About Me:
Hello! I've been an F1 fan since I was about 9 or 10 and absolutely love the sport. It's easily something I could never give up despite all the stupid rule changes and much annoyances the politics can create at times. I'm quite a shy person at times so it's a bit surprising to enjoy doing things like the sidepodpanel as much as I have done so far but you can't help it when its brilliant fun! I've always been a big Barrichello fan and seeing him stay in the sport by the grasp of his fingers just as Brawn GP seem to have a really good car behind them was a huge relief both to see him (and Jenson whom I'm also a huge fan of) stay in the sport much like they deserve. concerning Sidepodcast I appeared briefly when the podcasts first started up or near the start but kind of drifted away for a bit without taking much notice into commenting but listening to the odd podcats throughout 2008, however since the end of last year thanks to the persuasion of Lou, of which I'm extremely grateful for getting me back into things, I'm now completely 110% into the world of sidepodcast. I tend to do a lot of photoshop related antics within Sidepodland, my biggest SPC-related project being the SidePodCar you can find at the bottom of this page.

Away from the world of Formula 1 I'm a 20 year old student studying computing at the Univversity of Wales Newport. It's not the most relaxing of coruses and causes much stress but it has to be done of course. I'm also a stupidly big fan of the band Muse and a fan of other sports such as football and rugby away from F1. I've also met postman pat not that I want to make anyone jealous about meeting such a legend!

Also, if you're wondering, it's usually pronounced Lukey. But Luke is fine, everyone seems to call me Lukeh/Lukey now so I prefer it like that I think! I'm also available on various other forms of internet media that you can find at the footer of this page.
