Car 44 finished 39th o/a and 11th in class 1st time out for my Nav so not too shoddy.
Struggled all year though and lost my Nav 4 from the end so have had to use whoever was available and missed 2 rounds completley. Will be out next year with another newcomer so not doing any championships just picking events
watch this link for the Bruce no details yet should be out after crimbo

did u have a lady in the car that night if so then i think i spoke to you, or id have spend loads of time just looking at your car and probably got a pic of it somewhere as i took a pic of all the minis in the rally as well as the mk1 and 2 escorts

[mini90]

I know most of those guys to chat to b4 a Rally specially the 2 old guys in the Riley. They are totally mental, watched them outdrag a 206GTI into a bend on the outside from a standing start at a control the Pug gave way. the ladies that night where in car 46 I think, mines the Silver Ritz. Wickenby Airfield that was fun bit hard on some cars though plenty of broken concrete. Can't recall John Barber but if he competes I probably know him

[TimS]

he used to in an Austin A35

[mini90]

Dosen't ring a bell but if he was using an A35 must 've been back in the 70's I was running an Anglia then and didn't relly travel much out of the Worksop/ Sheffield area.
never good enough to do MN series proper

[TimS]

ah they were running the A35 up till about 3 years ago, did a few RAC's too in its time.

iv only just moved from grimsby to sheffield, is there many clubs around here?

[mini90]

SHEFFIELD & HALLAMSHIRE MC, Mary Jones 0114 247 1963. Fair few others in Derbyshire within easy reach if you live on the South side
