LLANGUA'S Steve and Caroline Wilks also successfully completed a rally at Pembrey on the weekend to secure a second in class in the 2008 Escort Challenge Championship.
In their MK2 Escort they have competed throughout the season at various venues against other Welsh crews.

The pair would like to thank their local sponsors, Keith Price Garages, ABC and Penbiddle Spa Systems.
