One for F1 and Moto GP anoraks
#1
Went to demo some machinery to a man called Robert Dunlop, Not 'the Robert Dunlop, he's dead, but a relation which got us talking. Some of you may know that one of the many pies that I used to have my fingers in was the design of race graphics for cars and bikes... Robert Dunlop's Crossan race bike being on them.

Anyway Robert runs a company called Final Lap http://www.finallap.net/Default.aspx

This place is a museum of F1 and motorsport. I spent over an hour talking to him and riffling through bits on a job that should have taken 10 minutes.

By far the biggest collection of this sort of memorabilia I've ever seen.  :eek
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Post edited as the part is missing for legal reasons.

Hope Frank likes his new hospitality suite.
