Gary Weaver On the night Carol and I joined the CHB Vintage Car Club a year ago, we sat at the janetmweaver@gmail.com same table for our meal with Dianne and Geoff. Quarrie. In conversation, they pro- 06 858 9908 ceeded to tell Carol and I all about the Irishman Rally which was based in Fairley and in Iain and Eva Gollan which they had recently competed. I told them at the time that I would be a keen nga-oki@xtra.co.nz starter to enter the Dodge in the next Rally and Diane said that she would let me know 06 858 9105
when entry forms came out, which she kindly did.
Ruth Parker brparkrz@xtra.co.nz I left home trailering the Dodge behind our Winnebago Motor home and arrived in 06 858 5411
Fairlie on the Thursday before the rally. I was met there by my friend John who was going to accompany me on the Rally as Carol had commitments back home. We collected our rally pack on the Friday night and when we returned to the motor-camp we covered the Dodge up and went to bed.

At 7 00am the next morning, there was a knock at the door of my motor-home and on Sandra Cross opening the door I found it was my navigator John. He asked “have you had a look secross@xtra.co.nz outside yet?”. I did as asked, only to find that there was six inches of snow every- 06 858 9814 where. The Dodge was covered and my surroundings were an amazing sight.
