At last!

At last we shall have two 240Z's out on the same round of the British Historic Rally Championship next weekend!

Both Duncan Pearcey (Z Farm) and ourselves will be competing on the Mid Wales Stages which starts from Newtown on Saturday afternoon.

There are two stages (Hafren North and Sweet Lamb) on Saturday followed by a whole lot more on Sunday. Very good spectating from Sweet Lamb, according to the website www.newtown-mc.co.uk

Duncan is running no 334 and we are 339.

There are 43 Post Historics/Classics (1968 to 1981 cars) and about 18 Historics (pre 1968). Our class C4 is strong as usual althrough there has been no sign of Jimmy McRae since his car (911) caught fire at the end of the Welsh! The other 6 cars in the class are very competitive 911's.

Duncan has journalist Jamie Edwards as co-driver so Z's might get some column inches out of it as long as Duncan behaves himself!

Hope fully Dominic Frattaroli's car will be ready for the Ypres Rally in Belgium on the same weekend, although it will be touch and go, apparently.

I know that you will all be at Billing at the weekend, but wish us well anyway!

I was looking at it today and although I cannot vouch for any details like when or where, neither is it my place to do so, the car looks fantastic. It certainly has been built "up" to a standard. :bow:

Best of luck to both teams, great to see more than one 240 out there.

We finished 4th in Class and 14th Post Historic, behind 3 911's one of which won overall.

Duncan was 12 seconds ahead of us after the first day but then had problems with his intercom, so we were able to overhaul him before the end of SS5 when his gearbox broke.

Excellent event. Great fun!

Thanks everyone!

I heard today that Dominic's new car is now pretty much ready for action.
Unfortunately, it did not make it in time for the Ypres Rally.
