Started in 1992 with a Tamiya Terra Scorcher at South Shields model car club, with a Joel Magic Johnson stock motor and tamiya 1200s.
I then went to a Lazer ZXR mk2 and experienced my first ever modified motor – scary stuff at the time as I couldn’t get used to it just keeping accelerating, a CAT EC sport and XX4, (all raced on slippy school hall floors) at South Shields and Durham (Belmont).
I stopped racing in 1999 when I went to uni, returned to touring car racing with a Yokomo then an Axis 2 (which is still my favoured TC) in 2003 / 4.
Got back into buggy properly in 2005 (first proper regional series) with my B4 which was used for bashing before this. In 2006 I wanted to do 4WD and 2WD, and started with my old CAT EC and B4, then a Lazer ZX-5, then an X factory X-5, all in 2006. Got my F3 license, and went to the regional finals.
Just had my first regional of 2007 where I made my first A final in the NE regionals with my old B4. And after all my 4WDs in 2006, Im back to a CAT 2000 EC for 2007.
