After five season of trying Charlotte and I finally bagged a Gold medal on a car trial! We missed one by literally a couple of feet last year on the Lands End but on the first weekend of March 2023 we completed the Falcon Motor Club Anniversary Trial...

FIRST POSTED 17th April 2020. With the passing of the world's most famous racing driver, a memory of testing racing cars with the Maestro back in 1996. "Bloody Hell! That IS Stirling Moss!"

Adventures on an unusual COTSWOLD CLOUDS trial with a third different passenger/navigator in three events. It was great fun but the results has me searching through the mythical RACING DRIVER'S BOOK OF EXCUSES for reasons...

Finally getting the Suzuki X-90 to finish an event after a long series of recent problems. Stand in navigator Graham Jones found the event 'extreme' in nature . But the result was a most welcome 3rd in class.

After a three month engine rebuild things did not go smoothly when we got our Suzuki X-90 trials car back in action on the EXETER TRIAL in the middle of a howling gale!
