My nephew, the racing driver

Being their uncle, I felt compelled to share. My nephew wins the UK Formula Ford 1600 class of 2015 (as did his Dad many years before). My beautiful niece joined him for the awards. They're good kids and I often wonder how mine would have turned out, if I had had any

One of my best friends was a regular and successful Formula Ford competitor in the 1970s in the USA. Later he ran a factory Porsche on the European Gran Turismo circuit.

Your niece and nephew are good looking kids.

I have two, aged 45 and 46, both with successful professional careers. Sometimes I still wonder how they will turn out, though almost all of the time I am the typical proud Papa.

Congrats, Simon!

And very handsome and friendly looking people to boot.

Besides, you seem to have gone through a fountain of youth yourself too.
(To the contrary of me, who recently was justifiedly greeted with: "You have turned old!")

Ahh congrats! I would love to have been a racing driver! I just have to settle for the odd evening on the racing computer games

Three posts altogether.
We´ve just being saying in another thread, how people aren´t generous these days.
-Unless when about promoted celebrities, then even trash will be adored by the public of lemmings. A pity.
(Pardon me for `being negative´ in a positive thread, but this is how things appear to me since many years.)
