The 2019 Scottish Car of the Year awards ceremony will take
place in early November and, as ever, at
this time of year there is quite a rush to drive and assess those cars the 15
judges might have missed during the past 12 months. The job was completed yesterday
with a run in one of Ford's finest to Duns and back. Not to see the museum, but
to attend a pre-Jim Clark Memorial Rally meeting.
If anyone still thinks that organising a Closed Road Stages Rally is
easier and cheaper than organising a forest rally, a listen-in to one of those
meetings will blow all those preconceptions into the weeds. Over two hours the 'To-Do'
list was gone through in fine detail by the Chair and the amount of work undertaken
by every delegate around that table prompted one silent question: "How the
heck do they all fit that in with their days jobs!" They'll meet again shortly
to discuss progress and what is yet to be done. My bunnet off to each and every
one of them.
But back to the day job. Last week was pretty frantic with a fleet of
the automotive industry's latest four wheeled temptations to get through and appraise.
A tough job, but someone's got to do it, eh?
