1. Finished playing rugby to pursue motorsport.

2. Decided to go bpu on the Supra after only 1.5 years of owning it being stock.

3. Got promotion at work.

4. Entered Clio Shcolorship motorsport competition. Reached the final 10 and was on TV :) (Although pipped to the post by the then world karting Champ :( ).

5. Entered into Silverstone racing school Formula Ford challenge and won. :)

6. The endless search for sponsors to continue my racing. And then realising that being able to race was more about having the money rather than the talent. Bitter? A little. ;)

But still continued to race when funds allowed. (Caterham, Formula Ford)

7. Spending a lot of time at the Nurburgring. Both doing many laps and then starting to give some instruction.

8. Broadening my horizons by doing some wider travelling and recently going to live in China for the best part of a year in 2008. Working for the F1 track in Shanghai. This being my highlight over anything mentioned so far.

9. Meeting my chinese girlfriend.

10. Finding out my Dad came close to death with diabetes. :( Got me to change my eating habits and to keep me going to the gym 3 to 5 times per week. Still feel as fit now as I was when I played rugby earlier in the decade.
