*doesn't run, more backs away slowly*

like i said, growing up in my house, there was no football, no cricket, just cars. or anything with an engine, boats, planes, but mainly cars. my dad was a car nut, we had a new car every couple of weeks as dad would buy a wreck, do it up and sell it for a nice profit. we had vans, volvos, a porsche, triumph spitfire, an MGBGT...

dad was racing in the james hunt era, he actually raced him a couple of times. and mum once made graham hill a bacon sarnie at a campsite in Menton where my parents were staying when dad was racing in Monaco. We've got tons of memorabillia, all beautiffully displayed and I've got some brilliant black and white photos of my dad and his mini cooper. a guy was writing a history of racing in the late 60's / early 70s, came round to photograph some of the stuff.
