Picking up form Hilton IOM last night and 4 blokes were looking for a lift to the pub. 'Sorry booked I said' and the reply was 'What not even for the driver who avoided hitting you are you flew out of Stan Coopers chair at Bishopscourt Sunflower Race in 1994.
Non other than Charlie O'Neill and Gerald Cushnahan!
I remember sliding along on my back looking at Charlie heading straight for me, how he missed I will never know. He tells me that my eyes were quite wide looking at him and praying he would miss. One lesson I learned the hard way was not to try to stand up until you have come to a stop....especially at 40mph because the resulting ar$e over head really hurt.
Lovely to see them both though.
