Greetings from Bristol

Hi all,
I thought I'd introduce myself - I'm Mark and I live in Bristol. I passed my IAM Skill for Life about 18 months ago, which transformed my driving, although I haven't really stayed in touch with the local group. Prior to taking my test I came along to an ADUK day in Shepton Mallet which was a good experience and helped me understand that there are other schools of thought beyond the IAM (not that the IAM is bad, mind you). I can't promise my driving is still at test standard, but Skill for Life gave me an attitude of critiquing my own driving with a view to improving my anticipation and planning for potential hazards. Whether I can make any further driving days remains to be seen (not Banbury, unfortunately), however I thought I'd try to pop in here every so often to pick up some more tips and maybe ask the odd question or two.
I'm a staff member on an MR2 club / forum and as such I know that no introduction thread is complete without pictures. So below are a couple of shots of my turbocharged pride-and-joy; someone you may recognise it from Shepton Mallet. I've also got an E46 320D Touring as a daily hack / winter car, but that doesn't tend to get photographed
