Well, that caused a teeny weeny wee bit more head scratching than the previous pre-Christmas quiz, but here are the answers for those of you who may still be stumped by one or two. But since most of you got most of them right, maybe I should come up with something a bit more testing, or maybe not - that might just give you more of a headache than a New Year hangover!!
Pic 11: Was he a better chef than driver? Or is he just sprinkling a little hash over the service crew’s breakfast?
The jury is out on that one but at least Gordon Boyd didn’t poison anyone, although anybody passing his entourage whilst he was cooking often commented on the strong whiff of Castrol R in the air.
Pic 12: A prime candidate for ‘The Fast & Furious’ franchise back in the day, but sometimes, just sometimes, the trees got in his way!
The picture is of course, Alastair ‘Fletch’ Fletcher who was awfy quick in a Mk1, but sometimes, just sometimes, it didn’t finish a rally in the same physical shape as it started.
Pic 13: The fresh faced youngster will be easy to spot, but who is the co-driver who has fallen fast asleep on the job?
Aye, this one was too easy. He may be a bit older these days but Andy Horne still looks just the same (must be Grecian 2000!) but the guy fast asleep (kidding on he’s concentrating on his maps!) is co-driver and some time rally CofC, Andy Jardine.
Pic 14: Two well known co-drivers appear to be hatching a plan, but who is the concerned driver keeking over their shoulders?
Ian Wilson is the driver on the right and asking John Bennie if he has a digital watch. John says he has and points his left hand digit at Stewart Merry who tells him the time from his own wrist mounted timepiece.
Pic 15: Who is this rehearsing for the pantomime ‘Sleeping Beauty’, or could it be ‘The Mousetrap’, or is he just catching flies?
Youngsters, eh? Mark Grierson (son of Mad Murr) can’t keep up with the demands of an exacting parent.
Pic 16: Who is this quaffing Super-Bru, the best go-faster drug in the business?
Another easy one, it’s the Sackmaker himself, Alan Dickson taking a deep swig of his preferred tipple of happy juice, Irn Bru!
Pic 17: Looks more like a ne’er do well (on remand?) testing door handles on parked cars to see if they are locked!
This one was a bit more tricky, and caught out quite a few folk, but this sprightly sprog is in fact Keith Morris who could maybe do with some Grecian 2000 these days himself, eh?
Pic 18: His 1600cc motor thought it was a two litre job!
It’s the slow talking, fast farmer himself, Davie Elder. Remember the Starlet and the Mk2?
Pic 19: Easy one this, but they look awfy serious – deciding who is buying the cairry-oot and who is gaun fur the chips!
John Baird on the left and George Gauld on the right were easy spots, but the guy in the middle confused a number of folk. It’s Gordon ‘Safety’ Smith from Alford.
Pic 20: Who are these two trendies discussing shampoo and conditioner, or is it thatch and weather-proofing?
Just love this fotie of two guys apparently advertising head-mounted coir door mats, the bristly kind for cleaning boots at the back door of the hoose after a session in the garage and on sale at your local Woolworths store - ask yer Maw and Paw! Gordon Boyd on the left and Robin Hamilton doing the Tom Selleck impression on the right.
Pic 21: Changing places. Seat swap, but who are they?
They haven’t even started the rally and already they are bickering. That is regular co-driver Suzanne Smith on the left giving Fred Bell a serious talking-to before her debut as a driver!
Pic 22: The odd couple, but the one in the co-driver’s seat really is odd, the driver is the sensible one!
Another easy one, or maybe not. Donald Smith is the full fat figure in the full-face helmet being driven on this occasion by regular co-driver Rachael Argo.
Happy days, eh?
