Chris
Age:
22
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 12 Stone
Mechanical Skills: Working restoring historic race-cars
for a year as well as studying an Mechanical Engineering for 4 years
has by no means prepared me for the understanding of mechanics of aging
Fiat Pandas.
Driving Experience: 5 Years of driving. Having already
owned a Vauxhall Nova, a Vauxhall Astra, a Peugeot 205, a Volkswagen
Polo, two rusty motorbikes, a go-kart, and two Fiat Pandas my driving
experience is varied but only in terms of bangers.
Crashes: 4. Rolled and wrote off the 205 on quite country
lane. Drove the Polo into a ford (4 foot deep rather than the usual
½). Slammed on the brakes on an icy day and slid into another
river in my dad’s Volvo. Finally a lorry drove over the front
of my car on my way to Silverstone (had to drive into the team’s
areas with side panels and bumper held together with rope!)
Convictions/Points: None
Currently Driving: Fiat Panda – yep the one that’s
going to Mongolia.
Language Skills: Limited to ordering a kilo of potatoes.
Special Skills: Balance a chair on my chin.
Goals for the trip: Get to Mongolia, have an amazing
time and raise as much cash for charity as I can in the process.
