Joe Tandy
Joseph Tandy (1 January 1983 – 13 May 2009) was a British racing driver and team owner.
Career
Ministox
Tandy started his racing career unusually in short oval Ministox machinery in 1994. However by the end of 1998, Tandy had won 45 races, with 60 other podium placings as he became both British and World Ministox champion, as well as being a three-time East Anglian Ministox champion. He continued in this level of motorsport in 1999, winning another 28 races to become British champion for the second time.
Mini Sevens
After a year off in 2000, Tandy took up circuit racing by moving into the Mini Seven Challenge in 2001. He competed in four seasons in the championship, picking up ten podiums, including three wins, all coming in 2004. He also won the Walter Hayes Memorial Trophy towards the end of the season. He also forayed into the TVR Tuscan Challenge by the end of 2004.
Formula Palmer Audi
After finishing college and completing an engineering apprenticeship, Tandy began working as a technician for Jonathan Palmer's Palmersport corporate driving days concern. His engineering acumen elevated him to chief mechanic by the age of 22, while his racing career continued to go from strength to strength. This allowed him to test a Formula Palmer Audi car at Palmer's Bedford Autodrome, where he set a new lap record of 1:04.2 for the 1.8-mile West Circuit, breaking Justin Wilson's long established record from 1998. This gave him an incentive to sell his 70 bhp Mini and move up into the 350 bhp single-seaters.

J'attendais
by: Celine DionEt j'ecoutais longtemps couler l'eau des fontaines
Et j'ecoutais le vent chanter infiniment
Vagues de quietude et de paix
D'aussi loin que je me souvienne
L'enfance est un immense ocean
And I was listening a long time fountain's water pour
And I was listening the wind sing for ever
Waves of quietude and peace
As far as I remember
Childhood is an immense ocean
Et je revais longues annees, longue indolence
Ou rien ne se passe mais ou rien ne s'oublie
J'allais sereine et sans connaitre
Le moindre feu d'une absence
And I dreamed long years, long indolence
Where nothing happens but where nothing is forgotten
I was going serene and without knowing
The smallest fire of an absence
Ce n'est qu'en te croisant
Que j'ai su, j'ai compris
That's only when meeting you
That I knew, I understood
J'attendais, j'attendais
J'attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting your look to explain finally
The reason of these goodbyes
To that long road
J'attendais, j'attendais
Le pays de ton corps le toucher de tes mains
Ma douce boussole mon nord,
Le sens a mes demains
I was waiting, I was waiting
The country of your body the touch of your hands
My dear compass my north
The meaning to my tomorrows
Et j'abordais les troubles rives adolescentes
Les doutes, les jeux, les mauvais courants
Je me souviens les coups de sang
Des musiques et des mots de France
Amants d'avant
And I was boarding the adolescent beaches
Doubts, games, and bad flowings
I remember the strokes
Musics and words from France
Past lovers
Y'a bien des vies qu'on nourrit d'etude ou de science
Destins faits d'aventures, de records ou d'argent
Des vies d'ecriture et de voyage
Ou de reve de puissance
J'y pensais bien de temps en temps,
En ecoutant le vent
There's a lot of lives feeded from studies or science
Destinies make from adventures, from records or money
Lives of writting and voyages
Or from puissance dream
I tought about that from time to time
Listening the wind
J'attendais, j'attendais
J'attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting your look to explain finally
The reason of these goodbyes
To that long road
J'attendais, j'attendais, j'attendais ton amour
Ton beau ton bel amour
Je l'attendais pour enfin vivre
En donnant a mon tour
I was waiting, I was waiting I was waiting your love
Your lovely your beautiful love
I was waiting to finally live
By giving at my turn
J'attendais
