WOw. Thank you Guus!!! THose pictures are really exciting. It is great to see some Z's in rally colors. BTW, where was your car? Have you done this historic race before? It was sad to see the No. 311 car in the ditch . I wish we had rallies like that here in the states. It would be great to see these cars in their element. Have you met Tony Fall? Europe is lucky to have these races that the greats still participate in.

Thanks again Guus,

Ben

Thanks Ben & Alan,

You miss my car?? That’s possible; this event costs 2500 euro roughly $3300!! And I don’t have that at this moment… still I love to take part one time!!!

It keeps you of the street for several days…so to speak.

I met Tony Fall and Shekhar Metha in 2002 when the Ypress rally took place. Tony was driving there and Shekhar accompanied his wife who was navigating Tony.. You are able to read the story at my webpage.

I’ll drive ‘my’ rally in three weeks time. The Horneland, a two days trip which I’m looking forward to.. :classic:
