Ken Richardson, a WaffleCat profile

Post by Ataxia »

Ladies and gents,

Thanks to the sterling work of WaffleCat, we have a brand new driver profile on Ken Richardson! It's great to have a new contributor on board, especially after his epic Reddit posts, and hopefully we'll see more from him!

Check it out here: https://gprejects.com/centrale/drivers/ken-richardson

Thanks!

Richardson complied, and the power was something to be believed. As evidenced in this film, Richardson and his Triumph trashed the speed record for cars under 2000cc with a mind blowing 124.88 mph in speed trim.

Said arrow-straight stretch of highway is one I know very well from my many excursions onto the continent - all the way past Bruges and Gent it goes without so much as the slightest bend before Aalst ruins everything. At least in 1953 there was no such thing as speed cameras to trouble Ken The Mechanic!

Just want to say thanks to everyone that helped get this up here, especially Ataxia.

I hope the rest of y'all enjoy this piece, had lots and lots of fun writing and editing this all together, I'll see if I can do a few more things for this site in the near future.
My friend's USB drive spoiled, spilled tea on her laptop and had a bird poo in her hand.

What did she do in her past life to deserve this?
