"Mario Andretti - The Complete Record"
Can I please recommend this new book to fans of the American motor racing legend?
My motives aren't entirely selfless - I have to confess that some of my photographs are in it! Read more about it here:- http://www.deepthrottle.com/History/...k_review.shtml Last edited by Aysedasi; 27 Mar 2007 at 13:40. |

I'll buy that - looks a super book. And story of course. He has to be one of the all-time greats too.

Andretti eh? I don't really have good reason to buy it, even if you you do have photos in it.
Maybe |

Don't worry - it's not a hard sell from me - I don't get any royalties, you know!

Presumably the pictures you took are from Andretti's Le Mans exploits?

Indeed they are. If you visit my "house", you can see some very small thumbnails of them.

Greatest all-round racer ever IMO, and a great individual to speak to!

Well done on the photos mate, hope you got a complimentary copy. While Mario has been one of the greatest all rounders, I must admit to a sneaky satisfaction that the debonair and great moustache wearer, Graham Hill is still the only driver to get the Triple Crown, (Indy 500, F1 WDC, Le Mans).
