey matter is kaput these days.
cheers, ade!
p.s. thanx for the crimbo card helen Big Grin
ACU? why not add "nt" to the end, you'll get the idea!

I think Don would say co-incidence, and, in fact the circumstances are entirely different. I understand that Clay may have taken ill, and that he drove into the back of a truck.
