About Me

Hey, I’m Rich, I’ve just turned 25...which is a tragedy.
I'm in to photography, running & cars. Anything fast & slightly hot-rod styled always goes down well, and obviously the ol' v-dubs.
In April I ran the London marathon, which was amazing – not amazing that I ran it, but amazing how it felt. Check my blog ^ for the full low down.
Just finished building a ’67 bug. I must be mad, because I did stupid things like polishing the seatbelt brackets, chroming the heater leavers, 2 packing the inside of the bumpers & chroming the back of the radio – I think that concludes I am mad. I’ve taken it to 3 shows and won 4 trophies, including one at a hot rod meet.
I'm always off travelling somewhere, this year I'm of to California, as well as Belgum, and someplace else for a stag do – but I’m sworn to secrecy as to where!
I can usually be found:
Behind the camera
In the pub
Driving on the A1M
At a VW festival
Running
In the garage
Having an argument with someone
Infamous for dressing as a policeman, and asking a couple in the pub for ID, they looked like they were on a date, hehe.
Check out www.londondesigns.net to see some photos I've taken.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
