Originals are 1600 x 1200, so I've sized these down to 640 x 480 for modem folk. My 35mm SLR films are ready tomorrow, so should have better shots with the decent zoom.

Here we go...

By chance we managed to meet the guys coming down from the Midlands on the M4, so could roll into the services to a few stares.



The crossing was a bit choppy at times - severe force 9 I still managed to watch all of Oceans 11 in one of the on board cinemas.



The Rum* Posse on the ferry



Some of us managed to find the right road out of Santander



The delightfull historic and charming town of Lloret - ha hah



Thanks to Sal, four of us managed to gatecrash a tour of the Mitsubishi team workshop. Thanks Sal



These APs have fully mapable water cooling.



Zorst anyone? Yours for around £4000 Sir



We finished Tuesday afternoon by finding the SWRT guys packing up from testing and watching Citroen start their runs up the road which would also be used for shake down. We realised this once we driven down it between test runs and seen large amounts of rubber on the corners.




A quick bit of recce work - this is the hairpin Panizzi had his fun on, minus the hoards



Wednesday saw us getting in the way of the SWRT folks at their base camp. Thanks to Pete Croney for organising our visit.




An early start on Thursday took us to shakedown





Friday was an even earlier start. Worth it though as Camp Subaru was formed:



Amazing view from our position



Understeer anyone?





Some of the Super 1600 cars sounded superb, even this little Suzuki



Don't ask!



Camp Subaru moved up the stage a little for the afternoon re-run



Being a bunch of lightweights, most took the decision to visit the service area on Sunday to avoid yet another early start.



It's good to know you get Max Muppets in Spain



Rubber anyone?



Anyone know this bloke?







We followed the crowds down to the hairpin on Sunday. Crack of dawn start again, but oh yeah, was it worth it.



Camp Subaru returns






Some couldn't cope with the pace...




The Rum* gang make it back safely to the ferry after a great blast across Spain. The number of times we got asked on the ferry back if we'd won...

 

Exellent photos mate looks like you all had a cracking time,
Im going to make the effort one day

 

Excellent photos - BTW what camera did u take those shots with?

 

Cheers guys. The trip is highly recommended.

Canon Digital Ixus - the original one, about 18 months old now. I'm really looking forward to getting my SLR shots tomorrow - the power of decent zoom lens.
