OK, so as I recently mentioned I spent the morning with Luke at his Rally Experience Day.. Now anyone that knows my brother will know that he is a little accident prone – a rally day perhaps not ideal you might be thinking!

Anyhow the first thing that the instructors do is get all the drivers kitted out in some heat proof jump suits and sit them down for a safety briefing. They tell them what to do if they roll the car or stack it in some other fashion, etc, etc. All worrying stuff – many places for Luke to have a “moment”.

So Luke sets off in the car for his laps, with us all thinking that would be the last we ever saw of him but he came back in one piece! And so did the car.. amazing.

We decided that during the wait for the second half we would go and get a coffee from the cafe (him still in his jump suit). He is standing there with his hot coffee and he said “this steam is really irritating my eyes”. Looking down at his coffee he notices that he has set his leg on fire!

So all the danger and all the safety briefing didn’t help in the event of a gas heater in the rally school cafe… we laughed so much!!
