657.0. "Mr Van Rossem and 24h of Spa" by NCEIS1::CHEVAUX () Tue Jun 27 1989 19:14

    22/23 Jul = 24 hours of Spa-Francorchamps
    
    Mr Van Rossem, the wealthy man who owns Moneytron, Onyx, among other
    things is willing to race a couple of cars. First he thought about
    racing 2 Porsche 944 Turbos, then he thought Porsches were lacking
    class, so finally (?) he decided to enter 2 Ferrari's.
    
    Fine. Now the drivers. How about Mr Van Rossem's F1 employees ?
    We may see a team composed of Stefan Johansson, Bertrand Gachot,
    plus a few more, not confirmed yet.
    
    Ah yes, the cars. Latest info: they might be a couple of Ferrari
    Mondial 3.2 with minor mods (group N specs)
                                
    Side info: Mr Van Rossem is seriously thinking about acquiring Team
    Tyrrell.
    
    Enough for now

    If you can't imagine how "MR" Van Rossem looks like try this :
    
    - take 1 very big bag
    - fill it completely with water
    - a grey wig with very long hair and a grey beard
    - 1 sigaret every five seconds
    - 1 big mouth that vomits meaningless worths
    - one scandal afther the other
    - "political" party R.O.S.S.E.M. !!! (Dit is Belgisch )
    - infantile literature
    - bankrupcy
    - uncovered cheques
    - his dead wife in a refrigirator !!!
    - ....
    
    mix all these ingredients and you might have the picture !
