    Personal?

    What a Year!!!!!

    Getting Married to my gorgeous Millie in September was definately the highlight for me!





    Tracking the old 11 Turbo was good, both at the National Day at Mallory Park



    ...and at a cheeky last minute trackday at Brands Hatch on 9th Dec. Chuffed that the Photographer managed to get a picture of me having a little "off" down paddock hill bend!!



    Definately ran out of talent!!!!

    Re: Your 2011 Highlights

    Pretty quiet year tbh, suprisingly nobody's better'd my 374bhp clio since sep 10.

    The only real big thing was leaving the RAF after 14 years and landing an awesome job as an offshore wind turbine technician.

    No track days, either bike of car apart from a few laps at nat day in AndyRG's Clio.

    Next years plans will see a new 500 Bhp Clio engine and a turbo on my GSXR 1000, aiming for 200mph on two wheels

    My only highlight was getting the F7R turbo up and running and destroying the clutch after easily beating an Audi TTRS

    Apart from that the rest of 2011 was ****, roll on 2012

    Mapping this year and should hopefully see the fruits of the labours - been almost 4 years without boost.
