Trials and tribulations

Post by Guest »

Mainly some photos of photos so don't expect too much.

Back when I was young (in my 20s) I used to have a go at production car trials. Started by just watching, but had to have a go. It was just club stuff and while I got the hang of it I could never really go for it as I would need my car for work on Monday.

A bit of a queue on one bit where we had to stack up so they could get a stuck car out. Yes the metro was competing

When was this - I'm guessing mid 1980s?

Pretty much, TCP was my fourth Morgan, so that was probably 1988, not all from the same trial though.

Trials do look fun, it's one of several things I keep meaning to find out about locally to go & watch.
