[SEL] Sydney Rally

[Mick Christie]

You'v done well again patrick, i also noted you missed mentioning edd was 
there with the thompson tiger, how could you forget an engine like that! 
especially when Edd got up every 10 minutes to wipe off any little drops of 
oil that it may have got on it!
   Cheers
        Mick
