Ausgezeichnet als Biografie des Jahres beim Motorworld Buchpreis 2021 5. September 1970. Österreich hat einen Nationalhelden verloren. Jochen Rindt ist tot. Der Le-Mans-Sieger von 1965, der sich von Flugplatzrennen über die Formel 2 in die Königsklasse fuhr und posthum zum Formel-1-Weltmeister gekürt werden sollte, war eine schillernde Persönlichkeit. Der gebürtige Deutsche, der in Österreich aufwuchs, wusste zu polarisieren. Das Buch schildert die wohlbehütete Kindheit bei den Großeltern, nachdem er die Eltern im Krieg verloren hatte, den Ausbruch in der Pubertät, die schnelle stürmische Laufbahn und das tragische Ende in Monza - dies ist das Porträt einer Ikone mit verborgenen Tiefen. Dr. Erich Glavitza, Journalist, Autor, Renn- und Stuntfahrer und obendrein noch promovierter Philosoph, kannte Rindt gut und hat in seiner bekannt lockeren Art dieses ebenso schillernde wie erkenntnisreiche und einfühlsame Bild seiner Person gezeichnet. Er beschreibt den ungestümen Charakter Rindts und die kaum bekannte, ganz andere Beziehung zum Halbbruder, mit dem Glavitza lange gesprochen hat. Schließlich analysiert Erich Glavitza ausführlich den tödlichen Unfall mit dem filigranen Lotus. Dies ist das umfassende Standardwerk über Jochen Rindt, reich illustriert mit teils nie gezeigten Privat- und Rennsportfotos, etwa von Alois Rottensteiner, der ebenfalls nah dran war an Rindt und dem Rest der Szene. Mit Vorworten von Bernie Ecclestone und Uwe Eisleben. Zum 50. Todestags des Rennfahrers legt McKlein diese 400 Seiten starke großformatige Biographie in edler Ausstattung und im Schuber vor. ------------------------------------------------------------- Awarded Biography of the Year at the Motorworld Buchpreis 2021 It is September 5th, 1970. Austria has lost a national hero. Jochen Rindt is dead. The 1965 Le Mans winner who drove his way from airfield races to Formula Two and right on to Formula One, where he was to be crowned champion posthumously, was a dazzling personality. Born in Germany and raised in Austria, he knew how to polarize relationships. The book portrays his sheltered childhood with his grandparents after he lost his parents in the war, the onset of puberty, his rapid yet stormy career, and its tragic end in Monza. This is a portrait of a champion with hidden depths. Dr. Erich Glavitza, journalist, author, racing and stunt driver and, on top of that, a PhD in philosophy, knew Rindt well and, in his well-known relaxed manner, has painted this picture of Jochen Rindt, that is as compelling as it is insightful and sensitive. He describes Rindt's impetuous character and the little-known, completely different relationship he had with his half-brother, with whom Glavitza spoke at length for this book. Finally, Erich Glavitza analyses in detail the fatal accident at Monza with the F1 Lotus. This is a comprehensive study of Jochen Rindt, the man and the racing driver, which is richly illustrated with private photos and with racing pictures some of which have never been shown before. These include ones from Alois Rottensteiner, who was also close to Rindt and part of the racing scene of the 1960s and 1970s. The preface is by Bernie Ecclestone, Rindt's manager and friend. To mark the 50th anniversary of the racing driver's death, McKlein is presenting this 400-page large-format biography in a noble design and slipcase. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5 septembre 1970, l'Autriche perd un héros national : Jochen Rindt est décédé. Personnalité éblouissante, le vainqueur du Mans en 1965 a débuté dans des courses disputées sur des aérodromes avant de marquer de son empreinte la Formule 2 et de se hisser au plus haut niveau du sport automobile. Il sera sacré Champion du Monde de Formule 1 à titre posthume. Né en Allemagne, il a grandi en Autriche, élevé par des grands-parents protecteurs après avoir perdu ses parents durant la guerre. Le livre raconte cette enfance, son éclosion à la puberté, sa carrière orageuse et rapide et sa fin tragique à Monza. C'est le portrait d'un homme aux mille visages. Erich Glavitza, journaliste, auteur, pilote de course et cascadeur, mais aussi docteur en philosophie, a bien connu Rindt. Il dépeint avec son style unique la personnalité à la fois éblouissante et sensible du pilote. Il décrit le caractère impétueux de Rindt et sa relation peu connue et particulière avec son demi-frère, avec lequel Glavitza s'est longuement entretenu. Enfin, Erich Glavitza analyse en détail l'accident mortel avec en filigrane la responsabilité de Lotus. Cet ouvrage très complet sur Jochen Rindt est richement illustré de photos, pour certaines inédites, prises dans le cercle privé et en course. Elles sont l'oeuvre notamment d'Alois Rottensteiner, qui était un proche de Rindt et du monde de la Formule 1. La préface est signée Bernie Ecclestone. À l'occasion du 50ème anniversaire de la mort du pilote automobile, McKlein édite cette biographie grand format de 400 pages, livrée dans un élégant étui rigide.

Unless you're buying it for a child, I'd pass on this one.
Color: Black (Bifold)
Gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with this item. It's literally just 2 pieces of leather sewn together. Very flimsy, and all edges are raw/unfinished. The reason it's still getting a couple star rating is because it is a good size for a standard wallet, and it would be comfortable as it is so floppy, but you could probably expect to end up with bent or broken credit cards because of that. Overall I'd say your just paying for the name on this one and I'd pass unless you can get it for super cheap, for there's no way this thing is going to last the test of time.

not impressed
Color: Brown (Bifold), Color: Brown (Bifold)
I own several articles of Carhartt clothing, most of which i got from a thrift store; it has been said that Carhartt meant quality--and quality meant high prices. When a Carhartt item became available through the Vine program, I was surprised, and decided that I would use this opportunity to pick up what I thought was going to be a good quality wallet. Nope. For what they ask for their stuff, you would assume that it was made with high quality materials and in the united states. this wallet misses the mark on both of those points. it is clearly stated on both the packaging and inside the wallet itself that it is made in india. the leather is thin and and may be so to effect the rapid aging and forming of the wallet around its contents, but it only has 3 card slots and a mesh-windowed ID card slot, so that seems like a stretch of an excuse. More likely, Carhartt cheaped out on materials. the stitching looks like it is made with plasticky thread , which may not hold up very long. but it IS embossed with the Carhartt logo, which is all some people need.

Rustic sturdy & simple leather wallet
Color: Brown (Bifold), Color: Brown (Bifold)
This Mens Full Grain Patina Leather Wallet has a rough, durable and rustic style with basic functionality and capacity as well as slim profile as in my pictures. I put about 10 dollar bills and a couple of my cards in this bifold wallet in my pictures. (You can put 3 cards in the card pockets on the right and 1 in the mesh pocket on the left.) It has a hard relatively smooth outer surface and a coarse surface on the other side. Over time of use, I would expect the leather to become tenderer. If you are looking for an affordable slim leather wallet with minimum functionality and capacity, this will be a good candidate. Thank you for letting me review this product.

Simple, Rugged Wallet with Classic Carhartt Style
Color: Black (Bifold), Color: Black (Bifold)
I ordered this Carhartt Patina Leather Bifold wallet and it is exactly what you would expect from the brand. It is simple, sturdy, and practical. The wallet comes packaged in a nice Carhartt box, which makes it feel like a quality item right out of the package and would make it easy to give as a gift. The leather has a smooth finish on the outside with clean stitching around the edges. It feels durable and like it will hold up well with everyday use. The interior has a more rugged, suede-like leather texture which gives it that classic workwear look Carhartt is known for. Inside there are three card pockets, a billfold pocket, and a clear ID window which makes it easy to access identification quickly. The layout is simple but functional and it keeps the wallet fairly slim so it should fit comfortably in a front or back pocket. Overall, this is a well made everyday wallet with a classic look. If you like Carhartt products and want something durable without a lot of extra bulk, this wallet is a solid option.

Compared to g-shock?
Color: Black/Yellow
Firstly random public reviews can be comical…”it’s has a battery, terrible, One star” or “I don’t like yellow, one star” omg peoples do better. I’ll review this while comparing to an older style of g-shock from the same era. I’ll start by saying this timex rocks, for me in my mid 50’s it’s so retro and nastalgic, brings back memories, I may have even owned this model back in the day. What’s great about it- the display, larger digits than the typical g-shock and they are super crisp, clear and easy to read. The indiglo is awesome. This is the most accurate quartz watch I have aside from the atomic g-shocks that adjust themselves daily. I prefer a chunky watch and the g-shocks do a better job in that department. i feel this watch is rugged, but I’d still give the nod to g-shock in this department. 200M water resistance is the gold standard and this watch has it which I love for peace of mind for any water based activities. This is a 5 star watch at a great price. I still love some aspects of a g-shock better but its just preference.
