["...Bob's terrible accident in 1976"]. He tells funny stories about that crash. You should hear him sometime ~ he'll make it hard for you to catch your breath from laughing. We've heard it several times and it never grows old.
Apparently, a lot of strange things go thru your mind while you're cartwheeling end over end at 170mph in a lightweight Japanese car.... 
Back in the 1960s there were several sportscar catalogs which offered interesting devices for the cars we couldn't afford. Haan and MG Mitten come to mind now, but there were others as well. They were full-color hi-level catalogs (initially ~ later B&W) with pictures of racing gloves, helmets, badge bars for the front of your Alfa/MG/Healey/Porsche, etc, Nardi steering wheels, Halda Speedpilots (some of you guys will have to look that up), shift knobs, racing mirrors, hairpin rollbars, chrome Borrani wheels, Dunlop Roadspeed and Michelin X tires, etc. By the 1970s they were pretty much done. Then along came Bob Sharp catalogs with his color covers and B&W sketched interior catalogs, and I couldn't wait to get the next one. Each issue contained the latest 'trick' BSR had developed since the last issue, making their cars a little quicker or faster on the track. You've got several of them there, I can see.
