Present car

Currently using a Land Rover Freelander for everyday transport and going out to marshal on rallies. I also have a Suzuki Ignis sport for the fun bits

Rally career

Started doing club events in 1971 and did my first road rally in 1972 in a 998 Mini, progressed to stage events a few years later in the Mini. Since then driven Escorts, MG Midget and another Mini in rallies even competed in a MG 1300 at one time. Co driven in a variety of cars with a variety of people up to national level. Best event I have competed on was the Jim Clark even though we did not finish. But at least I was on the same event as a Mr Rodger Clarke.

Motorsport Ambition

Would still like to compete on some stage events if I win the lottery just. But as long as I am enjoying helping on events we will have to stick with that.

Successes

Who needs successes when you meet lots of nice people and ducks out in motor sport.

Sporting

Marshalling

I will continue as long as I am fit and able and get pleasure from it.
