When I was a child, I remember vividly watching the motor racing on my parents old black and white television.  Obviously I had obsolutely no idea of the colour of the cars racing, but then again, I did, in my minds eye I could see them all, they were the brightest red.  I would watch the great drivers of that day such as Graham Hill, Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart and my little boy heart would leap when Ferrari came in first.

I knew from a very early age that when I gew up I too wanted to become a racing driver, I would meet all these famous and most wonderful drivers, they were my idols.  One day too I would race with them.

As soon as the racing finished on television I would prepare for my own race, I would immediately rush to the cupboard where my toy box was kept and take out my model racing cars.  These cars I absolutely treasured, despite their sometimes rather poor state.  They came in all sizes, all colours and were made of tinplate, diecast and even in plastic.  However, whatever their size or colour to me they were all Red Ferraris and they would all compete against each other in ‘my’ race.  Often the race would go off-road, over my bed, over my pillow and back down again.  I would later go to bed and read my car books and magazines and then during the night I would dream about racing a Ferrari.  Read more...
