as I said we used to drive round for the 3 days covering upto 1200 miles. Not sure about transport from hotel to stage...you should drive but get up early to get to the stage as the traffic can be bad!

Work at M-Sport as a fabricator, so all being well when I go away I don't do that much- unless the cars get a little mashed!

Think you're gonna be best of driving to Wales- the stages can be spread out a bit, just follow the other bobble hatters! lol

I was away at a festival all weekend so didn't see but heard about it! Its not a nice thing to watch when you know you're probably gonna be fixing the things when they get back.

Yup they're worth a bob or two, if you goto www.m-sport.co.uk theres some earlier ones for sale.

I'm a Shell fabricator, I build the currents shells from the floor pan up, as a giant flat pack really! lol

No, its been a while since I went cos the prices got silly. Last time I went you paid per stage per car which was £7. Didnot matter how many people were in the car it was £7! We used to take 4 cars with 2 in each...makes sleeping more comfortable.

Yeah they have to be to travel between the stages.

The 06 and 07 models cost a "bit" more than them too. :wacko:

Crazy that a 2nd hand Focus is top end supercar money really...

Theres always different jobs up, you never know. I didn't expect to get a job there but I'm really glad I did.:cool:

I don't know that much about the Fiestas TBH. They don't have massive power but are very popular, often see them coming in as a standard ST then rolling back out all prepped..
