Default Just found some old pictures of me

My first car, caged up mini on 6*10 wellers, I fucking loved that car, was gutted when some bird drove into the side of it and wrote it off!





Me after I won some champagne in a diving competition, Ive since upgraded my figure though and have now moved up from a sixpack to a keg, lol





Me at Silverstone in a formula ford in 1996

Simon, it was just one of the days that you can pay to go on and be instructed etc, my girlfriend at the time's old man bought me a day there, the sort of thing that you can do these days with the likes of red-letter-days etc.

Ive never raced one, in fact I wasnt all that good in it IIRC, Im sure I had about 3 spins, I was even worse with RWD 13 years ago than I am now, lol

A car nut at an early age.

Always been a petrol head mate, i'd have far more money and a better figure if I had just stuck with the swimming and martial arts as hobbies though rather than just concentrating on the cars since then, lol

Ive still got the muscle mass, its just under a nice layer of padding now, lol

Even though Im 30KG heavier now I can still drop and do 20 pressups without a problem, although I cant do the 200 in a row I used to back then.
