英语PK台 第204期:英国顶级赛车教练专访(2)
英语课
I had a fantastic childhood in Kent - it was really good
I started off, my first ever car I had I paid ?5 for! It was an Austin A40
I used it to belt round the fields
You progressed, what became your cars, your sports cars?
I've had all sorts. I started off just 'mechanicing' myself
then cars on the roads - went from a Mini to a Hillman Imp 1, to a Ford 2 Capri and things like that
One of my favourite cars, I wish I still had now was a Datsun 240Z - it was very early technology - with a turbo charger which was a bit wild! it was a fun car
I went from a Mini and progressed up to an MG
a two-seater MG, top down, it was fabulous 3 for driving around the Highlands of Scotland
Oh, I can imagine it. I remember as a very young kid going as a passenger in an MG.
I thought it was the best car in the world
We have a large number of race circuits in the UK
Most circuits have their own racing 4 school associated with that circuit
The Motorsports Association felt that drivers to go racing should take some form of test and evaluation 5
and a bit of training as well before they went out onto the race circuit for the first time
When I first got my race licence back in 1985 all you needed to do was apply for the licence
you got it and you could go racing
I started off racing, reasonably successful, but as with all racing drivers money was the problem to go racing
Sadly I did not have rich parents!!
