Derek Walker Classic Trial
Well, my normal chauffeur is currently on business somewhere in the USA and much to my delight I was asked to sit in with good friend Richard Nelson for the day. It was miserable, I mean really miserable, waking up at some ungodly hour to then travel 60 miles to an event featuring muddy lanes, wet marshals and horizontal rain. In usual style though none of the above were to put... Read More

The Real Man’s Autosolo…
Sorry for this being so late, I have been quiet for a while due to car prep for the CircuitRetro, work being absolutely chaotic at this time of year and of course attending events being held up and down the country. Well due to the lack of an entry on my part, I was invited to marshal at the Peak Performance Motor Club multi-venue auto-test. Anyway, I donned my branded pete-moore... Read More
