Spring has finally sprung and I recently delivered a full ‘First 100 Machines’ talk to the good people of Bourne Motor Racing Club in Lincolnshire. I enjoyed the occasion very much and am keen to give most presentations in the future. For information and feedback please visit the Live Talks page.

It was good to see all of you who attended Dimension Jump 2011 in Birmingham. Understandably much of the discussion centred around Red Dwarf Series X, which seems increasingly likely to happen..

The aim of both this site and the Classic Machines website is to put up some soundbites and videos but in the meantime, if you want to see a TV presenter struggling a bit, you can watch the Britain’s Greatest Machines outakes video now.  In the gallery take a trip down memory lane and see some frankly appalling publicity shots of my good self from way back in the early and mid-eighties.

I shall be attempting to stay on top of replying to the webmail, I haven’t always been entirely successful in this field but, believe me, this time will be different…

Happy browsing….”
