    That event is running this weekend, think I first went to it about 30 years ago

    I've been in a car doing 1.11 around there and that felt fast, fuck knows where they get another 10-11 seconds from

    That's understandable. We've seen you and Dave race.

    Roger Freeth later bought the V8 Starlet off Trevor Crowe and raced it in Trams Am or whatever it was called back then and won the championship

    Although I am still a rally fan.

    The modern cars seem a wee bit too controlled,It is just not the same to watch. Luckily there are still a lot of older cars rallying.
