well that's it, season over, last week travelled to Bognor regis for the last but one round and won it ! that left us needing a win yesterday and the champ leader to finish 3rd or worse, the rally was very very fast and the 998 just didn't have the legs on the 911"s and rs 2000"s, we finished a respectable 9th o/a, the champ leader went out of time at lunch due to a rare navigator error, so the year ended up with us runner up in the championship by 4 points and winning the masters class,

a lot of competitors loved seeing the mini at the sharp end of the championship and mixing it with the more powerful [and expensive cars] , only one thing to do now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, win it next year :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


ps,,,,,,,,,,,,motors tv November 19th, the last rally of the season is on, throckmorton challenge, yours truly features , so plenty of fodder for a barrage of top quality p@@s taking I hope :lol:

Well done buddy - it's been a hard fought championship with some ups, down and an odd nugget of leg-pulling gold ;-)

Did you ever have the same wing man twice?

With a bit of luck on your side, instead of against you, I think you've got every chance next year.

Excellent result considering the caliber of the (much larger engined) entries.
Good to see your Mini is still capable of embarrassing the big boys. 8-)

Well done Jon, excellent season and great result with a 998cc engine. Hope to see you on the Tour of Cheshire in March.

Just watched this. The production isn't going to win any BAFTAs but the content is good with some nice machinery and a good representation of classic motorsport.

Slowboy gets more than his 5 minutes of fame too and then there's a preview of the Rally of The Tests with a flash of the Orangebox 8-)

RoTT coverage is on 27th December.
