Big Wheels

Practically Sportscars magazine has described The Four Corners of the Apocalypse as the most gruelling classic car event in the world. They have also said that the Humley Major (that's the one with four doors, big seventeen-inch wheels, and the weird two point six litre, six cylinder, side-valve engine) is the most unreliable car in British postwar motoring history.

When Lester Forrest-East decides to enter his Humley in The Four Corners, he is ridiculed by fellow owners, and accused of bringing the Humley Owners Club into disrepute.

Then his wife backs out as his co-driver, and Lester's entry into The Four Corners, and his status as secretary of the Humley Owners Club, looks to be in serious jeopardy.

But on the bigendnearing.com forum, Lester meets Ray Singh-Green, a sixth form student with an uncanny ability to predict when cars are going to break down. Lester agrees for Ray to be his co-driver, and it is only after the rally is well underway, that Lester discovers just how much excess baggage Ray is carrying.

And to top it all, someone is planning sabotage.
