Ooh, what car? Being nosey...

My guess would be either a Mk2 Escort, Vauxhall Chevette or Sunbeam Talbot.

Could be Opel Manta or Ascona

Thanks. Not my favourite event as they caused me lots of problems and blocked access to my workshop. There are claims about how much money it brought but in practice we lost money as the shop turnover dropped to a level where it was more profitable to close.
In the end we just left the island for holidays and I continued to do so every year until now.
I had wooden blocks holding up my boat outside my workshop and every year they were stolen until I just removed them before the event. At post rally celebrations they had pissing contests through our letterbox until I had to remove that also.
I could go on but you may gather I am not a fan.

That sounds like all the reasons I always get away from here during our rally weekend too.

True, but usually beyond the reach of a typical clubbie.

Like a racing friend who lives in Glastonbury.

Always goes on his hols when the festival is on.

I have being to try and remember and i can't be sure as i was doing so much freelancing on service crews around that time for different people and events my best guess would be either Vauxhall Astra 2.0 GTE or Escort MK2 .

They were fun days for sure and i saw some sights and went to some great places

About 1890. My teeny, wonky little cottage was originally built as the home of the level crossing keeper for the nearby railway line. The line was re-routed at some point in the 1960s, I think.

oh very cool!

Leek & potato soup for supper, followed by a tomato, mozzarella, basil & avocado salad with bread & butter, and finished off with a nice hot and the last slice of the blackberry & apple upside down cake.
