OverviewI was born with the smell of methanol flowing through my veins. My life-long passion for motor sport A true labour of love by petrolhead craig lock Imagine by John Lennon Click on http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRhq-yO1KN8 You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope that one day you'll join us... and the world exists as ONE! * DEDICATION Dedicated to my dear sons Gareth and Sean who don't quite share my passion, nay obsession for/with motor racing and especially, Formula 1. After reading this little e-book, perhaps that lack of interest may one day change. For all the time I watched races instead of playing with you guys Watching children grow is like threatening the ivy to climb the garden wall. You wait for it to happen you hurry it along with love. But still you're disappointed at giving someone life enough to walk off on their own and not be carried in your arms. You never turn back - not once, and yet one day they've grown apart or taller It's all the same. Polly put the kettle on, we'll all have tea. Giving love to children has made us older overnight. -Rod McKune Also to all the great drivers I've seen over the past 50 years or so, both at the track, but far more on TV.

Only when you've been in the deepest valley can a person know what it's like to stand on the highest peak. - inspiring words from Richard Nixon, former United States President Success is doing the best you can, in as many ways as you can. It is being just and honest and true - not in a few things, but in everything you do. Always look ahead and never look back, believe you can make all your dreams come true. Always believe in the best you can be and have faith in the things that you do. Forget about the mistakes you've made yesterday, the lessons you learn will prove valuable for today...

There is no limit to the goals you can attain, or the success you can achieve... your possibilities are as endless as your dreams. Whatever it is that you seek in life, whatever your dreams and what you hope to achieve, whatever you try to reach - whatever you plan... can all be yours - if you only believe you can! - Larry S. Chengges Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. - Langston Hughes PPS: For dearest dad and 'pal', another 'champion' - see the dream never died... it's just taken another course! Sometimes you have to give up the life you had planned... in order to live the life you were meant to live. Aim at the stars, because you might even reach them. Together, one mind, one life at a time, let's see how many people we can impact, encourage, empower, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials...and so become 'ever more champions of life'.
