Advice for Newcomers

If you're new to this website, then it's not for the faint hearted. It's all about Scottish rallying for Scottish rally followers. However, furriners are welcome. But since we're all pals together up here there is much use of christan names rather than the more impersonal surnames. That's the nice thing about Scottish rallying, we all know each other. Incestuous or what? Never mind, it's a clan thing.

And it's not just about rallying. To try and maintain interest between events and gossip columns I have started to include Jaggy's very own car appraisals and opinions. This is an offshoot from his 'proper' job, but unrestricted by the demands and threats of other editors and employers, Jaggy can state what he truly thinks!

And finally, an explanation ....

The 'Culture' section in this here website started as a bit of fun. This was my project at my introductory 8 week evening class two years ago where I was learning to make websites. Apparently the other 'students' liked it, so I thought some of you might also find it interesting, entertaining and educational! And it's all perfectly true!!
