Hi Mazza! I’m the grumpy old Scotsman - a lot like Victor Meldrew. My field is/was industrial electronics which I enjoyed and it got me all over the globe. And yes, I like wheels.

Hi, both, spent a lot of my life in the motor trade, apprenticeship at a Lotus dealer, many years at BMW and a little of everything in between. Love Hillclimbs, sprints etc but definitely not F1.
Currently have a 1974 Ducati 350 single which I’ve rebuilt. Also love motorcycle roadracing
. I could go on !!!

Do go on! I had a car before I had a motorbike. It was a Matchless 350 fifty. Someone else discarded it on the farm. I refurbished it sufficiently so that I could tun around the farm and the fields with my dog.
