Car

Much travelled Range Rover TDV8 (L322) after "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).

Rallying
|
Favourite rally is a close call, though as a Stage
Commander on the Cambrian most years hard work & satisfying, like 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.

Rallying

What,
get up in the middle of the night, travel hundreds of miles, then sit in
the middle of nowhere with no shops, you must be joking.
OK the
Tour of
Mull just shades the Sunseeker, though Cambrian, Grizedale, Malcolm
Wilson, Trackrod, Woodpecker, Sweet Lamb, Bulldog, RAC (not WRGB),
Dukeries, to name but a few are on the annual list. |

Want to know more about this disease then please visit the site, it's
surprising how many are mis-diagnosed with other ailments and continue to suffer
before a correct diagnosis and treatment occurs.
It's also linked with a number of other conditions, though not always,
such as Sjorgrens,
Raynauds, and
Hughes Syndrome,
known medically as the
antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
