Thanks for that Mike, I've just signed up to them a couple weeks ago haha going seeing them on the Britcar stand at the Auto Show & PH Performance Car Show at NEC next weekend.
I know one of the drivers on their team, Jimmy Gillborn, he's the one who got me interested but I know a few other lads who have gone through them and got vocational work at places like Porsche restoration garages etc. I'm going to Uni tho so wont need vocational work and will just be hoping to get driving, even if it's only the practices where they'll sort me out with track days basically :)
I don't find it distasteful, don't worry about that! I'm one of those usual kind of squaddies who always jokes about with it all like putting my prosthetic leg on back to front and answering the door to the kids at halloween. I even have had to use it as protection from time to time when being attacked, I just take it off, swing it over my shoulder n advise them not to step any closer, it usually does the trick... possibly because they haven't a clue what has just happened haha
I'm pretty much at the end of my recovery, got really far, even completed The Great North Run, 27.5km Triathlon & The Great Manchester 10km Run in 2011 but I've had a lot of set backs recently and struggle a lot at the moment but it's only a speedbump, wont be long and I'll be back doing my charity stuff. Well saying that I'm doing one in March, an expedition to Norway which will be on ITV sometime further on in the year but we'll see how I get on with that... following the tracks of the special forces back in WW2 which some of you may have heard of (The Heroes of Telemark).
Sorry for hijacking the thread too!
