Have you ever been to the Slaughter house (Night club) in Malmo? Only recently i was reminiscing with a few of the "old" racers about a nightout we had there back in 2000 at the Euro's, it's still the best club i've ever been to - there were no less then 8 of us stood at a table all facing different directions trying to point out women to eachother as we were just blown away by what we saw

We talked about going back for years......

thats a really good question, I raced from about 12 - 17 and then found women and cars

from 17-23 I dont really know what I did for fun, just messed about with the big car and computers, went drinking and clubing

If it wasn't for racing I really would not have such good friends, and if I didn't race now I really dont know what I would do, I would go to more car shows with the real car, but I really enjoy racing and the social side

Taking a more serious answer to the thread.. i suppose i'd have job with long hours.. but i could also see me getting wasted most weekends if i didn't have racing to keep me occupied. Students eh :jimmeh

Raced till I was 17 then found night clubs and Women used to go all over the place to different clubs Cream Hard Times Wigan Pier Kinetic and the Empire in Morcombe. So I would probably be still doing that the oldest raver in the North West. Only just got back into racing in the last two years, once you have done it you always come back.

I'd probably be in search of the egyptian desert penguin,whilst selling sand to the natives!

Or, I'd probably be an artist...................oh sorry I already am!(anyone know of any jobs going for a graphic artist?)
I'd spend more time painting more pictures of formula one cars (my speciality) or taking photos of them.

Tried to be a racing driver but failed both times. first time through lack of money, second time I went on that 'so you want to be an F1 driver' program on sky tv. but unfortunately twisted my knee pushing a trolley in the supermarket THE NIGHT BEFORE! Duur. and it just happened that the first part of the program was the fitness test! I was fine untill i got to the squat thrusts. then my knee just 'went'................................bugger!

Jobs going at Team17 I think, though I guess its a little more specialised than just "graphic artist", however, anyone good enough can do anything.
Stick some of your piccies up in the 'graphy section mate, im sure people would like to have a look at your work.
Do you do that as a full time job?

I've got the F1 paintings I've done I could put those on, have to get some photos of em though. Kart loads of shell photos, or just take a look through RRCi I've got work in there every month and the yokomo review in racer I painted last month.

I do it as a full time job yes. I work in rotherham for a printing company, doing all the artwork for all the printing presses/machines most of it is simple stuff like designing logos, print layouts etc but sometimes (getting more often lately though) i do get a job that I can really sink my teeth into and spend some time on.
Its all on computer now but I used to have to use the good old dark room for development work, having to draw everything by hand and then camera it all........what a pain in the arse that was!

Now that photoshop is to hand now it makes it all a lot easier and quicker.
used to have my own website too that I created to showcase my shells on, but that closed recently due to my retirement from the shell painting.
