Has he got any proper cars as well? he must have a 'nice' few quid....

and I have to say his fleet looks pretty WANK to me

400bhp Saff Cos? Hardly JK's Enzo is it!!!

Mk2 Escort.... is it UBERBLING like Colin Mccrashs one?

His Marcos was REALLY REALLY shite as well....

all IMHO of course!

Love the music though


Just send Redkops post. Fair play great Series to be involved in

Cars and racing
Maxi is very fond of his cars, with his collection as featured Sky One's Vroom Vroom motoring show:

Subaru Impreza P1
Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 - her buddah name is "The Orchid Room"; her street name is "Biscuit". All listeners to Rodigan's early reggae show will recognise the reference. This is the car he wants to be buried in
Ford Sierra Cosworth
Marcos LM500 R
In light of the increased number of cameras in London, and his love of driving his cars quickly (he is presently banned from driving under the points totting up scheme), Maxi started racing cars. On Sunday 9 December 2001 maxi had a serious car accident, postponing several of Faithless's UK tour dates. When Maxi asked Rae Claydon to run him in the Ford Fiesta championship, he founded Maxi Jazz Racing. In 2005 he raced a Ginetta, and in 2006 raced a Porsche 997 in the UK Porsche Carrera Cup, as one of the oldest and yet less experienced drivers

i am a FOH sound engineer mate.

as for metalica... they were great... my school days heros... but lars was so out of time at times... it pains me being a drummer, well guitarist fristly... damm him grrrr, i think he had a real bad one.
