HISTORIC BTCC VIDEOS

Van Morrison is from Belfast, and had his first gig where I took technology classes in my old school. Eddie Irvine's parents live about 15 miles away from my house, and Fangio raced at Dundrod once, which is about 30 miles away. I met Jos Verstappen in Belfast once, as well as Eddie Irvine, Jarno Trulli, John Watson and Eddie Jordan.

And it smells funny. :P

Seaten your Belfasts please?

I USED to live near Mark Webber, and i've driven his go-kart which started his carrer, oh now i live in a city called Wollongong (100km or 60miles south of Sydney) in a country called Australia and for any australians here:

*We have the best beaches in the World (voted 2 times already)
*We have the largest Buddest temple in teh southern hemisphere
*The Ford BA Falcon ads were filmed in wollongong
*We have won the: National soccer leauge, National Basketball leauge, and Brett and shane Lee (cricketers) come from wollongong.
*Wollongong has the largest Steelworks in teh southern hemisphere and the only one in australia.

im proud of this:

*We are the most multicutral Place in the world, we have 156 nationalities living in wollongong.

Also:
*The Beaches that they filmed BAYWATCH on, the sand was actully shipped from wollongong on a huge tanker about 10 years back.
*The symbol for Wollongong - and indeed the Illawarra - is the Illawarra flame tree. This completely inoffensive plant life is a tree and only found in the wollongong area, and is distinct by the flame-red leaves that grow on it.
*Former motor cycle racing champion Wayne Gardner also hails from Wollongong.
*Corrimal (suburb in wollongong) is where AC/DC played their first gig.
