Any stories: Oh so many: crossing the Humber Bridge in the morning hours in a thundersto­rm on the way to the Cleethorpe­s Rally 2012 was really scary. My mate won a trophy at the Lambretta Rally in Hagen ’92 and a pack of chocolate marshmallo­ws. We had a battle with them. The next morning he couldn’t open his eyes because of the marshmallo­ws stuck to him. He cried: “I’m blind, I’m blind.” Favourite and worst rally/event: Friedeburg ’89 and ’90, Hagen ’89 and ’92, Aachen ’91 (Edwin Starr live on stage) Liege ’11, Margate ’92, Cleethorpe­s ’12.

I just filled it with fresh oil and gas and went full throttle to a rally 300km away without any problems!

What do you like about rallies/events: Anarchisti­cc atmosphere at the rallies, meeting friends, the ride to the rally.
