Anyway a nano second before we lost control and spun through a fence and into a field I managed to get my seatbelt on.

I insisted with my brother that we used it on our camping trip to Wales ( I had visions of kicking up sand on Pendine!).

    Great to hear Harry's back story. Evo and Octane, the two top car magazines for car guys/ girls. Now I know how Evo started. Great interview. 👍
