A historic day has come upon us;
Someone has won in a twenty-year-old bus.
A bit battered & rough, black & white,
but I think you'll agree, it drifts just right.
Commiserations to Neil, I know
how he feels,
But it paid to keep snapping at his heels.
A beautiful car, his times were impressive,
If you ask me, I think they were excessive.
When Saturday night came, so did
the rain,
A spark of belief entered my mind again,
And then unfortunately Neil had to retire,
And from then on the saying goes,
"God loves a trier".
I'm sure you'll agree, between me
& you,
There's no better sound, than a flat out Mk II.
Calum Duffy,
October 1998.
