Anyway, I got into motorsport when I was about 4, because I had a Ford Escort Toy Car sponsored by martini and while I was flicking through channels to find my kiddies Programmes, I stumbled upon the ITC and at that exact moment there was a Martini Alfa Romeo on the screen, I stared at it then looked at the car in my hand, then I jumped up and shouted, Its the same! its the same! hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! weeeeee.... etc,etc.

I started to whatch F1 round about 1996/7 when I lived in Galway I remember whatching it one day, I cant remember which GP, but I guess it was the Argentinian GP. I moved back to scotland in 98, and I cant remember anything from that year. I remember during the 99 Monaco GP, getting out my toy F1 cars, taking out the video cases and recreating the Monaco circuit, complete with a tunnel! The Living room was a mess when the grand prix finnished!

I discovered the BTCC and MotoGP and Le Mans and the WRC and Rallycross in 2000.

During 2001 I was right into F1 as a Micheal Schumacher fan but that would be the last year where I was his fan. In 2002, I taped NASCAR races and IRL and other motorsports on Channels 4 and 5 because F1 was so boring. In 2003 F1 was at its best and it was up untill that year that I had taped every GP since Monza 1999, I gradualy stopped taping races through 2004.

In 2005 I whatched any Motorsport that was on, but after getting Motors TV, That stopped because I discovered that I could not sit through Tractor Pulling, or anything like that.

I have a wide collection of over 60 model cars, busses and trams as well as an Autograph book with signitures from Alister Mcrae, Alan McNish, Andy Priaulx, David Leslie and loads more!

I love designing tracks, and car liveries as well

I have over 40 racing games for my PS2!!!

I usually go to Knockhill every year for the BTCC but this year I cant make it because of the great Scottish Run on the same day! But I love my running, and when you finninsh that final sprint, you feel great!
can I add on a bit?

I am one of the younger ten-tenthers so I go to school..... I dont like maths, well everyone does'nt anyway. I love going out on my bike and finding spots for big air, My favourite spot is in the park I live near, it is a very steep downhill bit and at the bottom, there is a big hump and a grass bank, I always go for the big hump! I can get atleast a meter high and on the bank about 75 cm!
