Tough but someone has to do it....

Ahh.. there was a thread on PH resurrected about this very same topic the other day. No-one was quite sure what had happened still even after all this time, but thanks for confirming Andy.

Jim - he was a very long serving and highly respected test driver for Toyota / Lexus - the heart attack he had was massive and resulted in instant death, don't know what happened to the occupants of the BMW 3 series that he collided with, that was a test car that was on its way to the Ring.

 

13th / 14th Jan - two days with the car then a month to write the material and a day to deliver it all to owners collectingtheir cars. Should be some interesting stuff to write about including how to prepare your car for the track - surely someone buying a £340k car will have someone that does that kind of thing for them

 

Also been confirmed as the product writer for the new GS model due out in 2012, will start having access to development cars in mid 2011 :D

 

I'm lucky to have a sideline that pays OK and is hugely enjoyable
