Life's about experiences. These are mine.
This is a cross post from my dedicated Williams fan site, The Williams Database. On the original post you can see a number of pictures from the day. By my reckoning I have been to the museum at Williams seven times and I never tire (should that be tyre😂) of going there. I was particularly …
It has been years since I have been to see the recording of a TV show and so when I was offered the chance to be in the audience of Tales from the Vault, a new F1 programme from Sky I was keen. The offer came from a friend who I had previously only ever …
There was a time a few years ago that every January I would religiously head off to the Birmingham NEC to got to the Autosports International show. There amongst the stands displaying the latest motorsport widgets was the Autosport magazine stand in which a tiny corner would be devoted to their cartoonist Jim Bamber. The …
Yesterday was the National Gardens’ Scheme annual open day when gardens all over the country are opened up with the proceeds going to charity.

Those that know me even moderately well will know that I am a huge WilliamsF1 fan and have been since my teens when the team was new and had yet to win their first world championship. And I have stuck with them through the fallow years, which have seemed interminable. But now we have a win …
I was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last Friday and it has to be one of the greatest motorsport events anywhere. It is the only event that I know of that allows fans such unprecedented access to the cars. As you can see from the pictures you can get within touching distance of the …
Yesterday I made my annual pilgrimage to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the weather was just perfect for it. I usually go on the Friday but this year I managed to blag a couple of free tickets for the Thursday “Moving Motor Show” which is an a great new take on the car shows …
