Rally - The Last Post

All book orders are now Royally Mail posted and up to date, anything ordered after 11.30 am this morning (Sat 21st) won’t be processed till after Christmas. Hopefully this morning’s consignment will reach their destinations in time even though they are being sent as far afield as Aberdeen and Oxford and various places in between!

However, if there are any desperate folks out there who think they have missed out, I might be able to help. Last year there was one last minute phone call from the deep south west (Dumfries, actually) when one young lad completely oblivious to the time of year almost forgot his Dad’s Christmas present, and could I help. Well, who could resist such a plaintive call?

The outcome was a clandestine meeting on a dark and wet Winter’s day at Cairn Lodge services on the M74 where the goods were exchanged for cash in a rather busy car park full of festive travellers and holidaymakers. If anyone spotted us they must have thought it was a surreptitious drug deal going down - out the back of one van into another!

So if the order is big enough I still might be able to help. Have Transit, might travel!!

Anyway apart from all the flattering messages about the latest book one complaint has been received. It comes from an elderly ex-rally driver who says it’s far too heavy to read in bed. Apparently it is ‘stored’ on his beside table and he likes nothing better than flicking through the photos at night time before the sleep fairy beckons. I’m not quite sure if he falls asleep through boredom or the effort of holding the book up! So much for power steering building up the arm muscles, eh?

Meanwhile, work on the 2000s book is well underway.
