You're a brave man, Mr Fangio

Today Mr Fangio joined the Dangerous Sports Club.
Because along with hang-gliding, skeleton luge and base jumping, taking the mickey out of Fangio's driving certainly ranks right up there.
You know that advert where the bloke goes white-water canoeing down some foreign cataract and breaks his leg, then the emergency services fish him out and everywhere you look you see the bill mounting up? Well, alongside that bloke in the other cot in the air ambulance is Mr Fangio.
What Mr Fangio did was this. Over on our sister blog, the Reg Skoda Advent Calendar I posted a clip of the start of the Le Mans 24-hour race, taken from the Steve McQueen film.

Bloggers with longer memories may recall that Mr Fangio was nicknamed thus after his wife attracted the attentions of a speed camera while driving like Dick Dastardly through the quiet back streets of Paignton. Hence she became known as Fangio.
I have mentioned this to her once or twice and I think I have got away with it up to now.
But Mr Fangio may not be so lucky.
He commented on the clip, saying: "This is what it is like every time she gets into the car". Or words to that effect.
Now, Fangio is a lovely lady, a fine, upstanding member of the Higher Paignton community, a women of peace and inner tranquility.
Or let's hope so for the sake of the latest member of the Dangerous Sports Club...
