2013 Exeter Trial
Schmoking! Must be something pretty competitive to get this far up Simms on the Exeter... This year Team Robert were entered in the 2013 Exeter Trial, a problem with the propshaft had been sorted and we were all ready to go when Binky got the snots. He got the snots real bad. So did Mrs Binky. I'd had the snots about 3 weeks earlier and could certainly sympathise so when we came to confer about arrangements on the Thursday before the trial it was clear that Binky was in no fit state to get wet in Dartmoor's liquid sunshine. It was a difficult decision but I couldn't see him enjoying driving the Allard all that way and I wouldn't enjoy it if I felt he was enduring it on my behalf and suffering. That can't be right! An X90 almost cleaning Simms? Nick and Liz Deacon from Stroud show that it is - almost - possible. Maybe next year? So we were a non starter and I went to watch at Simms instead. These guys breezed up on their heavy metal trials irons ...
