"Apologies, but a photo from my 80's Fleetwood Mac period (frightening)"

Anyway, here's the voxpop.

Job

 

IT Problem Manager

Home

 

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

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).

Clubs

 

British Rally Marshals Club

Drink

 

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 the International Bar on the corner of Wicklow Street and St. Andrew Street is 'my local'.

 

Food

 

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

Pets

 

None at the moment

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.

How do you think Derek got to that size?

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.

Officially Team Duck MC webmaster

Sport

Not anymore, but used to play volleyball

Links  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).
