Cold Turkey and Old Bangers Autotest 2003

Enstone – 27th December 2003

Report by Peter Wood.

A cold and later wet day was in store for the bleary eyed members out for this seasonal jolly. A first for TMC in that all the cars were provided, so no excuses for the equipment!

A closely fought battle for the event, with only 13 seconds between 1st and 4th. Tests 2 & 5 seemed to sort the men from the boys, with plenty taking maximums (getting lost!). There were a series of close battles down the list - Duncan and Dan were split by 0.5 seconds at 1/2 way, and the lead was extended to only 1.5 seconds at the end between 3rd and 4th place. Similarly Eddie and Julz had a to-do, Julz leading by 1.5s at halfway, but Eddie winning by 1.6s, all on test 6!

A big thank-you to Pat Jackson for the use of his cones, two FWD cars and supply of hot coffee and tea on a cold day! Many thanks also to Vision Motor Sport for the use of the four Cops & Robbers cars. Also thanks to Andi, Duncan, Andy C, James for towing said C&R to event. Last and not least to the hardy marshals - James, Brian and Andy Cadle.
