A few videos from a couple of stages of the Speyside Rally on Saturday.

I have some more so if you're looking for a specific car, give me details and I'll see if I've got it.

Cheers

Well done, pity I did not go, I did consider it.

Do you know who was driving the Dolomite Sprint?

Which car is that, not too good with the older stuff (which I'm presuming it is?)

The driver of the Dolomite is Ken Wood. Golden Wonder was one of his major sponsors many years ago. Have a look at this YouTube Vid.

I know Ken Wood and when I noticed the Golden Wonder I thought it may be him that was why I asked smile

I used to compete against him in a TR8

Same guy. He used to have a Rover Vitesse a number of years back which I believe Gordon Smith bought from him. I can remember hearing it on some of the hill roads around Alford. Showing my age now !.

Ken used to drive a Metro 6R4 as well and one of many memories of Ken was his first every stage in the beast when he arrived at the stage end time-control. With eyesballs out on stocks, bright red cheeks as always he exclamined where the f&*k have all the straights gone there just seems to be one corner after another as this f&*ker is so quick. Boy did I laugh
