4th in RAFMSA champs' in 1978 after starting
half way through the season. Retired from rallying on The Eppynt
Stages with 2 half shaft bearings gone, no pace notes and thick fog
& to cap it all an Avenger passed us - forget it!!
I was totally dejected and decided that I was
going to call it a day unless proper finance came my way.... it didn’t.
