DAY 4 of the Rally

The sorry story of Jogle the Sheep has taken a surprise turn for the better.

After two kidnaps and a transvestite scandal, it seems an unexpected romance is in the air.

Following the kidnap in Preston whilst wearing a a cocktail dress and pearls, Jogle reappeared at Alveston Manor Hotel in Stratford – alongside a lady friend.

She goes by the name of Ewenice (Eunice, gerrit?)and has a pink body.

The pair have become inseparable in the back of the Alfa Romeo being driven by Richard Sykes and Simon Metcalf. (It has been suggested a bucket of cold water might help)

On day 5 they enjoyed the speed hill climb together and will be allocated to new custodians in the morning.

Meanwhile PR guru Max Clifford is handling all press inquiries about Jogle. There is talk of an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother alongside Silly Cows and Male Chauvinist Pigs.

Mystery surrounds the background of Ewenice.

There have been rumours of risqué photos being taken during her modelling days for Axminster Rugs.

Max Clifford said Ewenice had a unique background. “As far as we know she has never had a relationship with Calum Best,” he said last night.

On day 5 the weather forecast was not good – rain expected. The competitors set off from Stratford for the short journey to the Prescott Speed Hill Climb course.

All competitors and Guests were briefed and then signed on allowing them to drive or be a passenger up the hill.

Sandy Dalgarno, Bernard Simpson, Richard Fitton and Russ Ward, Racing school driving instructor, made regular circuits of the hill taking passenger for rides. Russ’s standard Ford Fiesta 1.25 proved that you do not need a fast car – only driving skill and know how to demonstrate speed and excitement.

Bernard thoroughly enjoyed himself, evidenced by his permanent broad grin, as he drove continuously up the hill. “I think he will go back to rallying” said his wife Barbara.

Graeme Rudd’s Lotus that broke down yesterday was repaired after one of our motorcycle marshals collected the required drive parts from a Lotus dealer in Bromsgrove. Graeme arrived at Prescott at 11:30 and immediately took to the hill only to find out that one of the rear wheels was lose, losing the drive to the rear wheels, a problem soon sorted out.

During lunch at Prescott we raised almost £3000 for charity with an auction of goods and promises.

As the cars left Prescott the clouds thickened and the rain that had held off during our hill climb adventures arrived and it was a wet trip to The Holliday Inn at Taunton.
