I was there the day Williams took its first grand prix win. I'd thrashed my Hillman Avenger GLS all the way down to Silverstone from the north-east, discovered that the temperature gauge crept up if you kept it at 90mph for any length of time, used its reclining seat as a bed, parked in a lay-by just a walk away from the track.
