| Fred McLean of Mull CC with Fraser and Peter |
If there was such a thing, and perhaps rallying would be all the
better for such an award, then this meritorious accolade would find no better,
or nuttier, recipients than this pair of rascals. Last time they contested the ‘wee
Mull’ they completed the drive to and from the rally and throughout the event
itself with the hood down on their Mazda MX5. And by goad it was wet, really
awfy wet.
Apparently
this has now become a ‘thing’ and since then they have continued to compete on
rallies with the hood down regardless of the weather. And they did it again
this weekend. And it was wet again. If this is a ploy to gain better times
because of sodden time cards and paperwork on which Marshals cannot write a poor
score or a wrong time, then it’s working, they finished 2nd overall.
And their
event was not without drama. When a crank sensor broke off they effected a repair
using the tried and trusted Scottish dark art of ‘crofter engineering’ whereby
they tied it and secured it back in place with a length of baler twine! If
there is one thing better than tie-wraps, then it is baler twine. Did you know
baler twine has a red British Standard kite mark?
