A sight to gladden the hearts this morning at the test day
in Ae Forest, when a lightfooted gentleman of indeterminate age was spotted “singin’
and dancin’ in the rain”.
Like a scene straight out of the film, and wearing a hard
hat instead of a trilby, the Gene Kelly lookalike used a brush instead of an
umbrella to entertain and delight an audience of puzzled onlookers with his tacketty
boot tappin’ terpsichorean display of dazzling footwork.
Drivers, co-drivers, service personnel and officials were
enthralled. The midges were ignored and the rain forgotten as a little bit of
lightness was brought to the dripping, grey gloom.
And the ‘Strictly’ auditioner? Just one of British rallying’s
most popular and enduring characters. Do you know who it is yet? Do you think
we should tell the BBC?
