Hello from Belfast Northern Ireland
I am a third generation petrolhead and adrenaline junkie.
My Grandad competed in the MAGILLIGAN SPEED TRIALS ON MAGILLIGAN BEACH and had a horrific accident which resulted in an amputation of his leg.
This didn`t put my Dad off motorsport and he went to to become one of Ireland leading RALLY DRIVERS and a Large Saloon AUTOTEST CHAMPION FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS. KEN SHIELDS -
He was 2nd in A PORSCHE 911 RS LIGHTWEIGHT in the Galway Internatiounal behind BILLY COLEMAN in the STRATOS
I Competed in the ex- PENTII ARIKALLA VAUXHALL CHEVETTE that Pentii Arikalla won the Circuit of IRELAND IN 1979. Andy Johnson was the Driver and with Andy and his Dad I have competed in Vintage Navigation Rallies in very rare Bugattis , ALFA MONZA 8C , EX NUVOULARI ALFA 8C and other cars.
