Tom Walkinshaw

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned here yet, but I was quite sad to hear of the passing of Tom Walkinshaw.  As a kid I loved the Jags he used to race, and I got his autograph when he was in NZ for the NissanMobil 500 one year.  He was a grumpy little bugger.  But a great racer, and a legendary team manager.

He was quite a character for sure.  Pretty hard nosed business man as well.
