IM Transport man Martin Mallon hits the big half-century in October.
Stalker ain’t too sure of the exact date, but sources report that wife Bernie whisked Martin off to Italy for a quick break to celebrate.
They did it in style too, going to catch Martin’s fave sport, Formula One Grand Prix Racing. The circuit at Monza is renowned for fabulous races and this year’s did not disappoint.
Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya benefited from the misfortunes of his McLaren-Mercedes team-mate Kimi Raikkonen to dominate the race. It was a textbook performance to upstage the world championship battle between Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
This race signalled the end of an era. For much of the past decade Monza has been the stamping ground of the Ferrari team, but this was the race where Michael Schumacher's domination of the world championship - five in a row - formally ended.
The surprise and exciting weekend was the perfect prezzie for hitting the nifty fifty.
