Welcome to my Web site!  My name is Martin Evans.  I was born in Tredegar, South Wales on 31 May 1965.

 

Occupation

Cycle trader/mechanic. 
Hobbies (See also Interests Page). I am interested in many things but do not have time to pursue all my interests.  Therefore I have to prioritise and pursue those interests most important to me. 

I am interested in cars (esp. historic/racing), cycling, hill walking,  old railways, reading (Mostly factual - especially History, Cars), visiting historic sites such as castles.  I have visited the ruin of Adolf Hitler's Berghof in southern Bavaria which was an eerie experience. 

As a child I learnt to play the piano and later, to a lesser extent, the guitar.  With more time would revisit these as I still have both!  

I also do D.I.Y. as time permits though this is out of necessity rather than desire.  It can be difficult getting trades people to do things as I want them done!

Favourite food Roast beef & Yorkshire pudding though a nice steak and chips will fight hard for the title, not discounting a good salad!
Favourite movie There are many.  At random, The Searchers starring John Wayne.  I also enjoy the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films and some of the Alistair Maclean based films such as The Guns of Navarone.  Then there is The Italian Job or some other films starring Michael Cane, for example The Battle of Britain or Zulu.
Favourite book Again there are many.  Of particular value to me is my copy of "Morgan : First & Last of the Real Sports Cars" by Gregory Houston Bowden.  I always wanted a Morgan when I was growing up and this copy was signed by the late Peter Morgan during a visit to the factory in 1978.  The high costs of these cars drove me to M.G. though they are one of the few indulgences that a "Lottery win" sum of money might permit!  The length of time I have had this book plus the "History" attached to it makes it special.  I have many books and many favourites!
