Terry Johns
Born in Toronto in January 1953 by English parents; my Dad had moved to Canada to work as part of the design team on the AVRO Arrow.
Moved back to UK when I was 4. Grew up in a Racing family, Grand Father, Uncles, Father all raced or Rallied. All total Petrol-heads! what chance did I have….?
Disaster at school, couldn’t be bothered all that paper work. Figured out at 12 if you could buy it for £1.00 and sell it to £2.00 you’d be OK. Had one job in my life till I was 21 and then started buying and selling anything I could get my hands on.
Started Racing Karts at 9, Trials at 14 and Rallying at 18 which I did till I was 40. Rally cars included a Ford Anglia, 1310cc Cooper S, Escort RS2000, X Tony Pond Group 2 Sunbeam Lotus and finally Group A Lancia Integrale EVO. Track day instructor at 3 of the UK tracks, Got Paraglider license 6 years ago, several hard crash landings taught me that I did better in a car. Spend much of my life sailing Dinghies, love walking in the countryside, swimming and a daily Sauna and LOTS of Red wine.
Moved to Red Deer, Alberta in 2005, became involved with Super7 Cars on Vancouver Island, and have since started www.7cars.ca as a hobby business. Semi-retired.
Married for 30 years to a wonderful person who I adore. Two kids. Son (125cc Kart Racer) lives hear in Canada, daughter lives in Italy.
Spend winters in GOA, India, off next week till the end of March.
Boy that was a mouthful, time for another glass of that Red Wine!
Happy Christmas all you 7 nutters
