May 1st, 2000,
42 cars started at London Bridge in England for an Around the
World Rally. In viewing the web site, I noticed that North American
route would stop in Billings for an overnight on June 26. A quick
email to North American Rally
Master John Bellefleur resulted in our organizing a reception
committee and arranging for mechanical repairs that might be
required. Below I have listed some site where you can see the
car that participated in the event and a site that give a day
by day chronicle of this amazing adventure by some of the most
interesting and dedicated car enthusiast I have had the privilege
of meeting.
For the Billings
Stop: Special thanks to Goggles & Duster group for help and
to all those who help repair participant's cars. Cars assisted
were Austin Healey (brakes). Pontiac Chieftain (starter) Porsche
356 (wheel bearing) Mercedes 190 (drive train). Additional thanks
to Rich Koehn and his crew @ Bumper to Bumper and Eric @ E's
Rods.
