My first post, and why I’m bloggin…

My god, I’ve finally done it, I’ve finally signed up to a blog…  I guess I should explain myself.  A few weeks back I was told that the cancer I have been fighting for effectively almost 13 years is back again, and this time it’s terminal (that was a bit like a Rambo tagline…).  I’m not going into all the ins and outs but it is, and that’s that.  It wasn’t much of a shock to be honest, but it was hard to hear of course.  Anyway, so now I’m doing all those things I always wanted to do.  Also, my Grandad and Uncle have just been kind enough to give me some money, so I upgraded my Xbox 360 Premiun to an Elite, and also got myself a PS3, and I have a full HD 1080p Panasonic Plasma TV on its way.  On Friday the 13th (ha, me on friday the 13th, on a plane!  That’s gonna go well then…) I fly out for a 3 night stay in New York, on the 22nd I’m taking my Clio R27 to the French Car Show to be on the stand, then on the 23rd I’m setting off on a week long tour of the continent.  Starting with visiting The Nurburgring, then heading down to Monaco – on the way taking in all the roads on the Top Gear greatest driving roads episode, Davos to Stelvio, San Bernadino Pass, Col De Turini etc etc  

So that’s it, that’s why I’m doing this – because I think I will have a lot to talk about in the coming months
