Was a great day out yesterday and I was kept busy to say the least lol!
Glad the car had no problems atall and performed second to none during the day... Gotta say I dont think it could have gone any better, Pushed when we had to and drove steady and direct.. 37th to 13th.. Not bad for a first blow up!

Thanks again to you lawrence your help was great!! As you said the team worked well no point in trying to catch car 1 and 2 in class as your talking 30k engine builds with 230bhp lol.
We were pedalling 3/4/5 to get away from the rest of the class then took it steady to bring it back and finish.
1st 205 home!!

Just watched to incar of mine from yesterday....
My misses commented that it was the slowest that she had ever heard me reading the notes!
Again, congrats boys from myself and Steve, plus it now looks like after our falling out with the BTRDA guy at scrutineering on Friday, we will now NOT be doing the MSA English, and so that means that hopefully both Down Ampney events are go!!!!!!!

The guy was a complete ass...
He was insistent that we remove the sponsored door squares and fit the BTRDA / Silverstone tyres ones, plus run a sponsor stack in front of it, plus remove the sunstrip and fit a BTRDA / Silverstone tyres one. In 2008 we ran with a small BTRDA registered crew logo on the car.
We point blankly refused, as we have sponsor commitments and people have paid to put there names on the car, plus we dont even run Silverstones, so why do we have to avertise for them! He also wanted us to remove the Khumo Tyres decals on the front bumper! That was what pushed both of us over the edge, and basically told him what we thought of the best rally championship in the UK being fooked up by having a stupid tyre deal with the shittest tyres in the UK.... Rant Over..... lol
So we are now going to pick and choose certain events through 2009, in hope that the poxy control tyres are removed for 2010!
Not seen Steve that angry for quite a while... There were few 'quite rights' heard from in the room..... lmao...........
Just to top it all off, when we were in the last emergency service before the drive back to finish, there were several crews registered for the championship, removing Dunlop and Michelin snow tyres and fitting the control tyres to go over the finishing line with....
