All Alloy Cup progress

[Steve Jones]

My Grandson at coming up 22 years old, can do all of those, Mike. In fact his skills are now far in excess of mine and he makes his living mending, restoring, improving and generally looking after pre-war (and some Post War) cars. He does do some work on Sevens but Rileys are his main work. He's worked on old cars with me since he was 2 years old but now that's evolved into his career and his knowledge, qualifications and experience far outweigh his age. He's already travelled Europe as well as the UK looking after customers competition cars and continues to do so. You'll find him running customers cars at VSCC Silverstone this weekend.

He's also not a bad driver and he now normally beats me when we compete together in my Ulster. That wasn't always the case but I put his performance these days down to him being 21 and me not!! VSCC Curborough on Good Friday and then the three events of the Manx Classic the following Thursday/Friday/Saturday are the first events for us in 2019 and we'll still be trying to beat each other as always. Double entering means that that will be the equivalent of 8 events in 8 days. Some cars don't do 8 events in a full season.

What could possibly go wrong
