IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION AND FROM AN ANSWER I GAVE ON A SIMILAR TOPIC, IF YOUR CAR IS BIG ENOUGH, TRY INFLATING AN AIRBED IN THE BACK.(BACK SEATS FOLDED DOWN OF COURSE), YOU DON'T GET MUCH HEAD ROOM BUT HELL IS IT COMFY.

Hey Jay!

read the "top tips form vets" post - i'll look it out and bring it back up top so it's easy to find :)

anyone going up to car park Q on the friday night can u tell me how to get there and if i was u take a lot of warm clothes because your going to need them and as for the sox i wear more than one paer

see u there andy

Very cold and a couple of smelly portaloos. Not all stages had any food vans when I went so don't make the same mistake as me and take some food with you.

After WRGB i will have slept in my car 6 nights this year lol.
Just wind the front seats right down till they hit the back ones and bobs your uncle. Get yourself a sleeping bag that is meant for sub zero conditions and you will be fine.

Take a sponge or something to clean the inside of the windows in the morning as they will be very wet.

don't forget bog paper..

Noobs just don't how warm the GBRally has become. Back in the "Good Cold Days" of the RAC a foot of snow was normal in Cropton Forest in '93 (does anyone remember that?)

Tips:

- do sleep in a hat. Looks stupid, but feels great when you wake up
- don't be too ambitious about russling up a Full English in the mornings, more than likely you wont be arsed. Coke and Crips do the job just fine.
- do try to perfect the technique of partially unzipping your sleeping bag and urinating out of the car door, rather than having to "boot-up", leave your bag and brave the elements.
- if you get the choice, choose the side without the steering wheel.
- your gloves WILL get wet. Last thing at night put them in the bottom of your sleeping bag. The next morning they will be nice and dry and toastie.
- if you stand on a corner, do keep your mouth shut when a car goes past. The taste of Welsh gravel lingers in the mouth for days.
- in between stages, do take every possible opportunity for a "McSh*t"

Most importantly do enjoy the cars, do say "good evening" to peeps who wander past your car, do share beer, and remember that fireworks fly much better when aimed into air rather than people!

Definately remember the dunny role and a tourch incase you are a a few km from dunny dont want to squat on a thorn bush. Plenty of lager barbi and fireworks. Pillows always sleeping bag 40 blankets big buxxum lass.

has anybody got any tips for us ladies on how to piss out the door of the car? as we are quite challanged on the penis front , or do we have to brave it and actually get out the car?

use the portaloos, i challenge you to find one that doesnt have the seat covered in waz.

in between stages, do take every possible opportunity for a "McSh*t"

:D

The services on the M4 become a popular stop off for a wash with hot water and quick brushing of the teeth.

where can i get a 4ft smartie banner?

LOL. Got any mates handy with a paint brush!!

4FT SMARTIE BANNER - HOW BIG ARE YOUR SMARTIES?

LOL! Err can't think of a suitable answer to that question!!!!

Ps to canonlyaffordanescort I canonlyaffordanorian and thats a whole lot worse belive me, I loved my escort up to a couple of weeks ago bl***y electrics, changed every thing no joy. Even told problem was caused by my rather large bunch of keys!

Sorry about you escort, but with them its luv & hate. I've had mine a while and hated it as often as i,ve loved it. I,m consisering doing a paint job for the rally. Do i do it in smartie colours as it already rattles so i wont need to shake my tube.[see yesterdays threads]

Scoobycouple1 you asked "where can we get a 4ft smartie banner" try http://smarties.com don't sell banners but do sell large smartie towels! Sad but true!
