Gary,

I'm on the 16:00 Oban - Craignure ferry on Friday 11/10.

We'll be staying at the Highland Cottage in Tobe.

Give me a shout if you want to meet up for beer.

Alternatively, look out for a blue STi UK with Numptie stickers.

Gary,

I'm competing although sadly not in a Subaru! We're car 21, a white & blue Nova looks like this......



Come and say hello - we stay in me Mum's house next door to the Western Isles hotel which you can't miss. If you see us upside down in the river (as 2000) help us back on our wheels please.

hope to see you there

Duncan

PS Edited to say that I'm the Jolly Big Nice person (Numptie) and for Alec it's a week on Friday 11th to Sunday 13th. Bring a torch, ski jacket, brolly, midgie cream and suntan lotion. And enter our competion on the Team Brown's Website.

Is anybody going up to Mull for this years Rally.
I'm stopping at Glengorm Castle near Tobemory.
Anybody want to meet up ,for a pint and a chin wag.
Cheers
Gary

 

I'm interested, beautiful part of the world.

When is it?

Cheers

Alec

 

Aye, I'm planning on being there.

Details here.

I haven't booked accommodation yet though although a jolly nice big person who'll be competing has told me I can stay at his mum's hoose

 

Word of warning guys!


If you want to take your car on the Ferry, better get your butts in gear.
When I booked a week ago there was no space on the ferry Homebound on the Sunday.....

 

Im going over on the 16.00 oban ferry too,(DBM my00),staying in the "luxury camping" sheilings,just by the ferry,are a wee bit draughty,but after a few cans ,shoulnt feel a thing (only cost £28 a night as well,and i think there are still some available as i only booked last week)

regards

dave

 

Yep,
My second year compeating (co-driving)Mull is a Must !!

Just getting every thing together now ready for next week
We are car 42 this year, come and say hello

Us last year on a different event

 

Wish I was going this year

It's now 32 years since I first went for the rally (yes I was very young but my Dad won it for the first few years it ran so I had to be there!) and I really miss being in the Mac every October for a few drams!

Mike

 

Guys,

as well as the main website - there quite a decent chat going on at the British Rally forum, especially around the very competitive 1600cc class - see HERE

 

Ill be there servicing for cars 76 (Corsa 1600), 152 (Nova 1400) and 154 (Evo 4) so gonna be busy.

Im staying in Glen Aros area and will be travelling up on Wed (all day!) in a big blue sherpa van.

Its gonna be a long drive! especially as Im going via Lochline not Oban :-)

Anyone seeing the green and white Dukeries MC EZ-Up come over and say hi. Be at all service areas (hopefully) and supporting the bar in one of the pubs in Tober on several nights probably.

Paul..

 

 

update....

There's THREE WRC Imprezas in the top ten, Neil McKinnon (10-times winner) has hired one from McKinstry and both Paul Kirtley and Stuart McQueen will be using cars they've just bought. There are nine other Imprezas competing and a raft of Evo's, so we'll have to peddle hard to keep Norma the Nova up with them!

Duncan

 

If youre having trouble with ferries, a cheaper option (abbeit slightly longer) is to go via the Corran ferry and then Lochline to Fishnish instead of Oban - Craignure.

You dont have to book for this ferry - just turn up and wait and the road across from Corran to Lochline is wonderful. Did it in a 3 car convoy, Scooby, Golf GTi and Cupra last year and we made a fair bit of progress :-)

 

Whats are my chances of finding SUL once i'm passed Glasgow?

Cheers

Alec

 

SUL at Balloch station Esso.

 

Take octane booster , or you should be able to scrounge some off the rally boys.
Numptie ,I'm on the 12.00 ferry from Oban.
Will be in the pub at Dervaig on Friday night and Sat night.
Will be in STi 7 (blue) with Hypnotic window sticker.
Cheers
Gary
PS Hope all who enter do well and all who watch enjoy.

 

Aye, okay doke Gary - probably see y'around.

 

So who won the competition then ? (The time was 2h 40m 54s, IIRC, my guess was 2h 41m 59s )

... and when ya gonna update that bleedin' website ?!?

Nice to meet Dave on the ferry (I was surprised we didn't bump into you again over the weekend)

Nice to meet Gary in Tobe (hope your weekend improved mate )

I trust everyone got home safe

 

Now!

So the winner of the competition was....














NUMPTIE!!

well done mate

He wins a pair of www.teambrowns.co.uk T-shirts, a sticker for his car (all of which he was presented with at the weekend) and a signed photo of teambrowns in action (which he'll have to wait for).

Photos of the winning entrant in his T-shirt and his be-stickered STi please????

full website update later

nice to meet rallymarshal the the finish, thanks for the sticker, it'll be on the car next event

Duncan

 

 

Remember this ?

 

Assume thats you on the right with your son on the left??

 

Good to meet you too Numptie.
As for the weekend.Nightmare is not the word.We went off on the way over Mishnish locks ,late on Sat night, due to spilt diesel on the road.Luckily the car was completely un damaged after going 30ft off the road and down a ditch.Had to make a report to the Police about the problem , as several other cars went off on the same bend.
Still no harm done, will be back next year.
Worse was to follow when I got home,someone had reversed into my Porsche whilst it was having new speakers fitted.Estimate £4200.00
Think I should do the lottery this week for sure.
Cheers
Gary
