     What was good about it?

Easy to fix and cheap to run. Doubled the horsepower by reconnecting the two spark plugs that my crafty old man had disconnected to limit my “go fast” desires.

     And Bad?

Handled terribly, and the heater was always a problem.

How and when did you start in Motorsport? After joining the BMW Club during a club sprint, I was invited to experience the real thing as a passenger in Graeme Bell and Paul Kertes race cars. I was hooked.
Favourite Race Track and why? Winton because it is so demanding on a driver to get the best time.
Best moment(s) in motorsport?

3rd Place for 2006 & 2007 in the Winton 6 Hour Relay.

Disappointments

At Winton developing too many G’s around the sweeper and losing oil pressure which destroyed the motor.

Points of interest / Career highlights

Enjoying the great camaraderie in the E30 Racing Club, and the “after racing” family functions.

Accidentally rubbing sides with John Bowe’s  Lamborghini Gallardo during a practice session at Winton
Interests outside motorsport?

Photography and my Grand children.
