Disaster Struck for the Pink Panther! - Aug 08
My Porsche, 'The Pink Panther' came to a sudden halt against another 911 SC which spun in my path during the first lap of the Castle Combe Bank Holiday Monday race in August. After huge amounts of ringing around, we managed to borrow another 911 SC to finish off the last 4 rounds of the championship. The new Porsche 3.0 SC needed a bit of sprucing up so with the help of sponsors Adrian Flux we wrapped her in a rather unique pink fur coat! Just right for protecting me against my door bashing competitors!
Mille Miglia May 2008
I have just got back from joining celebrity chef James Martin on his lifetime ambitionto drive his Maserati A6 GCS 'Monofaro' on the famous 1000mile italian race the Mille Miglia. My role was co-driver, navigator & spanner "an amazing experience, one I will never forget." We can't tell you what happened suffice to say you'll have to wait for the BBC documentary on it, due out at Christmas 2008.
