Warren Chmura

A packed congregation, with standing room only, said their final farewells to that well known historic rallying personality, Warren Chmura. Warren died recently whilst competing with his wife Jean on the Moroccan Challenge.

Over a number of years the couple worked at their rally craft, with Warren mastering the complexities of his pink Citroen both by attending to all his own preparation work and acquiring the driving skills such a car demanded. This ensured they always stood out in the crowd.  Warren and Jean had been bitten by the rally bug after watching Le Jog set off from Cornwell where they lived and the rest is history. 

Over 100 HRCR members attended the funeral in Truro which took place on the 3rd of December. Mike Harrison gave a short résumé of Warrens rallying activities. Many of those attending had travelled very considerable distances to get there, some in their rally cars.

HRCR at Classic Motor Show

The HRCR exhibited at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC Birmingham over the weekend 13th to 15th of November and are very grateful to Quinton Motor Club, who kindly agreed to share some of their stand space with the HRCR. Continuing the Mini 50th Anniversary theme, the Mini Coopers of Clive King and Geoff Twigg were on display. 

The HRCR staff on the stand were kept busy all weekend with numerous enquiries from prospective new historic rally competitors and signed up a good number of new members.  It was also good to chat with existing HRCR members who were visiting the show.
