Ten years ago a couple of keen young ‘Motorsport News’ whippersnappers from
London (that’s in Englandshire by the way, near France) came up to Mull to see
what all the fuss was about. They were enthralled, excited and captivated and
swore that they would return one day to sample the automotive delights and
flavours of this unique and wonderful event.
They kept
their word and re-appeared on the island yesterday. Today Matt Burt is Editor
of the esteemed and authoritative ‘Autocar’ weekly magazine while Jonathan Mudd
has deserted the honest and honourable world of motor sporting journalism for
the big bucks (or not, as he claims) glittering world of PR.
When they
first appeared ten years ago they were hell bent on absorbing the whole island
and event experience and were intent on camping in a tent, on Mull, in October.
It was cold, wet, windy and dreich that year. Angus Cameron took pity on the
poor wee drookit souls and offered them a caravan at his campsite on the top
side of the city of Tobermory. Guess where they are staying this year. Yup, the
very same caravan – which begs the question. Is Angus charging them the same 2005
rate? Somehow I wouldn’t think so, eh?
