But it only arrived today.
This is my new helmet painted by Sid Mosca in Brazil. For those who are not familiar with Sid Mosca he became famous for painting Ayrton Senna's helmet and now he does over 80% of all F1, Indy, etc. drivers around the world. If you see Ayrton replica hemlet on any site, he is the one who paints it under license from the Ayrton Senna Foundation). I met him in some of my trips to Brazil, showed him pictures with me and Ayrton and sent him a helmet with some basic specs: Black, Medium to light Blue and use your imagination. I told him I had a sticker of Senna's "S" also used as my first name and I was touched when he told me "because you were a friend of his and we hold the license to his logo we will put it in your helmet". I had goosebumps when I heard this! Now I have goose bumps just looking at this awesome piece of art.
I share this with you and will put into action new year!

BEAUTIFUL! Good call on letting him use his imagination, I'd say.

I did not know you knew Ayrton Senna. Link us up to those pics, man!

Fantastic-looking helmet. Hopefully it's protection will never be required!

That should be good for the 2 seconds you've been looking for.

Very nice.

you must be related to Will ...

"Alpha Romero" makes the beautiful car maker rolling on his grave...
Why so many people have trouble with this? Alfa (from the Latin "leading" or "dominant") and Romeo (as in Romeo and Juliet)

Now repeat several times: Alfa Romeo, Alfa Romeo, Alfa Romeo, Alfa Romeo, Alfa Romeo, Alfa Romeo ... see!

I thought Romeo was pronounced "Ro-mayo", not "Ro-mEo"

It was interesting to see two Alphas at the track last weekend(s).
