Paddy Hopkirk RIP

[mjheathcote]

Good innings.
Generation thing but remember him more for the explosion proof petrol can my dad had.
However I hope he did well out of the commission for using his name.

Another sad loss of a great driver. The BBC has a pretty good review of his exploits:

He put his name to a lot of accessories, I'm sure (hope) he did well out if it .

I still have his roof bars.
Not tried them on the QP yet.

Not sure if I was the first ever to put a roof rack on a Maserati but I did in New Zealand and it certainly caused a stir in the Auckland traffic
