You`re Right!.....You`re Wrong!  But ya had a go and are getting very warm!

Another Hint....neither USA, UK nor France picked up a trophy. None of them even got one trophy, despite their best team efforts!   (popcorn)

Apparently I may be one of only a few excited by this motorcycle event, but tis definately a motorcycle event, so not the Tour De France, sorry.

ummmmm.....To minimise the risk of boring yawn/s icons, I will annunciate the breaking news answer, tomorrow morning. (about 9 hrs from now, if not cracked beforehand)

Oh,....... the Country that won the Men`s Trophy?...... also won the junior trophy and the women`s trophy and no they are not young transvestites.

Winner receives a non transferable free accom package for our next rally if they live overseas, or a free T shirt if it`s an Aussie attendee!  :drinks:

Well. We are back from California on the 22nd of Feb, ( or thereabouts) so that gives me three weeks of work before another holiday. Sounds about right. A seed has been planted. John
