    Gene Simmons from KISS.

    Remember when I was in Kindergarten and all the kids were getting their faces painted as clowns and cats. I went Gene Simmons!

    The Hoff when he was in KnightRider
    The Duke boys out of Dukes of Hazzard
    The A-Team - Yes Mr T rocked.

    And pretty much any other 80's sitcom where there was cars/bikes/choppers etc were involved like the Fall Guy, Magnum PI, Airwolf and Miami Vice.

    My dad. Saved my life when I was about 4. Silly me thought I could swim in the deep end of the pool when we were on a holiday in Bali, jumped in and almost drowned. Luckily my dad was there to pull me out of the water... and he then immediately taught me how to swim in the deep water.
    My mum has also done a bloody great job... raised me on her own from when I was very young. She's struggled heaps, but always managed to give me everything I needed and do the very best she could for me. She got lucky buying a house in Oakleigh for $100,000 a little over 10 years ago which she recently sold for $500,000 along with her small take-away business and moved to the country. At the age of 40 she is retired, owns her own home, drives a very nice car ("04 Caprice) and has spare cash on the side for leisure. I'm very proud of her.

    Yerr.. I reckon my Dad by a long shot, He did an awesome job as a single parent... I doubt he could have done anything more than he has, I hope some day I can be half the man that he is.

    And as for someone 'famous' I'd say 'Goldberg' from the WCW Was a long time ago though

    I got busted in my room wrestling a 17year old girl ( that sounds wrong, but READ ON, ). I was only 7 or 8 at the time so I didn't know that wasnt the "proper" thing to do... But now that I look back on it.... that was freaking awesome, already pulling chicks at 7 or 8 yo lol all thanks to the wrestling I saw on tv ... shame my magic kinda wore off over the years haha

    But wait... There's more!!


    But that's not all!!!

    so that's what you youngsters call it now huh? well done... but I'm in the same boat, get 'em all before you know what to do with them, once you figure it out, no-one wants to play

    Aside from my parents it was Peter Brock, getting to do work experience at the Brock factory was one of the best experiences in my life...
