Job: Manager of 'Leighton Computer Services'  www.leightoncomputers.com

I've been a car fanatic for some time now. I had a Powertrack 4000 for christmas when I was 9.

 

However, I had caught the car bug by then and I wanted a new challenge. That's why I decided to try restoring a classic car, did that years ago. Prefer to just enjoy a good reliable V8 now!


I have a few other hobbies, too. I like walking and to go to the cinema (when we can!) and cycling.
