Default Bugger-would have met Tiff Needell today,but went home early

Was an hour down the motorway when Chris the Hampshire Chairman rang me from Coombe to say I'd won best car on club stand for Hampshire, silverware was given out by Tiff -gutted as he seems a top bloke and it would have been nice to have a quick chat
thanks for picking up the award for mr Chris
here are some pix of how my Escos looked at Coombe







and Adzbelcher's nice 500



anyone else get to meet the man,the legend Mr Needell?

He's a very nice chap

Nice one - thats good news mate

I think that might have something to do with his 200 mile an hour car and building it under a certain budget (40 grand I think), hopefully we will see his saff on TV soon
