Hi Ron
I was lucky enough to see MILI at Gaydon last year, and I still find it unbelievable !
2 questions
a) Are you bringing MILI to Gaydon again this weekend ?

b)Why dont you enter the competitions ? You could win everything, every year, or is that the reason ?
cheers

UK WHR car rally : stickered up

A couple of photos of my car prepared for a charity fun run to Amsterdam. The stickers had to be added early to keep the sponsors happy.

hi Paul,
Please reserve one for me.
A while back the tube to my valve just disconnected, and I spent a miserable few months freezing and then baking, before realising the problem. So i understand the necessity of always having a working one of these..
