Whilst gardening today my two top end neighbours were out and we got talking, turns out that the old lady's husband was top brass at JPS (John player special cigarets) during the early Colin Chapman's lotus era and they always lunched and rubbed noses with them!

Then my other neighbour said (who is a motor sport mechanic for various LMP and other race series's) that's uncanny my mum who he still lives with was Colin Chapmans secretary!

 

Mark who is in his 40's also said he was Nigel Mansells head mechanic when he came back racing briefly after retiring.

 

He then gave me on of these...image.jpeg

 

An F1 un used front tyre.

 

How cool :)

Johnny that's very kind of you, however I think you can imagine what the missus said as I suggested using in the lounge as a table! :/

 

Yeah women can be funny sometimes. SWMBO wasn't keen on this on the door into our garage but its still there after a year so I may have got away with it. One of the Loti in there is hers after all!
