I would have to describe myself as a lucky man. Not least because, despite a complete lack of planning, funding or ability, I’ve been able to blag drives in Polaris Buggies, Mini Super Two racers and now a Vauxhall Nova. A meager little Vauxhall Nova might not sound as exciting as a Polaris buggy but […]
