yes, my team is a late entry, i am not sure what number we are but we should be running top 10 of the fast cars on the road. Blue and Red Escort Cosworth with Blakemans Sausages on the side of the car. :D

cheers, I took a lot myslef and will pots them in gallary soon. We were running 10th car on the road. after stage 6 we were 4th overall. Sadly a bolt sheered on the rose joint for the steering track control arm and the guys retired on stage 7 of 8.

If we had stayed in that position we would now be leading the championship. Bugger, retired due to a £2 bolt failing!

We installed Proflex suspension last night and were setting that up during the rally, Huge diference in performance! Looking forward to the Quinton rally, we are back on the pace!! :D

John, I'm not stalking you ;) but PLEASE tell us your opinion about Proflex ! I live about 5 streets away from the Belgian importer/installer (found this out after 3 years :rolleyes: ) and I might consider a road/track setup from them.

Yep, I went (spectating).

Have just finished washing all the dust off the car (and that was just in the car park).

It's the first rally I have been to where I could wear a T-shirt and didn't get wet, though not too sure whether I prefer dust to mud.

Was on SS3 and SS7, decided to spectate on a long straight which seemed good in theory till the 000 car went past and it became very apparent that I wouldn't see a great deal once the car had passed, oh well, least it was a good place to hear the cars on full throttle.

I remember seeing the Blakemans car on SS3 and also seeing Andy Burton once (again :rolleyes:).

Visually the Focus WRC seemed to be the quickest, and boy did that thing shift on the longer straights.

John, does your sponsor supply lunch?

ScoobySnax, that pug 106 was it a dark blue one on SS3, this car went past on a downhill straight struggling to find drive. The clutch absolutely stank as it struggled passed.

John,

Be interested in your opinion of SS5 - Rainbow Hill. What did you think of the event and the stages used?
