Well for those that don't know me, unlike my old Arsonist instructor - Hello Sir ;-)
At 18 I joined the Fire Service, and pretty quickly specialized in dealing with traffic accidents, due to my interest in things with wheels. It didn't take long to work out that riding my motorbikes on the road the way I did, I would soon end up attending my own RTA. So I started racing, bikes first, then cars. I did all my own mechanicals due to budget and being hyper OCD. I did my bit for queen and country and lets just say, im not a fan of riding the London Underground for fun. After 17 years I left and started Backdraft Motorsport or BDM as we call it now...
Over the last 10 years we have gone a full circle. I started on my own and built things up doing lots of car tuning work. For 5 years we ran 2 Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 cars in Dutch Supercar, Britcar and Endurance. I started running some track day experiences in the Lamborghinis and built a training driver simulator. However, what works best, for all sorts of reasons is working mostly by myself, concentrating on high end cars doing servicing and repairs. My pitch is that the customers speak to me about what they want doing and then I go and do it. When i'm happy its done right, the customer is happy, I get paid and jobs done. I keep my workshop tidy to keep my OCD happy and I think my customers appreciate a clean surgery. We are well known for Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, X-Bows, Ariel Atoms and Audi R8's. We are starting to see a few Maclarens now and really want to push that side.
