This seems to have been an ingenious idea. But if you're writing a term paper, like I am, and trying just to get facts about her life and not cute stories about the children getting their tonsils out, then this is not the book for you. The only other disappointment is that this manuscript was unpublished for so many decades that it has not been updated. The pictures, most of which I have never seen before, add immeasurably to the understanding of what was a major center of sport scar racing in the late 50's.A great book, if you are at all interested in post war sports car racing you should add this book to your collection.. great quality, and quickly. If you are interested in privacy and why it is important, I highly recommend it.. Very happy with this service manual.. I liked that it gave detail. Now I know why you get all of that extra shizzy with the timing belt, because you have to support the motor, split the two piece motor mount, take the body half of the mount out first, and the timing belt comes out with the idler pulley, water pump and motor side of the motor mount, not to mention that is the same way you have to put the thing back together also. Any feedback would be very much appreciated And and clarification on my original question Thanks very much. This book is a really great read if youHe later raced alone in a personal Ferrari Sport model at the 1954 1000 km Buenos Aires. He participated in 5 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on July 1, 1956. He often needed several cars to finish a race. Portago used his skill to avert careening into a crowd after the driver ahead of him touched his brakes and both cars went into a 180 m skid. During the 1955 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Portago was thrown from his Ferrari while racing at 140 km/h after losing control on a patch of oil. His best result was a second place at the 1956 British Grand Prix (a shared drive with Peter Collins), and scored a total of four championship points. In 1953 he raced with Luigi Chinetti in the Carrera Panamericana. He was hospitalized with a broken leg.. de Portago won six major races, including the Tour de France automobile race, the Grand Prix of Oporto, and the Nassau Governor's Cup (twice). de Portago began racing sports cars in 1953 after his meeting with the Ferrari importer in the USA, Luigi Chinetti, who asked him to be his co-driver in the Carrera Panamericana. Among sports car enthusiasts, de Portago was known as a two-car man, because of the many burned-out brakes, clutches, transmissions, and wrecked cars for which he was responsible. In Nassau, during the winter of 1956, Portago trailed the car ahead of him by centimeters while travelling at 240 km/h
