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

Car

Another Range Rover (L322) now replaces the "The Hearse" (aka Subaru 2.5 Outback) which was the replacement for the Subaru Forester after the much loved P38a Range Rover DSE.

(Missed the power of the 3.9 v8 Classic before that, but not the thirst - though much better with a different chip fitted, as several 4.00 V8 owners have found out).

Clubs

British Rally Marshals Club, and heavily involved with

Never been known to refuse a Guinness when in Ireland, whilst in the UK a long term supporter of CAMRA.

If you are ever in Dublin, then the International Bar on the corner of Wicklow Street and St. Andrew Street is 'my local'.

A big favourite, either eating it or preparing it (check the waist line)

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.
