I enjoyed watching that. You get a much better look at the stunning cars because they are going slowly! The mini was a bit underwhelming, though.

He could have been giving it a bit more stick but it is quite a valuable car, real BMC Works car ex Makinen/Fall/Hopkirk last Mini to win an international rally, the guy who owns it also owns the GTO going round.

The lady in the 275 was giving it some beans.

And that’s why Strad owner speak so highly of their cars and they keep them for 5 years and not two years. Fabulous things.

A few months ago, an old lady pulled up to my son and I to ask for directions, we were gob smacked as she was driving a tuned Focus RS!!! I have seen her a few times since then and then saw her last weekend in our local Morrisons car park. Took a photo but was too late to get her in.

Then speaking to a friend of mine who also has an RS, I asked him if he has ever seen her and he said she is a 72 year old Chester Lady and she does drive it properly some times! And she is on YouTube now. Here is the link. Have any others local to Chester seen her?

Back in August '99 I was pootling down the A5 in my '69 Mk2 Cooper on the way to the big 'Mini 40' celebration at Silverstone when 'LRX 827E' pulled out in front of me at a junction....
