Met him at MINI 50 at Silverstone in 2009 in the WC50 launch tent, a legend and a gentleman.
This was the same weekend that Malcolm decided to order the WC50 & the legendary 193 was born. Malcolm also got Paddy to sign the MINI50 disc that we all got (he was a clever man) and it adorns 193 to this day.
