And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Kimi Raikkonen after crashing out of Rally Bulgaria, Borovets, July 9, 2010
Regarding yesterday's post of a custom Telecaster, Jeff Beck's guitars are going to be sold at auction by Christie's next week. Bring your chequebook. https://www.christies.com/en/auction/jeff-beck-the-guitar-collection-30401/ Al_in_Ottawa
However the best Kimi story is the one where he went to a summer lake party. He wanted to waterski but someone reminded him that his racing contract forbid him to participate in "dangerous sports" for fear of injury. There is a resulting photograph of Kimi dressed up in a full-body (complete with head) bear costume, waterskiing with one hand and holding a mug of beer in the other. Naturally Kimi denied it was him ;-')
He was great to watch in press interviews after an F-1 race. The facial expressions and replies given to the reporters are hilarious. Legend!
ReplyDeleteIs that when he decided to go back to F1?

My favorite Kimi quote, "Leave me alone! I know what I'm doing!"
