Got the official trial results in the post today. We finished in the top half and fourth in class. However Lauren and I have worked out that we won. You see it was a PRODUCTION car trial, so we removed all the specials and kit cars that beat us, the Citroen AX that beat us had modified suspension, the VW beetle had 1300 badges and an 1800 engine, the other Skoda had a Felicia fuel injection engine in it and the Midget that beat us had a hydraulic handbrake and low ratio differential. So we were the first production car and we won! If you can't beat them change the results.
Seriously though we are quite pleased. I was expecting to get soundly beaten by the other Skoda as it's driver has much more trialing experience than me, but they only beat us by four points. Considering we had the abortive 11 on the first section of the day and they scored 5 on the same section we did pretty well. so if he can complete the Classic trials, Exeter Trial here we come. Unfortunately the Edinburgh has been cancelled because of the foot and mouth situation, hope the Hardy and the Exeter go ahead.
