In spring 2004, BOO was one of 153 classic cars taking part in the HERO Irish Trial and Tour, taking in some of the most spectacular parts of the Emerald Isle. Navigator Andy Holloway not only did a splendid job reading the tulip map, but came in very useful when the wiper motor burnt out after three days of torrential rain. He didn't manage to fix it... but he pulled on the stings to keep the wipers wiping while Cauter drove!

All Cauter had to do was drive... Andy pulled the strings!
