Hi everybody,
My name is Les Dalton and I live in the beautiful region of the Charente in France.
I was one of the British Army rally ream members during the 70s/80s during which time I competed in 22 International rallies,most of these were in Landrovers,using several models.
The Allen Allard turbocharged air portable I used in the late 70s was phenominal,and was given the call sign of "Mean Machine" by my service crew,I dont know if any of you have driven a basic!!! landrover through a forest stage at over 90mph,but I can tell you it certainly is exciting.I was army champion 4times and Nato champion twice.
There is a photograph of me jumping about 3 feet in the air on a special stage of the Cheltenham Festival rally,you can find this in Allens book on Turbocharging and Supercharging,page 151.
I have some superb action shots from several of the international rallies I did,however,I am not sure how you post pics on this site.
Regards Les.

 

damn. and i thought hitting 50 on a sandy road in the middle of the Mojave Desert was fun. ill put that 90 through the forest one on my to-do list.

anywho, you are very welcom to the forums. to post pics you go to the Photo Gallery and make your own album. we'd love to see 'em.
