Default Sometimes surprise presents are the best!
Well, just over 3 years ago I was doing my apprenticeship with Honda Racing F1 and Jenson Button got his first race win!

As a momento we were given a picture of him crossing the finish line and a special A4 posted celebrating his race win.

Now, i'll be honest, i took mine home, showed my mum, made a comment about how it'd be nice to get it framed and then stuck it under my bed...

I've been feeling a bit pissed off for the last week or so as my bank account was defrauded out of pretty much everything in it!

So... my mum decided i needed cheering up!

She's just sent me this picture (so apologies its not the best!) - she's been to get it all professionally mounted and framed bless her!



I'm absolutely over the moon with it! Both the race win momentos, complete with my ID badges from when i worked there and my Grand Prix ticket!

Properly made up with it!

Lol - complete with my ID badges in there?

The minichamps model RA106 F1 car that i got signed by Jenson after his first race win is more likely to be worth a few quid

Nice one mate, lets hope he gets the job done at the weekend to save us all biting our nails until the last round.

I had my account fucked over, but my bank were really good to me (Nationwide) and sorted everything out pretty quickly
