Quick line to say thanks to Ron, Phil and Mike W for setting up such a demanding course at Portesham this Sunday! I just followed them round putting the numbers on so I don't take any credit.
I know quite a few of you are FoDRoW members too, so I thought I would just let you know the FoDRoW website has crashed and the webmaster is away until 18th August. Hopefully it'll be up and running again early next week.
Apologies to all for any inconvenience this causes.
Everybody who stayed until the end at Knitson will have seen that my Rangie, having performed fine all day, point blank refused to start after the last section. Ron Hogg (thanks mate!) towed me off site and up to the bus stop on the main Swanage road, where the nice man from the AA came and looked after an hour sat watching the traffic.
We were talking to the franchised Volvo dealer in Ferndown yesterday and he offered me £6000 under the scrappage scheme for my Rangie ('88 Classic with 165K on the clock) against a brand spanking new XC90, with only £24,500 left to pay.
