What Patrick failed to mention was Stuart's rise from a humble rally
co-driver to manager of BMC's Competitions Department and on to Director
of Motorsports for Ford in Europe before his retirement. I, too, had
the pleasure of hearing him speak at the 2002 50th Anniversary
Celebration, Wokefield Park, U.K.
This is the first time I've ever seen Patrick yell. (All capital
letters in an email.) Please take my word that that was an
understatement! I was told at the time that his normal speaking fee was
#4,000 (Now $6,920 US) but that he spoke gratis for the Healey Club. I
would hope the AHC of A got a break for their airfare ;-)
