Hailing from Watford, UK, he specialises (loosely speaking) in Super Mario Kart. Not that he much cares, but he was once as high as #28 on PAL, making him the UK's #3 smk'er for a while. He works as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport, which means whenever you catch a flight from there, he will be poking through your luggage looking for smelly underwear he can sell to his contacts in Japan. |

| + | Clark joined the Mario Kart Message Board in July 2004 initially as a means to find lurid pictures of fellow karters, but was surprised to find he actually liked posting on there. Clark built a reputation as a fine poster with alot of interesting infomation to bestow. Unfortunatley, this reputation was only shared by a select few, and everyone else just thought he was a bit weird. |

| Clark is a gentleman. An English gentleman. A polite, respectful and gentlemanly gentleman. You rarely see him swear or flame on the boards. All his post are concise and relevant and revered by many as great examples of what a truly great message board poster should be. He could never be described as uncouth in any way. | | Clark is a gentleman. An English gentleman. A polite, respectful and gentlemanly gentleman. You rarely see him swear or flame on the boards.
