As I've said before Dale, it seems that a lot of people prefer working on their cars to driving them :roll: :wink:

Bring on the driving tests!! The year we had the green raffle car called Winston was the best challenge ever. You had to drive round the course with a plate taped to the bonnet with a tennis ball on that, without the ball falling off..... Might sound easy but when it came to the interbranch challenge you had four in the car plus a judge and anyone who saw us four Northern Ireland guys (who all like their spuds...) try to struggle into a 4 door wont forget it in a hurry!!! When Dig, Andrew and me were in the back we couldnt get the back doors shut. Poor minor, I wonder if who ever won it knew how it was abused?

Where was the rally site that year?<br>Image<br>


Too many Minors so little time.....

Vikki you'll be fine and there will be hundreds of willing volunteers travelling the same route, ready to help out any damsel in distress - which you won't be because your Minor will be so reliable!

Talking of seeing pictures (and I'd love to see your pink minor Vikki), I still haven't seen Wibble standing beside her van with matching haircolour....

There's several Vikki Bakers on Facebook and their profiles are all locked down to friends only. :-? Perhaps you could start a new topic about Penny on here and post the photos in it? If you've taken her to JLH I expect it will be a pretty top-notch job. :)

LOL @ Stag. I think you could be waiting quite a while for that picture... ;)

I think some are in for a shock when they meet Juliet as she just looks like you average Moggie driver, however chatting to her especially when she has her camera in hand as her personality shines through just like her vans colour scheme 8)

What does an average Moggie driver look like? Not sure I've ever seen one... ;)

Certainly can't argue with that. :D
