Passed driving test when 17

Bought Escort Estate from Dads company aged 17 - lowered it, stuck big brakes on it, stripped it to empty inside - drove everywhere like a mad man

It got stolen and recovered - sold it

Bought grey Rsturbo at 18-19 years old - modified it as much as I could with near enough no cash

did 14.51 down the 1/4 mile with 165 bhp at wheels

Did 149.9 mph on 165 at the wheels

did 1min 3.42 seconds round knockhill

Split up with gf whilst traveling, sold Rsturbo to pay back ex-gf

Came home - got job - worked hard - managed to get permenant contract (4 years ago now) bought tommi mak evo 6.

Picked it up, drove onto the m'way slip round and took it straight round to 7,500 in fifth instantly hitting the baps on every change.

Did an 8:43 on my first lap of the nurburgring 3 up in the damp

Did 8:16.67 with rainbird in the car chasing a porsche

hit the baps on every change once the car was warm and never saw more than 95 miles to a tank

sold the evo

bought a house

2 years later ( now ) looking to buy bmw m3, stick cage in it and take back to the roads like a total psycho again.

Many other things happened in all this time, but W.O.T., limiter (aka baps) and V-max lead to laps times, and therefore they take priority
