i had tea and buscuits in my house with reg holdsworth off
coronation street. he came to buy a caddilac off my dad
to use for personal appearances.he was right into american cars,
and wrote his last one off when he fell asleep on the m6 and went
down the embankment.he drove up from manchester in a little
yellow mini that overheated all the way up.i filled up his radiator for
him before he left again.
and yes, he was exactly as he was on the telly, a little dippy
to say the least.

My old mark 2 fiesta was in Kevin and Perry Go Large (the Harry Enfield film) it was filmed in my ex girlfriends parents home. Got to meet the crew and drink loads of beer (the scene was of a party but all the beer cans were empty.

I was also on some sports channels playing basketball (well missing a shot actually but I try not to remember that part!)

I had a pee next to Russell Brookes in the toilet at Brands Hatch in the early 80's. He is a little bloke (not tall, I was not looking). There was a celebrity support race to the GP which was on telly but my ex wife's new boyfriend taped over it. Some of the racing and car control was out of this world.
