About this Member

I live in a small village on the outskirts of Hampshire. I am a bit of a gadget man, and my interests are:
- Cars (mainly Ford)
- Football (Sheffield Utd)
- Audio/Visual (home cinema)
- Travlleing (UK mainly)

Oh and computers, but as this is my job, I try to forget all about it when I get home!

I am originally from Dudley, went to uni in Sheffield, did a placement year in Basildon, lived for 6 years in Watford, a year in Southampton, and have been living here since mid 2002! So I know a bit about the country!

I am a keen driver, and love nothing better than driving holidays - I have been to Scottish highlands countless times (drinking copious amounts of malt whiskey along the way!) and have driven the Irish coastline twice. As you will see from my reviews, my cars have lived and died by these holidays! Basically I love the British Isles, and would much prefer to zoom around our rural areas than go on a trip to the med!

My current house is in the process of many improvements, and I will hopefully share my experiences with you all!
