This is very sad news for us.

Around 12 years ago, when we were churning out driver profiles at warp speed compared to today, but in a much more amateurish manner, Jonathan Williams was one of the drivers whom we not only came in contact with, but who generously gave us his time, as well as anecdotes and material which allowed us to prepare a profile and an interview which we can still be proud of today:

A true gentleman in every sense of the word.

RIP Jonathan, and thank you.

Does listening to a dog licking its balls get you excited?

That's between me and my internet service provider.

One of those journalist types.
