Good question John.
There will be an article coming up in The "Austin Healey Magazine" which
covers the event in all its gory details, however in part is says....
"and within 1 kilometer we went off the road when we missed a left turn at a
"T" at the top of a crest. One of the disadvantages of running a Healey in
this type of event is that the combination of long nose and low seating
position makes seeing the road ahead very difficult as the car crests a
hill, and it is that which caught us out."
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...
For those who don't get the mag I will post the article on my blog after
publication.

So...
Looks like you got an early start at mowing down your Christmas Tree.
Will we find out why you decided to "jump" the ditch in the first place?
I think I did something similar may years ago while skiing; something
about taking the best of two choices!
Cheers,
John
