Max was a great lad despite the problems that life had given him. I have the greatest respect for those like him who, with all their disadvantages, still manage to smile and enjoy life. Max used to love watching the powerboat racing at Oulton Broad and I used to love talking to him and answering his questions between races and to be told recently that I was his favourite driver makes me quite special. Rip Max, I'm going to miss our little chats.
