Space to prep and deciding best car

So, garage/workshop first.
Then assess condition of second Bagheera as a "unique" preparation to match the RAC entry.
Still looking for A110 at reasonable price - they're CRAZY money

Finding a nav - trying to convince daughter

Last rally brought some things to a head as mate wasn't too happy with me urging him on, but he was just NOT aggresive enough in some of the stages.
Hardest thing switching from driver to nav is trying NOT to drive the car the way you would. I'm a more aggresive and 'unstable' driver than Iain on loose.
He seeks the 'race line', I'm "old school" and think that if the wheels are in the same tracks as the front then it's slow. Either locked up, sliding into corners, or scrabbling on full throttle exiting - good enough for Roger Clark. may not always be as fast, but a helluva lot more fun

What I dont' need at the moment is ANOTHER car - soon be up to 7 !!
A610 not a contender on UK rally events, great track and continental road events.
Bagheera a possibility.

Then reminding myself that I can't nav AND drive, so would be giving up a LOT.
For the unacquainted, the nav/co-driver can make a rally winner of a mediocre driver. Never the other way round.
