OK, having just (re)joined CT (having just returned to Triumph ownership), I've therefore only just spotted this!

I've been a road rally navigator and occasional driver for about 30 years, also done a few stages in a self-built Dolomite Sprint and subsequently a self-built Toledo Sprint. Currently doing sprints and hillclimbs (no navigator needed!) in a 1.4L Rover 25 which has been a lot of fun.

As a navigator I used to run as an expert and did OK in the 1990s in various London Counties, ACSMC, EMAMC and occasional ASWMC championship events. I've done a few historic rallies, but I'm a bit rusty at the moment and would probably need a bit of practice to get back into the groove. But might be up for a run out if anyone was looking for a fat grumpy old git to sit in the LH seat and mutter disgruntedly at the scenery. I'm located in Newbury but can travel reasonable distances.

Cool car Ian, welcome.

You could do worse than having a go at the Warwickshire Scatter in July (I would plug it as the main organiser!) but would be good for getting back into the swing of things!

JJ, hi and thanks - it's nice to be back!

Well, if anyone wants a grumpy old man dot dot dot ;-o

Maybe we should start a drivers' and navigators' dating service?

That Toledo did the RBRR back in the day. but the latest acquisition has no sporting pretensions - at least at present. Once it's bedded in a little then that might change. Certainly planning to do RBRR next year in the "new" old car.

You beat me too IT Mike.

I am currently on loan to another driver whilst Mike is occupied elsewhere for a couple of months, so there will be an empty LH seat in a while.

Have a chat to Mike, he may have a seat in the Vomit Rocket going free before I return.

Cheers

Colin.
