Near Clacton.

Plenty goes on, but a lack of open venues is a huge issue. Most rallies in the south east are held on MoD land, so no spectators. The MSN Circuit Rally Championship visits Brands Hatch in January and Snetterton in February, but I don't think we are using that as a promotional tool as much as we...

And me. I really want a MK1.

Cheers bud. She's claiming trauma and my negligence and all sorts. Madness. Hopefully yours will be back to its best soon.

Bugger ?

Amazing how long it takes. Been almost a month since my Mondeo got hit. Mine was a definite write-off, so that was sorted pretty quickly, but I dread to think how long the liability business will take. Got a letter from her 'solicitor' claiming all sorts of nonsense, so I can see mine lasting ages.

Booked my ticket and a room in a local Premier Inn, as it's a four hour drive for me!

Lovely that. Still miss mine.

I will put my helmet in the car :p

Haha well, I would probably need to sell something else first, but it is tempting.

I'm still hoping to go, so will come and say hello Paul. Would like to take a look at the car too.

Yeah Pete was going very well indeed. He did have about 50bhp on our car too, which certainly helps, but he's a good driver for sure. I think the compact dimension of the Clio really go in its favour. It's a very small car for the class, so nice and light too. Just a shame that the gearboxes...

Love that! Think I might have to experiment a bit with camera positions, that's awesome.

Ah, you should have come and said hello. I was the one with the beard lol Yeah looks like you were going really well. Mat isn't super confident in the wet and hasn't really driven the car since last year, so probably not at his best. I think the width of the car can be a bit of a hindrance at...

We did wonder that but tried to, and even added an extra filter, but it just kept playing up.

Well done, sounds like you had fun. What pump are you running? My advice would be to ditch the Sytec stuff, it's garbage. My friend was running a Sytec filter and pump on his Escort and it caused us endless problems. Fitted a Bosch filter and 044 pump and it's never given a hint of bother.

Sorry that things didn't work out for you Nath, and that I didn't get to come and say hello. Didn't even get to see you out on the stages, as we suffered a few silly little problems throughout the day. Sounds like you were going really well though!

Great results Russ, nice job!

The sky will be a sadder place when the Tornado is replaced. Something so awesome about them.

I've got my water proof overalls all ready lol

Yeah it does seem to go well really. Last year was a shame. If it hadn't been for a bit of miscommunication and a stage maximum, we probably wouldn't have been far off a class podium. It seems to be getting fairly reliable now so here's hoping. Weight is the big one. The 1600 stuff can go...

Yeah will try and pop over. Not sure what time I will get there on Friday. Might be a bit tight to make the first car as leaving Essex at lunchtime. It's about 220bhp. Nothing too wild, but it's a gravel engine, so probably not running the wildest cams. Still seems to go fairly well though...

Looks well. Will keep an eye out for you. My mate's Escort has been on the dyno today for a check over. Looking forward to it now.

Ace pics. Would love to go there.

Couldn't have put it better myself lol

Good move. Nothing wrong with a few sounds!

I love this car so much.

Nice to see a (mostly) positive update on this. Keep at it.

Got 36mpg over the last couple of hundred miles in my mate's 197. Much of that was A-roads and duel carriageways, but a few short, stop-start journeys too. Seems quite reasonable for me for what it is. Yes it's worse than a 1*2, but it makes up for it in many other ways in my view.

Looking good Nathan. Looking forward to seeing it next week!
