EnglishJon

The first word I could say was "car". By 10 years old I was reading about F1, Rallying, Hot Rods, Drag Racing, Muscle Cars 'n' stuff. My grandfather had a repair shop, and was a Ford agent, (he didn't stock the cars but he could get them for you). My parents took me to F1, the Drags, Auto-cross, Circle-track etc.
I was born in Scotland, but grew up in England. My earliest influence was Custom Car magazine, until I discovered Hot Rod, and the work of Pat Ganahl in Rod & Custom uk. I moved to Long Island in '86. When I'm not working on hi-po transmissions you can find me at E-town, Lime Rock or any car show in the north-east, or a toy store expanding the die-cast collection.
