My dad is probably the reason I am a petrol head, he owned a Healey Silverstone which he raced at weekend all over the country and dragged me along with him. He set up a company in the 80s doing what he loved, restoring classic British cars so I got to play around in all kind of nice cars as a kid. His only regret was selling an XK140 for a couple of hundred quid in the 60s, however he only paid £50 for it so it wasn't all bad!
