I got asked for my autograph a few times at Brands Hatch at the weekend, so two young lads now have "The Goose" signed in gold pen on some worn out slicks they got given (which their parents will probably make them throw out rolleyes ) and a middle-aged couple also had me sign their programme next to the picture of my car (didn't get a programme myself, I signed on too early and they didn't have them). It was a bit weird being asked, especially as I was beavering away under the car in a mechanic's boiler suit at the time, but I was flattered none-the-less.

I also pointed the young lads in the direction of the shy, retiring, "Happy" Henry and as you can imagine it was some reluctance he emerged from the sanctuary of his motorhome (where he'd been avoiding the usual Paparazzi no doubt) and allowed them to have a free-of-charge signature. Their pens had run out though - what a surprise Henry had another conveniently to hand (although he did say he usually uses a stamp wink ).

Great weekend of Porsche racing. A contingent from Titanic GT3 went to Brands to see Steve Rance and Robin Clark racing. Excellent end to the 2007 Porsche Open. Roll on 2008
