I am indeed George Eastman. Founder of the Eastman Kodak Company, responsible for bringing cameras in to 4 out of 5 homes until the useless idiots that followed me decided not to invest in digital technology.

It does indeed, John has been preoccupied with cars that are plastic / orange / strange (or all three).

OK then, I'm F but many people know me better as C. Alive, non-British, no connection with motorsports, not an engineer, aviator or regular in the local Iceland/Farmfudds/Netto etc.
