ORANGEBOX RALLYING UPDATE

[SMOKE GREY]

As i have'nt posted much recently on infamous 'Orangebox' i thought i would do an update. Last year i did 8 rallies with two 2nd overalls, a 3rd a 4th a 6th overall, 5 class wins and one non finish ( idler gear failure). Tis year is 20 years since i won the ANWCC historic rally c/ship, in 92 navigating in a Cortina GT, so i decided this year i would have a crack at winning it as a driver. Also it's 50 years this year since the cars first rally

So far we had 12th overall , a class win and highest placed Mini on the Tour of Cheshire, a bit of a naff result on the Ilkley Jubillee , a day when things did'nt go to plan , and a class win last saturday night, which should put us at the top of the points table. I've also refrained from going to a big engine, and i'm still rowing the 1-litre along .

Here's a photo ( taken by Neil Johnson ) on saturday night in the Gisburn forest complex.

It is heartening to see cars used, and sometimes abused!, rather just sitting in heated grates bing polished.
