It was a pleasure to see this today. I've been wondering where you've gone, John.

Back in the day when you made some DVD videos of one of your sessions at the 'Ring, I actually bought several from you.

Good to see you're still around

Good to see you are still breathing too Grandpa!

Work has been a bit full on for the last decade or so, but still driving my Impreza.

I was driving at Silverstone last weekend in a really unusual competition that's been running for 65 years, where it allows you to compete against any car including pre-war vintage. They have a really complicated handicap system to equal out the cars.

Currently waiting on the results to be final but i did pretty well in the pouring rain, was fastest overall in 3 of the 5 tests, final test was a 40 minute blast round the GP circuit where i was fastest. That doesn't mean you win though as the handicap system needs factoring in.

I'll pop a video up maybe? I put together a 8x speeded up video as you'd be bored out of your brain watching me pound round for 40 minutes.

Would love to see more video from you. Thanks.

One of the friends that received one of your Ring videos was asking if you were still around when I saw him over the holidays. He'll be glad to hear you're alive and kicking.

Good stuff.

Here you go, a properly wet Silverstone.
