Local Kingstanding resident Ken Hardman will not be the new councillor for Moseley but his dreams of world fame are still alive. After the news that Marilyn from Home and Away lookalike David Coulthard may not be able to race in the forthcoming Spanish Grand Prix, Ken was the obvious choice. His recent revelation that he can drive from his home in Kingstanding to Moseley in eleven minutes make him an obvious successor to the Formula 1 throne.
He recently told us “I live to drive, the road is my mistress”. Whether he can translate his unique driving skills from the busy roads of North Birmingham to the frightening bends of Circuit de Catalunya is a moot point. When asked for his comments Ron Dennis the owner of the McLaren racing team said “11 minutes you say? He’s either bullshitting or he’s got a Batmobile”.
We at Eye on Moseley would like to wish Ken the best of luck with his new endeavour.
