You both deserve it Steve, a cracking result to what I guess has been a long, hard year.

Well done and keep on pushing.

Cheers Niall :!: Yep of all the events this year 5th overall on the 'Clitheronian' was my favourite against some very quick modern crews, a superb night event, one of the best i've ever done, everything just right all night, little car never missed a beat , absolutely flat out all night, the Trough of Bowland , my favourite piece of road had my map man Bob muttering prayers :lol: and us catching the car in front, two minute gap, despite him having an extra 100BHP :D :D

Cheers Steve ! Thank you for your kind attention. I won't be able to go to Beaulieu in june, to much work as I am back to school for two years (yes indeed, I must be crazy !) But my friend Enguerrand (aka Pluto here) should be there so we should talk about that in due time.
Very nice result again, Bravo !

Well done Steve and Bob,
It's nice to see older competition cars still used, and sometime abused, instead of sitting in heated garages and polished relentlessly.
Here's to your next trophy.
