Default Wheels July'03 - World's Worst Driver (Mark Dapin)
I agree with the byline under the heading, 'some people were born to walk'. Wheels has featured Mark Dapin in another two or three more articles, if anyone is interested...

I'm assuming there is no interest in the other articles featuring Dapin?

p.s. do people prefer the whole image to be posted in the thread or clickable thumbnails like the article above?

Firstly, yes, the clickable thumbnails are an excellent plan.

Secondly, it's comforting to know there are worse drivers than my mother out there...

Re: clickable thumbnails, cool, I'll keep posting the articles like so.

I wasn't sure how the majority of you downloaded the articles. Whether you saved the whole internet page or downloaded the individual scans seperately. I also reckon this way it doesn't eat up the RAM , not a problem for those with current computers, but people with older machines will probably get alot of spinning beachballs (OS X users will understand) .

I'll post the other articles featuring him. One they send him across the Nullabor (a dirty big patch of sand that extends from one end of the country to the other in a fleet of Audis. He is on his L plates so can travel at a maxiumum speed of 80km/h. They send him to the V8 Supercar races in another article as a roving reporter, so to speak.

Heres the 3rd article on the esteemed Mr.Dapin.
They (Wheels Mag) send him out as a roving reporter to the Clipsal 500 (V8 Supercar race in Adelaide)

Good Stuff. He might be a terrible driver but he writes funny. That picture of the "Ford/Ford Sux"-couple is priceless!
