That' an incredible achievement DVT, well done.     When I used to walk my dog I'd often meet Roy White and he would tell me about your exploits in the Rallying World and it was really interesting to hear all about them.         It was nice to see the photo and Ill mention it to Roy when I see him next


It's no wonder that your thoughts on the present 20 mph rule are unprintable           ;D

Certainly is!  1974 Manx International.  Finished 32nd overall, 3rd in class.
The car was registered new in September 1973 and did three rallies that year, then there were no rallies due to petrol crisis for a few months.  During that time it was converted from being an Avenger Tiger Mk2 to being a Group One GT model.
We did 16 rallies in it, then in November 1974 it was replaced by the red one GCC11N.
Lot of success with Red Garages back in those good old days ...

A different venue, on a Friday night, for a worthy local cause we all know and appreciate, with same band and a rip-roaring atmosphere. Be there to sing along and be part of it. (There might even be room for dancing !)

Dave, I have just come across this photograph that I took in the Isle of Man around 1972.

Is this you and Colin Mack?

Another update.........

Banksy: London tree mural covered in plastic and boards

The street artist claimed the Finsbury Park mural on his social media on 18 March.

The mural features swathes of green paint on a residential building behind a nearby tree to give the appearance of leaves.

Days later it had been strewn with white paint.

Previously, Islington Council said it was installing CCTV cameras and looking at other ways to protect the work.

The authority added it wanted the piece "to stay".

VISITORS to North Wales can play their part to help protect nature and the environment during the Easter break.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is gearing up to welcome a high number of visitors to its woodlands and National Nature Reserves over the Bank Holiday weekend and school break and people are being reminded to follow the Countryside Code and any site-specific guidance.

As more people have become aware of the health and well-being benefits of time spent in nature over the last few years, there has been an increase in visitors.

GreenWood Family Park, in Felinheli, near Bangor, has invested more than ?100,000 in importing the giant Forest Glider slide

A top eco tourist attraction is gearing up for the new season with a brand new ride and is taking on 100 workers. GreenWood Family Park, in Felinheli, near Bangor, has invested more than ?100,000 in importing the giant Forest Glider slide from the Netherlands and installing it just in time for the Easter holidays.

The spectacular new ride, known as Gleidar y Goedwig in Welsh, is the only one of its kind in Wales, standing 20 metres tall and 75 metres long. GreenWood also launched a major drive to recruit seasonal workers to beef up the 30-strong permanent team at the environmentally-friendly adventure park, recently named by Trip Advisor as the best tourist attraction in North Wales.

Mysterious 'Jackdaw Chair' with peculiar tradition returns to rightful home in North Wales
The ornate chair was once thought lost after disappearing from the town of Conwy

Its origins have been lost in the mists of time but legend has it that Conwy?s ?Jackdaw Chair? was once the seat of a peculiar tradition. Framed by two carved jackdaws, perching ominously above whoever sits there, the chair once resided in the town?s Castle Hotel.

As well as bearing the town crest, it?s inscribed prominently with the word ?Jackdaw?. This is the nickname (Jac-do in Welsh) that's given to people born within the walls of Conwy town, reflecting the bird?s fondness for nesting on the town walls and medieval castle ramparts.
