Here is Europe, if you drive historic rallies, you are often not allowed
to use modern distance meters like Brantz. So everybody is falling back
mainly on Halda's. And of course the older the better. Rather the
aluminium case than plastic. It's sort of a status as well.

There are more `of us' as you think, the figures you named are a
fraction. Even here in Holland there are about a 800 -1000 who do rally
driving…………..

Here a famous one, http://www.tulpenrallye.nl/
