Engine Punk

I doubt that it will be this sunny on the 10th January Blimey - it wasn't so long ago I was getting warm again after the 2014 Exeter... My inability to learn sees me passengering Binky again in the Candidi Provocatore Allard J1in the 2015 Exeter Trial. We didn't get a Gold Award in the 2014 Land's End Trial because we messed up on of the special tests by not stopping astride the final line. On of my mates got penalised for arriving too early at a holding control so we will be on our best behaviour for this event. It really is about the taking part, though.

Duncan's in his TVR 4000 in the Exeter Trial but I hope to catch up with him and quiz him about this device.
