I met someone I admire today. A guy who runs a tuning shop in my town, he's built NZ's fastest 4 cylinder (a 9.5 sec Evo III) as well as Australasias fastest Lancer GSR (around 11 seconds, street driven). He came to my work to discuss business, although I only said a few words to him I thought it was kinda cool, I hold him in very high regard. Oh, his name is Andre Simon, he's a legend in the NZ drag racing scene.
Anyway, I'm not trying to sound like a groupie, because that's not what I am. I just have a great deal of respect for this guy and thought it was cool that I met someone I've heard a lot about and whose work I have an insane amount of respect for.
Who else has met someone they really admire? Who was it and why do you admire them? Oh, and where/how did you meet them?
