Afternoon gents!

I just need to find out if next years is being run in Bastia or Calvi as the 6 hours driving from my mates house started to get a bit much even if it was free!
We put over 1000 miles on our 206 Hire Car in 4 days ....... This killed the Gearbox (which started to graunch using 3rd gear), the clutch became juddery - we used all the oil in the engine (which started to rattle a lot), and removed a goodly proportion of the tyres ....... Top bombing!

I did 1,150 in two and a half days doing rally GB this year in my lease car It went back like this









The driver picking it up marked his sheet as "very dirty" for the condition of the car

He did ask me if I'd been rallying then he saw the stickers still in the windscreen

I was there. It was fantastic.
Met a lot of nice peeps, enjoyed the VIP treatment from the SWRT and of course the twisty roads up the mountains in the pug 206.

Will sure do it again. Watch out for the article in True Grip.

Hence the gearbox and clutch problems ...... oooh and I forgot the brake pads smoked a bit .......

We averaged less than 40mph despite having it heeled over most of the time .... awful if you were in the back!
