Dave. I forgot about Prost, What was the guys name that road on Ayrton's car after one of them won a race he was an Englishman? Mc something. I keep thinking of Jackie Stewart but I know thats not it. This one race in particular made Him and Senna famous. I got into WRC shortly after Senna's passing.

Tunka your correct its St Johns Wood.
Yeah at that time I lived in Chelsea of the Kings Road on Old Church Street. I could see Battersea Park before they renovated it, whatever that building was. It had 4 smoke stacks on the corners. I miss London. Before we lived in Chelsesa we lived in Surrey, Oxshot to be exact. Its been so long, I can't believe I remember the address. ArunBridge, Moleshill, Oxshot, Cobham'Stoke D' Abernon, Surrey KT22 OQB.
How's that for a memory.
My Grand Father passed away in 05 and I went back to Scotland for His funeral. That was the last time I had been back into the UK since I came back to the States in 92. By the way I am originally from Prestwick. We came to the States when I was 5 and I was naturalized in 84 in Bakersfield California.
Anyways. I am ranting.
Marylebone. yeah i remember that tube station.

Nigel Mansell?  Just guessing, had to look it up on Wikipedia.

I liked London too, but I only got to see the tourist traps like Piccadilly Circus & Westminster for the short time I was there.  Great food & fun people, not what I was expecting at all.  The Tube is so easy to use too...great system.  Your signs are better in England, very clear & to the point.  Thanks for the crosswalk signs too, I was nearly road kill looking the wrong way for traffic...

Nigel Mansell, thats it. Yeah. I am more americanized. I have lost the roll of my r. A lot of my pub friends say that sometimes they can here my accent. I don't think so.
I miss the cabbies. they could turn right on the inner two wheels. They were crazy.
Anyways. Nigel raced for quite some time after that. There was talk about his resignation then Schumacher was coming into scene and of course drama. Nigel left and more or less Schumacher took off. I think he won 9 years straight for Ferrari. But before Ferrari If my memory serves me right, He raced for Mclaren/ West Mercedes.
Its good to remember this stuff.
Thanks.

when i got the DME appart there was quite a bit of corrosion on the bottom of the pc board. most looked very new but i think its been flooded before, used wd40 to clean it and then used a pc board water proofer i use on race yacht computers. with the oven trick i did that with my camera after it had its water proof case smashed, and got pretty wet with salt water. i cleaned that with water to get rid of the salt crystals took 4days in the boiler room and 4hours in the oven till it worked again. i thought it was dead so figured theres no harm in putting it in the oven.

the dme was on the left hand side of my car so my passenger side
