RSR Lakeland Rally 2007

[p5tgc]

The RSR Lakeland Rally took place over the weekend of 15/16 September, and among the almost 60 entrants there were 4 P5s, all from Scotland.



This photo shows the P5B Coupés of Tom Wilson and myself in the Burnside Hotel car park, the cars of Douglas Reid and Cairns Galbraith not pictured.

Saturdays road tour enjoyed fine weather, and took entrants via Borrowdale and the Honister pass to the Honister slate mine, returning to Bowness on Windermere via Buttermere.

After a great social evening on Saturday, the cars drove down to Holker Hall for Sunday's static show. Guess what?

Yes, it rained. Just for a change. Persistantly.

No matter, great weekend with good company.

Cairns won the P5 class, with Douglas Reid's 3 litre saloon as runner up.

Nice pics Trevor, and a nice assortment of Rovers there.
At least we now know that Tom Wilson finally got his car back from Northern Ireland after its re-spray. How many months was that?

I lost count, but think it must have been well over two years; he was badly let down by supposed professionals who did very little, very badly, very slowly until in the end he had to go over there and do (and redo) the job himself.

Tom had the car back in Scotland last summer, its first outing was the "Fish & Chip" run to Anstruther last July.

Don't know if it shows in the photo, but Tom has made up a plinth for a pennant on the bonnet. We await with interest to see what flag he will display!
