I was a pretty competent driver, just starting out in local competitions. In 1965, (age 19) I rolled a MB 190SL at Lime Rock (SCCA/F class)..almost right in front of where my parents were sitting. I was fine, got out and walked away. My mom ran over..when she saw I was fine, took her pocket book, and started beating me over the helmet with it, My dream of being the next Juan Manuel Fangio died that day.
If you had been in a Ferrari, the story could have been different.
