    Vic Elford's book

    I just finished reading the autobiography of Vic Elford, the brilliant and fantastically versatile driver.
    I am especially interested in his rally events in the 911, starting in 1967.
    His 1968 year was just brilliant.

    He said that he fell immediately in love with the 911

    There is a wonderful YouTube video on him I think titled Balance.

    Thank Rower. Wonderful to watch him drive and shift while listening to the man who knows.
