I don't know everyone who has signed up and you don't have to be a VMR member to be signed up. So why not everyone take a few moments to introduce themselves - who they are, where they live, wha...

http://www.vintageminor.co.uk/Forumpix/hotnews.jpg Just came across this horror pic on Stanley Mann's website. No details given, but horrible! This is not the car below.

This is Alan De Cadenet almost having his head chopped off. Suggest you turn the sound off if you have sensitive company.

Much progress on the Summer Rally front - the web page and entry forms should be ready shortly.
