There are some childhood sounds you'll never forget.

For anyone my age, that includes the horrible screeching noise as you turned the crank faster and faster before launching your Evel Knievel Stunt bike across the kitchen floor.

Of course, it would veer off course instantly, bouncing off the cat before crashing into the skirting board incurring your mothers wrath who would tell you not to use the Encyclopædia Britannica as a ramp in order to jump the 5 tins of spam you were using in place of buses.

Happy times

RIP Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel Jr

Bit of a long shot...
Can anyone remember where the log cabins were that we were going to rent when Jeff Pruitt was coming over all those years ago?

I've tried googling but all I can find are fancy swish places, these were proper rustic looking cabins. Trees sawn down the middle, big fire in the corner and stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Rally HQ are reporting that Stuart has gone off on stage 12 :(
The rescue unit got to them within 4mins - seems an eternity compared to F1 / Champ Car etc but in rallying that's pretty quick.
Both crew were conscious although first reports say that Andy is a bit bust up and being taken to hospital :(

Just looking back at some old photos from when I used to race with Andy... blimey I look so young! Mind you, it was 15yrs ago when I first met him
