Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
I certainly was a "Fast Lane" and you are "It" once more; well done

Just to remind us of this great hillclimber, classic rallyist, sporting trials driver, car preparer and cyclist (The only times I beat Roy were at Prescott on a bike) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggh-USMeKYg. Here was a driver who rarely got it wrong and even more rarely in a big way; he seemed to be able to control spins and avoid doing any damage. There were some, who could go faster at times (Rarely in the wet), but they were usually nearer the ragged edge.

Would you be a motor racing person (With a surname "S" you could even be Senna or Stewart).

No Martin, I'm not connected to motorsport at all if that helps.
Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
are you female?
Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
I know you'd like me to be Rich, but no, I'm afraid I'm not.
Thinking back to my answer to Martins question, whilst I'm not connected to motorsport you may find the item that is my claim to fame there, but also in many other places.

All guesses welcome of course.
I'm not though, I am however an inventive person.
