I remember Josh from the US Montana Rally Thats the rally where I never found the race track ,I thought the race started at the track but it started from the Hotel car park going to the track and Missoula has a complex set of roads for a UK country boy

I'm obviously wrong, but I thought you were on the EBR at the track.

No I had Bill M's white BMW I was going to chamfer the heads but everyone had gone I looked and looked and cry'd and cry'd

Sorry Tim, I guess I had to disappoint someone. The ride the day before was unseasonably cold. But we were very lucky that Summer as we had very little smoke. Next time you come we will go straight to the track! Just for clarification, it was Bob BonAto. Perhaps I misspelled it when I submitted the photo. Bob was a gent and I enjoyed getting to know him. He passed way too early back in January of 2015...

He was very proud of his Amanda too! Great guy and not a bad technician either!

Here he is swapping out his mag at the 2012 Rally in the Gorge

Site of the mag failure, true shade tree wrenching

Thanks for the corrected spelling Josh. I've now updated the original post.

 

[Bogage]

No problem Graham! I just saw it, that you for posting. I figured I would add a few more.

Any luck with the search function? I miss it!

Cheers,
Josh

@Bogage Any details on the Shelby Cobra in the background?

Behind the Amanda? It’s in the museum in Deer Lodge. The auto museum
