Ian, I will be at West Of England AND Torbay, both rallies are excellent, and so is Boconnoc - it is just that the latter is at the end of the school term and sometimes like this year falls on the same day as my grandaughters birthday and both my grandchildren live permanently with us. For a smaller rally (around 25 - 30 engines), Torbay is an amazing rally purely due to the variety of engines it produces. Also, it is only 40 minutes drive from home. I will not be going to South Cerney this year as I did not win one of the tickets from Seddon and Black!

Incidentally Ian, at any rally if you see a large red R reg BMW 5 series heading towards you at speed, it will just be me delivering your black fishnet tights.

Regards,

Tom.

PS: Does your wife know about you wearing fishnet tights?

Now I'm back from the West, couple of pics that I took - Boconnoc is one of the highlights of the year for me.

Good to hear Bo-Peep is staying in Cornwall, and Mr Vincent tells me the engine will continue her WESES rally streak:



Clinker in front of Boconnoc house:




tasker_tractor came down with Tasker 1902 via Langport the previous weekend:




We didn't go to the rally on Sunday but we saw Gladiator and King Harry in full flight on the road returning home, amazing sights.

The other good thing is the programme - interesting engine information and wonderful pics from Andrew Williams collection. I hope Andrew or the Boconnoc organisers don't mind me putting a few on here, they are such a treat and I don't remember seeing any of them before:

God, I am so p***ed off withe not being able to get down this year. Looks like all had a great time. The pic of Clinker is so impresive, its got to be one of my favourite engines. Just look at it, shear bliss.

I too thought it was a nice touch to put those working day photos in the program.
