We had a Rally Briefing yesterday at Gaydon Heritage Motor Centre and saw some of the other cars, including the 1907 Itala that did the rally in 2007 and is doing it this time. We met lots of the other competitors, had safety talks and met the support teams who are all very keen

We took our car to the west country at the weekend for it's first rally! It took us 6 hours to get down to Monmouth, on A roads, we're not sure that we are really up to motorways yet! Sadly the Daffodil Run did not live up to its name as there were few flowers out due to this stupid weather. The rally itself was great,slightly bad start when we got lost in the car park,then were put as number 1 car as we were the oldest, but we managed to find our way in the end and have a lovely late lunch with the other drivers. We were pretty tired at the end of our 4 1/2 hour journey home, getting up to 63 mph, the fastest we have ever been!! We have our Rally Briefing next sunday, suddenly it all seems to be happening
