WIKIPEDIA WEDNESDAY - RONNIE ADAMS AND THE 1956 MONTE CARLO RALLY

From Wikipedia:
Ronald James "Ronnie" Adams (8 March 1916 – 12 April 2004) was a British rally driver from Belfast.  [He's seen on the right, above.]

Adams won the 1956 Monte Carlo Rally, for Jaguar, whose team was the first to come from Ireland to do so, and was the first winner of the Circuit of Ireland rally in 1936 at the age of 20. 

During a 30-year motorsport career, Adams was one of the leading Ulstermen at this time, and became a Jaguar works driver following the war.

In 1956 he and his co-drivers Frank Biggar and Derek Johnston had their most successful victory at the Monte Carlo Rally in January in a Jaguar Mark 7. They defeated the Mercedes-Benz 220 A of Walter Schock (West Germany) and the Sunbeam Mk3 of Peter Harper (UK).

'INSPECTOR MORSE'
"DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION"

Chief Inspector Endeavour Morse had the steering wheel from this car which he got at auction. Out of guilt, Morse gave it to a man he mistakenly believed to be the only suspect in a murder investigation. It was this blind fixation that nearly cost the man his life.
