Fastest Jogle

[Steve Jones]

Steve White and his Brother in Law, Steve Fathers, did the fastest time recorded in 15 hours 27 mins in 1997 in a Gordon England Cup built specially for the job. They had it organised down to the last detail with, for instance, chase cars paying for their petrol after they left filling stations and maximum use of motorways. I seem to remember that the only real issue they had was a failure of the change over tap between the front and rear fuel tanks. Without the time that that lost, they were convinced that a sub 15 hours was possible. At the time, their achievement was well publicised but not long after someone worked out what their average speed must have been (and actually was) and publicity was quietly dropped for fear of adverse comment! Both still around the A7 world.
