| Type of Motorsport | Racing and some classic rallies |
| First year of Competition | Last century (1981) |
| Why did you start? | To get my Citroen Light 15 on the road - I needed a goal |

| Over 100 races - couple of wins, class wins, etc | |
| ARDS Racing Instructor | |
| Best Race | Mallory Park 1984 - Royale RP27 (FF2000) in F.Libre. I came 3rd, got my lap time of over 100mph, won the ladies prize and won £100 for best prepared car. |
| Worst Race | Silverstone FF1600 in 1982. Bright sunlight at start of race turned to horrendous downpour. I knew I was going to get hit - and I was, by a bloke called Angel who flew over the top of me! |
| Favourite Circuit/Venue | Mallory Park and Thruxton |
| Types of cars competed/owned | Citroen Light 15 in Classic Saloons, Royale RP 26 FF1600, Royale RP 27 and 30 FF2000, Chevron B42 (Ex Keke Rosberg F2 car) in Libre, BMW 2002 Tii and Citroen 2CV (UK and Belgian championships) |
| Best car driven/owned | Royale RP27 FF2000. My Chevron B42 F Atlantic was lovely - just cost too much to run reliably. |
| Funny Stories | I've been called a gentleman several times! At Snetterton I was once "the odd man out on the grid" - because of whatever car I was driving, not my sex. |
| 2003 Championships and dates | Nothing as yet |
| Other Plans for 2003 | Getting back into Motor Racing as a participant - whether as designer, mechanic, driver.... |
