This is a new Twitter feed from @ShortAxle - inspired by my #andrewcstracksidearchive Instagram page. I'll regularly post memories from 40+ years of photographing and writing about motorsport. For starters #OnThisDay in 1987, the Jaguar that fell off and still won the race...

I still love the fact that Bluetooth was named after the 10th-century Danish King Harald 'Bluetooth' Gormsson, said to have had a dead tooth (or to have loved liquorice). He united the various tribes of Denmark, hence the name choice for a technology that is all about connecting.
