Another good one Hamish!

Here's my grandfather in his home-built grass track special, named "Girl Pat" after a trawler that was 'hijacked' by her captain, who seems a "bit of a character": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Pat

The photo must date from between 1936 and 1944, when he died. I haven't been able to find out anything about his car or his racing exploits around Herefordshire.

Brilliant stuff Hamish although I’m not sure about the commentary, “Bottoming is not just something you get on an Italian tram” …..very non PC and I loved it.
