Mixing business and pleasure can be a tricky task, some people would frown upon it whilst others would encourage it, all I can say is that from my point of view it has worked out very well. Those who read this blog or follow me on twitter may realise that I have an interest in [...]

Polystyrene my Ride

November 21, 2009 – 9:48 pm

Off the beaten track, to winning on the Racetrack.

April 27, 2009 – 11:10 pm
