surely coatbridge isn't that bad? it's the drive you go for is it not? oh and by the way, surely someone from that area can come up with a few suggestions as to where we can go other than practically getting a map out!

has anybody thought about a plan for the night, think we should get some suggestions going early so we dont end up planning it on the night, heres mine.
hang around the showcase until everyone arrives, when were all ready, head towards lennoxtown, up the fintry road an have a wee diet coke in the fintry inn or head on further to kippen - stirling or kippen glasgow, what ever.
nice wee run, good combination of staights and bends to keep us all happy.

Bumped into trucker ted last week,he`s getting married,doubt we will see him again for a while!!!
I will sadly not be there this time cos we are really up against it trying toi get the car ready for Ireland.
All the best and have a good night.
PS thought i would attach below my latest news for the event in Ireland;
GMC-MOTORSPORT
Latest news 28th June 2003
Sligo stages
GMC-MOTORSPORT are proud to announce that our entry for the 2003 Sligo stages Rally in Southern Ireland has been accepted.
This has meant over the last few weeks the final adjustments to the suspension settings, gearbox re-build, chassis adjustments and some bodywork enhancements have taken place all to cope with the tight twisty lanes of this part of the world (and of course the jumps).
As a couple of rounds of this years championship have been axed we know there are quite a few people watching with interest what we think of the Sligo event as we know some of our fellow competitors have vented an interest in competing next year.
So far the event planning has consisted of having to wait until the entry was confirmed before booking accommodation. This itself was not really a problem until we found out that the weekend of the rally is also that of the marching season in Northern Ireland and this is the weekend that people who are not interested in this are moving south to the likes of Sligo for their holidays thus booking all the B&Bs, Hotels and Guest Houses.
Costs so far have amounted to an entry fee of about £280.00,ferry costs for van and trailer with a support car £450.00 (plus passengers in each). We also decided to upgrade to 1st class on the ferry as this separates you from those also travelling to the marching season in the North.
We will be travelling over on the Thursday morning for a couple of day’s holiday before and also after the event. This is also cheaper than staying the full week because of the way the ferries operate and charge.
The event itself consists of recce, documentation and scrutineering on the Saturday with the Rally itself being held on the Sunday afternoon. There are approximately 90 stage miles and 100 road miles, compare it to Otterburn but all crammed into an afternoon.
With an entry expected of over 150 competitors we will have to be on the pace from the word go and that is what we intend to do.The only problem we have is that we have no service crew to accompany us .We are hoping to ask for some help from other crews who have already said they will assist.
We will be back with one more update prior to travelling over to inform you of any latest information on the event and also the full entry list to see whom we will be competing against.

Might catch you all at the meeting point again as Tuesday is bargain day at the Showcase cinema, and if all goes according to plan I should just be comming out of the "2 Fast 2 Furious" about 7pm. If my plan as gone really well then I'll also tag along for the run, otherwise I'll have to head back to get Skye. Maybe going a run after watching that film might not be the best idea in the world :-)
