John

 

Cheers Guy's, looks like me and two others tomorrow eve, but maybe just me saturday, hence the 'bike' idea!!


ENJOY!!

 

Tony I have just read the prog and it says that the two stages on friday night are the only tarmac stages of the rally. So forget about previous thread it must be in the forest opp Christchurch ski centre so happy hunting!!

John

 

Friday night's first car goes at 7, in reverse order, so the better drivers are last, at 9pm. Best place is around the bridge, I think. Or stand on top of Harry Ramsden's.

I'm going to pop down in the black beast.

WRX plate in case anyone spots it

MB

 

Harry Ramsden is a good spot, sat there last year. Reckon the bridge is the best spot though but gets busy.

I'm off to the scrutineering soon to check out the Daihatsu Avanzato.

Stevie - If I see you there that'll be great If I don't - I hope you're not working too hard, see you soon!

Jen

MB

Mark, you could have given me a shout!

 

Just popped in for 5 mins on the way to David Lloyd Rich, didn't have long.

Followed one of McKinstrys cars on the way there. I could have taken him

Aren't you supposed to be at work?!

MB

 

I am at work, I had some weird MMS from some madman taking pictures of cars at traffic lights, how they had the time to take the picture, at some comments and send it whilst driving is beyond me....

chris

Roger Duckworth has won Rallye Sunseeker for the first time, but by the narrowest of margins! Driving a Subaru Impreza WRC and co-driven by Mark Broomfield, he arrived back at the finish in Bournemouth just six-tenths of a second ahead of runners-up Craig Middleton/Robin Hernaman whose Hyundai Accent WRC had actually been leading the event prior to the start of the final stage. However problems with the Hyundai's gearbox were to deny Middlwyon his first Kumho National Rally Championship victory at the last gasp.

The Retirements

http://www.tynecomp.co.uk/Results/Ku.../1/retire.html


The event was fantastic!!
Had lots of fun and saw lots of Scandinavian Flicks on the stages and inturn got hit by a few stones, saw lots of rallye action, got a bit cold.

The traffic and the chasos trying to park was bad! I say poor Organising by the officals! But in all it was a great event; hope to do the same next year!

 

We went yesterday - had a great day, although very tiring - we had to get up at 3.30am & didn't get home until 9 in the evening....

Great Day

Jen I think I passed you on the M3 on the way there (Me, Paul Palmer & Gossy in my stelth red mundeno TD )

Saw Diney but that was about it

Must get the car stickered up next year

And if the first stage on a friday again then its a firday night out in Bournmouth

 

I'll have some pics comming soon

 

Good day out

What happened to Marcus Dodd?

I forgot to bring my camera in to upload my pictures

 

Dodd stacked it on SS14 I think, or the end of 13. Must be gutted. I didn't actually go on Sat, just listened on Rally FM.

This was my first time at Rally Sunseeker and what a great day we had. We will definately go next year. Saw lots of Scoobs but only one Scoobynetter - Thunderbird 555. This rally is so much better than Rally GB - cheaper, much less crowded, better carparking and no need to get there at least 2 hours before the stage starts.

At our first stage Ringwood North we positioned ourselves at an ice covered right hand hairpin at the end of a long straight. About 20-30 cars must have hit the soft bank on the outside of the corner. We could stand quite close to the track protected by lots of trees and see all the action as the cars approached and left the corner.
