It's one of those Events Pete that I personally believe you need to do the Tour to get the full affect of the weekend and then the Sunday is just a bonus. Rear wheel drive in the wet would be fun and squeaky bum time too.

Trust me any quick OLD ford in the wet is "squeaky bum time..." especially if going a bit quick!

Passenger was lucky to walk away alive.

Was a clean and strong car, gen 40 odd k miles. If it was a rotter the outcome of with the passenger could have been very different...
