I wonder how many of us do the same thing? Are we more wedded to our car than we are to other elements of our reality? Perhaps that's why car makers are getting so adept at furnishing them to our personal tastes.

Just a thought ...


Well, I can't really say that I'm a psycho, but I do spend the majority of 8.30 to 5pm in the car. And yet, after doing it now for 2 and a bit years, I'm still throughly in love with driving. Stopping at home for some sleep at night time, otherwise, if I could, I'd drive all night. Hence REALLY loving the overnight drive to Le Mans this year.

An entire life spent in Trev?



I could think of worse places.

It's a bit cramped though and there wouldn't be enough storage space for all my shoes!

Weird car that was, BMW on the outside, Renault on the inside! I thought John Dokic drove an F1 anyway?

The trouble is, maintaining the deceipt was much harder work than doing the real thing.

But again, maintaining the deceipt became the driving force (in more ways than one) of his life.

IIRC, he didn't kill his family to stop his secret getting found out, he killed his family because he beleived that death for them would be better than finding out their husband/dad/son's true secret. i.e. better to die than die of a broken heart (at least that was the logic in his head!).

I watched it, and was very interested by the program. A shame it came to such a tragic end.
