He was born in Puntland, Somalia (as confirmed on Dutch national television) and lived in The Shed of doom. He moved to a house on earth, somewhere in the uk probably. His father used to be Brands Hatch before he became a smaller club circuit. The last words he heard from his parents before being abandoned in a basket were "So long, boi". Jimmy is beautiful and likes Selena Gomez. He also cannot design cars even after 69,420 attempts.

Jimmer is taking part in the 2021 BritCar championship in the Praga R1 (we still don't know why Praga gave our shed boi a car that can lap the Nordschleife in 6 minutes), and he is expected to shout "Plz no punterino" a minimum of 7 times.

He is also Known To do "How Fast can I fap The Nordschleife" This helped his channel grow massively, and This also led to him having many episodes of him doing this. He has Mentioned stopping the series,but we can still expect Load more Nords Content from him.

## Lore
