Now I know what all the "filming with the BBC" business that you mentioned was about 
Good luck Andy as others have said you came across very well and if nothing else what a load of publicity!

Well done Andy.
When I left the fire service in 1995 I decided to turn my hobby into my business. I had already built some racing cars so for my seventh design I came
up with this.
The idea was to put it into production and my "Peter Jones" brought lots to the company. Sadly I could not be bothered with the hassle of
business and decided to stop after a few years . I returned to a hassle free life "playing" cars and I am lucky that my benefactor is
still on board and we have a collection of cars that I have built.
My last build, a Pinto powered Sports 2000 that I raced last year, is still based on my 1995 design and did enough to see the rules being re-written
for 2012 to get rid of it.
Good luck for the future and remember, stay honest and have fun.

LOL, Andy's the legend in these parts but thanks Tim 
Not long after I sold my car about 2.5 years back my forum password stopped working (I think due to a database hiccup/change?), and because I'd
deleted my e-mail address from my profile to stop the mail harvesters, I couldnt reset it using the automated system. A couple of emails to Chris at
the time didn't get a reply and never got round to chasing it up again. When Andy was on Dragons Den I suspected there would be a thread on here
so it jolted me into action to email Chris again and now all sorted, so you might see me on here occasionally once again, sadly without a car but
still a few bits in the garage I might dig out and sell.
cheers
Chris

came across well.
i thought you came across very well. You also looked like you were cacking yourself.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
