Macclesfield, though originally from God's Country & white roses

Car

"The Hearse" is the new replacement for the Subaru Forester after the much loved P38a Range Rover DSE.

Pets

 

None at the moment

(Poppy died 26/06/02 aged 13 and Maxi died 12/08/03 aged 14)

Rallying

Favourite rally is a close call, but the Tour of Mull  just shades the Scottish International, anything in Dalby, or anything over Eypnt, the Roger Albert Clark (RAC), or the Sunseeker Rallye. 

Favourite rally car has to be the Metro 6R4. It's just the bark of one as it charges toward you from several miles away in a forest.
