The Phoenix Car Club May Drive and annual Autotest started from the La Torre Hotel in Los Montesinos and the route took the participants to Pedrera, Torreaguera, Torremendo, Rebate and San Miguel before finishing at the Mirador restaurant in Eagle’s Nest, Villamartin.
It was here that the annual Autotest took place and 12 eager drivers pitted their wits and driving skills over a course with five tests which included dropping a ball in a bucket, parking forward and reverse nearest a pole and reversing over a mark.
The winner, driving a Mk 2 VW Golf, was Norman Gomm with Alan Fullalove second in his MGB GT and Ian Smith third in a Mercedes SLK.
The club’s next drive will be to Redovan where they will join in the Jaguar Enthusiast’s Club celebrations.
