The Good, The Bad, and......ME!

We all had a day out with the racer today....


"The Good".....(The Legend) Emily

"The Bad"....... James Gould

"The Ugly"....... ME!.....


We went to Llandow, and met up with the ever friendly John,

and his new companion "Alfie" who's 11 weeks old and very nibbley!

(They are a nice crew at Llandow and John always makes us welcome.)


The Jedi ran well, after we'd sorted last times misfires/problems, and

despite my agonising back, I managed a few laps, and reminded myself

how much fun it was!


Emily was on hand to warm up the car, check tyres, steering, and be

(An excellent) pit girl ! She declined a go, as reaching controls was an

issue for safety, so modifications required for her! She was a great help

and got the hang of the technical requirements quickly.(Me thinks her

curiousity and "gung ho" attitude will lead to a go soon?!)


James had a good blast, and renewed his enthusiam for Single Seaters?

(He also had a considerable laugh at my expense, and I crouched to help

him with harnesses, my aged overalls decided it was time my goolies had

an airing so retracted thier coverage! RRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPP!!)      :-O


Dad, and Andy Blackman also came along, but took the view that a chat in

the sun while the boys played, was much more relaxing!!


Top day had by all!!

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....

 

Matt.
