Well, I'll be damned! Colin and I share the same birthday. He died one year before I was born.
My Elise thanks you for your heritage, Colin.

Holy coincidence!
My youngest son shares the birthday anniversary with Colin Chapman.

So.... do you want to start a controversey?
There are a number of "authorities" that claim that Chapman was born on May 9th and not May 19th... Cheers, Kiyoshi

Thanks Colin - I guess you were looking down at Miller Motorsports today, as I've never driven that well before...
