Seasons Compilationss 2025

It is with sadness we have to acknowledge the passing of Richard Gross. He was a familiar member of the All Wheel Drive Club in past times where he made a large contribution to the AWDC Southern Hill Rallies at Brighton and on Salisbury Plain in 1995, 1996 & 1997 where he created the excellent rally roadbooks. For several years from 2000 he competed in the Jean de la Fontaine and Plaines and Vallees Rallees in his distinct cut down Landrover. An accomplished engineer this was one of his many Landrover projects he completed in his spare time. In more recent times Richard could be seen with his camera recording the images at several of the French TT Rallies including the Rallye des Cimes, Jean de la Fontaine and Dunes and Marais. His photo albums of those French TT rallies can viewed on his Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011533113559...

Richard was diagnosed with MND (Motor Neurone Disease) and FTD (Frontotemporal Dementia) in October 2024. Richard leaves wife Angela and stepdaughters Amy and Charlotte, a family group that enjoyed many holiday adventures together. He will be sorely missed by all his friends and acquaintances. RIP Richard
