Exeter Trial 2015

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. If we were pot hunters we wouldn't be doing this, we'd be doing something else (probably less enjoyably).

Binkers is gradually working his way through the suspension on the old war horse which now rides on new springs. Experiments with the tyres have proved interesting. He's happy with the mud clearing Pirelli Cinturatos on the front and the grippy Bridgestones on the rear. However, he's not happy with some of the corrosion on the chassis and there's talk of a body off renovation in the not too distant future.

In the meantime, we'll be using the car as it was intended.

If you see us stop to say hallo.
