Hi Guys
Sorry we are late today (PC problems) The news stars with a change on the
Oldies leader board, the Lagonda is now in 5th place after having to fix a
charging problem (this is after doing an alternator conversion for improved
reliability!) The big old Bentley is now in the lead being chased by the
Packard.
The Citroen 2CV in therefore 3rd
Lots of dirt road to drift and slide the cars on so it sounds like good fun
is being had by all, even the Japanese crew in the old Datsun are smiling
ear to ear. The Broderick Mercedes had a minor fire that required a new
harness to be made in a Hotel car park (well where else would you do that?)
The Hunter of the Giles family is still out in front with the classics 7
mins ahead of the 356 Porsche and the Aston DB2/4. The Team Healey 3000 of
Dyke-Price and Onyett were overtaken by the Mustang (remind me to talk to
him about that!) And the Datsun has pulled ahead of the XK 140 Jaguar
(mmmmmmmmmm) in 12th spot on the scoreboard. The Hunts in the Team Healeys
car are in 26th place only 7 mins ahead of the MGB.
It would appear that the Morgan has solved some of its problems and is back
in the hunt in 43rd position. The lowly SAAB 96 has had to drop out after
problems and the Jaguar Mk1 sits at the bottom of the list in 51st place
some 67 hours behind the time! As a special request another mention of the
Stude, in 49th on the scoreboard. How long can they all go on like this?
More news later.
