Hi Burt, welcome to the site.

I would love to see your painting at some point, as would many other members I would imagine. If you need anyone to host them online, drop me a PM.

Look forward to discussing all things F1 with you, Stephen

Welcome to the forum. It's great to somebody with such a vast wealth of experience on board. This forum tends to made up of people who have mainly followed Formula One since the 1980s and 70s, so it would be amazing to hear some first-hand stories of what it was like to watch Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark and others.
