Out of Nowhere
Glad Ant West is making a comeback....
I had a heavy day on the Czech beer at Brno a few years back and went to a charity auction. Lot 5.... The Kawasaki racing pit shirt signed by Hopper and Ant West. I thought, I like Hopper, this has got my name on it.
Steve Parrish is the auctioneer. He says " Ok who will give £50 for the shirt " I then instantly say " I will give you a £150 "...Parrish says " anyone give me £160 ? " and I say " Yes "
Parrish says " Sold to the guy who outbid himself from £50 to £160 "
After buying the shirt, Hopper's and Westy's career seemed to take a nose dive......But I broke the shirt out at Laguna and things are looking up again for the pair of them.
Point to note. After outbid myself for the shirt, I then proceeded to wash it and the signatures disappeared
