And no, he wasn’t there to check up on the activities of MSN’s
Scottish correspondent (or so he said), he came because he was intrigued and
genuinely interested. He also looked quite pleased and content when he left
late Saturday.
His task was to write a feature on the event whereas the
usual suspect was left to write the report on the competition element, so it
looks like a two page spread tomorrow.
I do have one little doubt though. A certain co-driver let
slip a ‘quote’ from his driver which should be mentioned in the ‘Briefs’ column
beside the report tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if MSN edits this out,
or leaves it in. If they edit it out, all will be revealed here – later!
Also, it might be unwise to reveal this quote ahead of
tomorrow because the driver who uttered it is still in the country – he flies
home tomorrow, so I’ll be on safer ground after that.
And finally, a special word of thanks and appreciation to
Citroen DS for their support and especially to Steve Brogniart and Christian
Tronca from Citroen Racing who brought the Xsara over from Paris for the
weekend. I was trying to tell them it was such a treat to have them here with
that car, but their English was pretty limited and my French is even worse, but
you know what? They told me it was an honour for THEM to be HERE.
They even turned down my offer of haggis and chips for their
tea!
