Euan took the shot a second late. When I entered the ford the water was up over the top of the car. As I stood there dripping, he suggested that I go back and try it again. I politely declined.

Don't fancy a rally in the Borders, too may Kamikaze sheep!

Neil, I believe there's a section in the S2k Jocks policy manual that states that any non-Jock individual taking point on a run which takes place on Scottish soil, is automatically awarded honorary S2k Jock status.

We went up to watch the Jim Clark last year in the Scooby. the real heroes were the vintage rally guys driving old 911s and other rwd machinery.

S02s or F1s

You want me to take point when you show me pics like that I'll let you find the sheep and foot deep water, whilst I potter around behind
