Well, i am home, cant sleep at all so here are some of my favourite shots from the TBird Rally, I am a lucky SOB being able to do this and having such great friends over in Seattle.
Its hard to believe just 12 months ago i didnt know either Jamie or Richard, amazing what friends you can make from a meeting aranged on the internet because of a common interest in Subaru's and Motorsport. I hope you enjoy the photo's.

Just after tech inspection, it's -12 celcius, bit nippy.


On transit to stage 1


Yes Jamie, stage 2 is next up. (my favourite shot of the rally)


First stage day 2


Startline for the frozen lake ice racing track


Pre-Final stage of the rally, Camera in hand as always


Some of the stunning scenery of British Columbia, wish i was back there now, the photo's cant do it justice.


RangeRover crossing the suspension bridge, about the only time it wasnt off track all event!


Start of day2 fueling up, Jamie still with camera in hand.


InCar on the Frozen Lake Ice racing course, that was a lot of fun.


One of the faster sections of a TBird stage, one of the few oportunities i had to take a shot during a stage.


Waiting to start one of the regularity stages on day 1.


Another pre-stage shot, Jamie out taking photos as usual.


In transit to the start of the next regularity, even the transit roads were ice and snow covered.


Running alongside yet another frozen lake on the way to stage start.


The oposition Richard Squire and Glenn Wallace running car 1


The office of a top TSD rally Team.


Phew, we finished the rally in one piece and had a huge amount of fun along the way, i think the smile sums up the weekend, it was a lot of fun and an experience i will never forget.

Why do women sit so close to the steering wheel ????
Is it one of lifes great mysteries ?

Mmm

Being 5' tall and perfectly proportioned may have something to do with it neil.

Short legs.

Yes, it was a fantastic time over in BC, we are already talking about getting together to do another rally as we worked really well as a team.

Jamie has a huge amount of potential and it seems we can trust each other in our indiviual tasks in the car, that kind of understanding is harder to come by than you would think, it would be great if we can build on that in the future.

Question

Checkout photo with caption "Startline for the frozen lake ice racing track" - looks like Jeremy Clarkson staring at you!

Managed to find one of me, forgot to give my camera to anyone.

This is just before i set off onto the frozen Lake driving Jamies RS. That was a good laugh. Richard is the brave soul in the passenger seat, Jamie wouldnt sit with me for some reason. LOL
