At last year's Carfest south I was taken up their hill by 2x British Rally Champion Russell Brookes, in an Ascona 400... you'd never quite believe that this "little old man" could make a car dance as he did.
A real gentleman - as we were amongst the first up the hill we had 45 minutes sitting together in the car, chatting with a hero from my teenage years, who I saw racing the same type of car in the Trossachs Rally.
You had a ride with one of the best.He wasnt always a little old man, he was just a little man with a big talent.
