About Me



Artist/Song of the Moment: Breaking Benjamin - Until The End

___________________________________________________________

Hey people. I'm Martin.

I'm a big motorsports fan, love engines, and anything with an engine.
Love munching Jaffa Cakes and of course the god-send which is Dr. Pepper. Rockstar also, um, rocks!

As for the alcoholic side of me, Jager or Jack Daniels are my drink of choice! Though Kopparberg (Pear, obviously!) is also a favourite.

My Interests


Studying: I'm at Caledonian University studying Internet Software Development! In my 3rd year.

I Love: My penguin Marie so much :) xxxxx

My Hobbies: RC Nitro car racing is my main long-term hobby. I used to race in a club (CSOR) though have had to put that on hold for now because of lack of free time and funds! I also do karting/off-road quad-biking, and build/upgrade computers.

In my free time: In my free time i'm likely to be either: playing guitar, making short videos, playing games on my PC/360, drinking Dr. Pepper or Rockstar, fiddling with guns, or playing music at a tinnitus-inducing level...

Motorsport: is my main sport interest (NASCAR, WRC, Rallycross).

Music: A major interest. Can pretty much listen to anything (appart from Dance, Rap, Hip Hop, and R'n'B stuff :P) The bands I listen to are listed in my Music section.

Instruments: I'm a self-taught guitarist. Been playing for around 5 years. Started off on Drums when I was 5, though the sounds of guitars quickly changed that. (Not to mention that drums also have a tendancy to piss off neighbours!)

Gaming: I'm a bit of a gamer. I mainly play FPS (First Person Shooters) or Simulators (Motorsport, Flight, Train), though I still play others like Guitar Hero on the 360.

Other Interests: I'm also very interested in World War 2 and Guns, aswell as with aviation. Love flying and anything to do with flying! Planes, Trains and Automobiles is where it's at :)

I'd like to meet:

Everyone in my heroes section...
