merthyr charm
As most of you know i'm not backward in coming forward so when a good freind puts a thought in my head and knowing that he's not going to go for it then as small as i am look out i'm coming through
as most of us know there was a wrc subaru flying aroud chepstow race course on the weekend which was taking people out around a track it was only open to a select few of the the company that he worked for or it was a lot of money to pay for a ride for yourself when you have your boy with you and is already doing a good job of robing me blind but it was is 1st car show so what the hell let him have i thought
so when daz says to me go and ask him for a blast around the course
when he got out of the car for a drink i pounced on him asking about the car in turn him asking me about mine and saying that i'm with the south wales scoobys he told me wait there
and fair play as he came back he just started pointing at me telling me to get a helmet
well i've always had a lot of respect for a rally driver but now i think it's safely to say they are gods apart from seeing my kids come into this world this is by far the biggest buzz i've ever had
i study'd this guy most of the day (when i was'nt distracted by other things ) from the start he seemed to be giving it his all and when the tarmac ended before the apex of the bend and the gravel began he seemed to go faster and have more grip we must have hit a ton on the back straight and we were airbourne and sideways but i think what impressed me more than anything is the way that machine stopped in the dirt for the life of me i cant remember the guys name hope someone can remember as i think the guy should have a round of aplause
BIG THANK YOU FROM
RICHIE

not being funny mate but damien cole isn't much of a driver, loads better about and i've watched him on a stage rally and he's nothing special, seen a video of him from a few years back and a standard rally metro, not a 6R4 caught and passed him and he was in a ex wrc car!!!
