It was an entire committee decision, and a no brainer

My old Jetta LD was HHG 868W from Blackburn I believe.

Could he lead the drive out on the Saturday and I agree what a great show it was.

It's something that we've thought about, but short notice to teach him the route, we've suggested he does some of it though

We are both International Rally co drivers so I think we could find our way round Uttoxeter…what you reckon lol…

Probably the first time the leading cars will stick to the route then!

Haha this is very true Walter, perhaps it's more of us knowing the route, it's not been finalised yet haha! But we will sort something out
