THERE WERE PLENTY of thrills and motoring skills on show at the LIME King Of The Hill motoring event yesterday.

The shakedown, from Hangman’s Hill to Lion Castle, St Thomas, was the final meet ahead of next weekend’s big annual Sol Rally Barbados.

Speeding cars and clouds of dust delighted the hundreds of excited spectators at the popular event.
