About time I joined in

I dabbled with the IAM hundreds of years ago, but life got in the way and I never made it past a few observed drives in my Hillman Super Minx
Fast forward and having spent rather more money than ever before on a car, and being paranoid about bending it (or someone else bending it that I should have seen coming ) I touched base with the East Surrey IAM. Lucky for me I met @skodatezzer and @jcochrane of this parish and a few drives later fluked a F1rst
They encouraged me not to leave it there, so being a dutiful student I decided to have a bash at the High Performance Course. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and managed to achieve the required standard, the most nerve racking part being driving the Course Managers 911 for a day. Been a long time since I drove a manual transmission
So, here I am, looking forward to getting involved both in terms of driving and continuing my education. I’ve been lurking around over the past few months and feel very much the novice
Oh, and a familiar face from a watch forum, hello @akirk - as well as cars I do like the odd timepiece
