Hi There is so much hype about fragrancies in cars. I came up with this idea in 1996 I demonstrated it in 1997 on the Big Breakfast show with Johnny Vaughn and Denise Van Outen. No body contacted me they wanted the idea.
A year late Halfords used my idea with Apple Fragrance they said it was there idea. On the show we came up with fragrance names like Caross, Pakeravan . And for the women EstaLada all this was filmed.My Family was Family of the week.
We had lots to offer I am an inventor I offered £1000 to any body that could fit an Electrical back box faster than me I fitted my invention in 2 seconds the double box takes 6 seconds 100 times faster than a square box can be fitted My 2 Daughters were picked for the Carnival the eldest Carnival Queen the youngest Carnival Princess. The same Year which was rare. My son proposed to his now wife on the show

I was involved with the gun from the beginning with a single barrel to 2 of them welded together to get the range that Bull was after it was fired in a horizontal after 1967 to test material strength for the u s army..Iam planning a vacation doun there for 2 wks. I was responsible for bore sighting the barrel ,as well as strain gauges and velocity probes.My father was responsible for the high speed photography. His name was Walter Clark and this is his son Allan Clark.

My dad was with the 1st Marine Division at Chosin Reservoir when these events took place. He often spoke of the Corsairs diving in and saving his ass when his outfit was overrun many times. It was his favorite plane till the day he died.
Sadly his younger brother was killed in his unit and never was returned home even till today. This movie means something special to me and my family.
