Wonderful Wiscombe

Well, Wiscombe came up trumps. It was even better than I expected and I ran into a number of old friends.

The weather was spectacularly good with Vintage Things as far as the eye could see and I made the most of the relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the paddock. Conditions for racing were ideal and good times were had by all, even those of us not competing.

I went up with Pete Low the famous ex-Army Armstrong despatch bike expert. Er, that's the bike that's ex-army not Reverend Low.

We bumped into Mike Luff and Peter Chitty of the Citroen Specials Club. Later, Pete Low also got recognised by Rodney, another Citroen Specialist - I said he was famous (Pete not Rodney. If Rodney was more famous I could remember his surname. He's undoubtedly much more memorable by those who know him better. Sorry Rodders)

Rodney was also there with his Lomax and as happens when fellow enthusiasts meet we compared notes and admired each other's mechanical contrivances at the end of a long but brilliant day. Rodney's is the three wheeler and Mike's is the four wheeler.

Somebody once told me that Lomax was a rude word in French. Anyone know if this true?
