Bladders....................

Is that the Bay City Rollers one, where the girls where trying to throw themselves in the lake - If so I was there - abiding memory of PJ Balls trying to stop them getting across the bridge - grabbing one with his right hand, another with his left and stopping the third by using his chest/belly - at least she had a soft landing!

Receiving a hug from Chloe Mason many years ago at Silverstone

Trying to calm Klaus Ludwig down at the old hairpin....... he could swear better than I could !

In no particular order:

Being driven around the perimeter track at Rockingham (just the other side of the debris fence) in a minibus, being overtaken on the left by Champ(Indy)Cars at godknowswhat speeds on the track proper - just feet away.

Any race involving Group C's - whether contemporary or now as historic.

Night Fire Patrol at Silverstone GP weekends - even after we got banned from driving through the F1 paddock - great fun as it was during the height of Mansell Mania so the campsites were .. interesting ..!

Meeting so very many wonderful people - marshals, drivers, etc - and then meeting them again anywhere in the world and you recognise each other and it proves what a small world we live in!

Having the privilege to know Mike Kelly!

First incident; first day(90-91ish), post 12, Cadwell. loud incident noise above us at post 5, turned round to find the marshals jumping down the bank and the offside wheels of a car running along top of armco!! when we got up the bank, there were 7 or 8 Wirth Multisports in varying states of disrepair scattered along Park Straight, come end of meeting, turned out 5 of them were from same team!

Most memorable; Harewood Speed Hillclimb 2008/9 700BHP Evo driven by Harewood Champion Karl Jackson passing us at Quarry at a rather rapid rate (reckoned to be about 80ish)on damp grass and dissapearing through the fence and into the trees 40ft or so, when I got there the view was, Hawthorn bush with Lancer rear end sticking out, forced my way along passenger side to find him removing his helmet, he dropped window and asked if he could get out, my response was yes, so he fired it up, did a 3 point turn within the trees and exited through the hole in the fence he'd made on way in!!!, only things broken were number plate, lower edge of front bumper and a sill cover, still amazed it wasn't wrapped round a tree and still look at the gap he made and think he was a lucky lad!!
