F1 fan
As a young boy I was quite a fan of F1 racing. Watching them whizz round the track at top speed made the adrenalin pump and my arm flail about wildly as I shouted at the tv.

Imagine the excitement when my dad came home one day with a signed and autographed picture of Aryton Senna that he had obtained from the McLaren F1 team on a factory visit. Now imagine my absolute hysteria when said driver smashed into a wall and died. I was beside myself with joy. Not only had he died, but I was now in possession of his signed autographed photo. I was going to be rich, rich beyond my wildest dreams.

I still have the picture and I think it's worth about £300 now. I guess in retrospect I wasn't much of a fan was I!

Nice post.
I presume it's a typo, but the image of you flailing one arm aroung wildly made me chortle.

Cheers
