[S1Steve]

Merry Christmas Eve Morning,

 

I would like to ask our Brothers up North,

#1- When are YOU going to make a Holiday for my all time favorite driver, The late ,great Gilles Villeneuve, I meet him at the Grand Prix in Watkins Glen in 1977. A fine Canadan gentelman.http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1933094245_gilles 003.jpghttp://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/193649830_gilles 002.jpg

By coincidence, I am wearing my Gilles Villeneuve golf shirt right now. I picked it up a few years ago at the Gilles Villeneuve museum in Berthierville Quebec. 'Worth a visit if you are ever up in that area.

-Nice model.

Peter,

I am trying to find the Gilles Villeneuve Museum web-site , an I am not having any luck. Can you help me out. I would like to add a new shirt to the closet.

Glad you like the model, EXOTO,Ferrari 312 t4/t5 1:18 , I have a enough models to fill the grid.

And I have my date wrong for Watkins Glen, it's 1979. WET, COLD, FUN !!!!!!

It's probably because your searching in English. :leaving:

 

Try googling it with "musée de villeneuve gilles" and you come up with this

Does anybody want his autograph, obtained by yours truly at the 1978 British GP at Brands? I should go check that Museum out one of these days. I have to talk my wife out of going to Jacques' restaurant every time we're in Montreal; maybe I could make a deal with her.

I named our car in honour of him- hence the 27 of SR27, though number 12 had more wins and therefore was more famous- What was the last car he drove in which we saw his untimely demise? #27.

 

 

 

[S1Steve]

 

Thanks for the web-site. Glad that you used the #27 for your car, good choice. When I was running my FF and my Mini, there was only one number that I would use. I just wish I had half the talent that the number deserves !!!!

 

Another Museum that I can put on my " Go To" list, First is Donnington ! And I if I remain a good boy :blueangel: that will happen this summer.:party:

"I have to talk my wife out of going to Jacques' restaurant every time we're in Montreal"

 

Won't name-drop on this, but VERY close connections tell me that Jacques has sold the restaurant...

Haven't been by in a few weeks though, so can't confirm if its a visible change yet.

He has sold it.

 

Baton rouge restaurant actually bought the place. It's a rib and steak kinda of place. Don't know when the move will be made, but it's been confirmed by many.

 

Crescent avenue won`t be was it used to be with the GrandPrix gone.

[slngsht]

not sure how this ended up in General Sevens Discussions. Moving to Off Topic.

As in Baton Rouge, Louisiana? Which restaurant? I live there.

Don't think they are related.

Baton Rouge is a rib and steak restaurant chain in Quebec. Nothing special about it really. It's a mid-range restaurant type as in it make middle class people think they are in a rich restaurant!
