dragracingrocks,

I was speaking to lads in the service tent after the 12:30 session, one had shorts on. I was the bold good looking guy with the Subaru shirt on.

Had a cracking day, second year I've been.
Highlights of the day were the Damian Harty lecture and talking to the staff that are lucky enough to work in that environment.

Hopefully the charity has benefitted from the weekend, I know they ended up with a large chunk of my cash after the Saturday auction.
All worth it though.

Nice to know that some of the mechanics are active on the forum - are you all in Germany?

I thought that the rear spoiler was a bargain, a little c/f work and that would have been as good as new.
I couldn't believe what someone paid for Petter's gloves - £260 for the pair

I bought the tickets and hospitality package for Wales Rally GB - only 5 months to wait!!
