Blib: He won the National FF1600 Championship, Northern Championship, Triple Crown Series, Class B championship for older cars and 3rd at the Formula Ford festival. In a 22 year old Van Dieman up against brand new cars.


FT: And yep, we are from MK!

I am the proud owner of Jean Pierre Jarier's armband pitpass from Italian GP and the tax disc holder from Hannu Mikkola's Escort when he crashed in Dalby - and gave the bend its name .

I used to have the fablon door panel with competition number from Graham Hills Mini that retired on a hairpin bend in Grizedale lots of years ago. I was about 12 years old. I also had the audacity to ask him for an autograph, which he kindly gave me.

My mum threw them out of my bedroom a few years later as they looked untidy...

Thanks mum! (She was forever binning stuff that looked like rubbish to her, but important to me, lol.

(Like my extensive stamp collection that must have been worth at least £1.50.)

Bit of an update to my OP with the mirror.

I work in roadside assistance, was called out to a van last night, got chatting with the driver and it turns out he was the guy on Stobart, Trucks and Trailers who does the vinyl wraps. He also does some work for M-Sport. And Paul Bird. The company he works for is AST which happens to be the logo on my mirror and it was probably this chap who applied it!

Small world huh?!
