Ok, you know best, I rally myself so what the hell would I know. You might want to have a look here... http://www.msauk.org/site/cms/contentViewArticle.asp?article=2590 ... before you turn up at your first Nat B event though.

need a non-race Nat B licence unless you're only competing on 12 cars or invited club clubman events ( he said it was road rallying he's going to do).

I'd ditch the lowering springs and fit a sumpguard otherwise your sump will be trailing along the ground on some of the whites used by road rallies. You might find a decent set of spots more useful than an induction kit too, especially as you have to pass a noise test before (and sometime...

here's this weekends Clio rally action.... Clare and Sarah... won their class :clap:

Is the 197 Halfords a special edition model?

he says you're not that attractive yerself :rasp:

Some other pics I've taken....

Here's my terrapin.

Noooo that's not my car (too clean) and it's not me driving. It's an N3 spec (i.e. not very modified) car usually driven by Clare Samuel but on that event it was driven by Graham Samuel. Last weekend I spotted another Clio on a rally :eek: and here's one of mine after a rather speedy...

Dukeries Rally last weekend, Sherwood Pines forest

from last weekend.... and then sporting a remodified side after a slight excursion :eek:

Andrew's car looks unusually clean and tidy there, it's normally covered in dirt with bits hanging off! He's just entered the Quinton rally in July if anyone wants to see the car ;)

apart from the fact that the bikes go 200mph with the spectators at the road side and rally cars rarely go over 100mph (stage average speeds of the top cars are usually 60mph ish) and the spectators are generally in controlled safe zones. Yes some rally spectators go to other places but these...

I used the Nikon 50mm f1.8 at a gig last week....

yeah that's the one, the driver was rather sore yesterday, not surprisingly!

On the first run of that road (when I wasn't there!) an Impreza WRC took that jump at 140mph according to it's telemetry... it flew for 61 metres :eek:

Aye, went up Friday morning, did a bit of a recce of the stages then watched Friday night and all weekend :)

Guess who was watching from the field ;) Have a look at these too :eek:

You've still got your lights on then? :rasp:

No, I'd never fit in it with all the bars he's got across the doors!! My friend Shelley co-drives with Andrew sometimes, they finished 2nd yesterday, here's a piccie, more on www.shelleyrally.com ;)

Burton's current engine is based on the production 24V Cossie engine that was in the Ford Scorpio, the engine he used last year was from an Opel DTM car... it's the body panels that are from the ice-racing car ;) I should've taken some pics, my Clio was parked next to the Pug Cos at his...

Definitely, it took us less time to get back on the A and B roads than it did getting there by the motorway :o The forests aren't too bad either! My passenger did the rally in the Peugeot Cosworth, finished second overall :race:

I was parked in front of a Clio on stage one on the Friday night and then saw the same car again parked up near the start of the first Kershope stage on that nice bit of twisty road :) Bloody hell does this mean I've finally been spotted :eek:

Nikon D200 with 70-200 lens on and a flash gun as it was rather gloomy :dead:

Here's one for you Alan, proper dirty now after a few miles in the forests of South Wales yesterday :eek: I reckon the two-tone graduated black to white look could catch on.

Brilliant, as it usually is on the island! Colin McRae was amazing to watch: while this jump provided plenty of photo opportunities

I washed and waxed it about a month ago... but then I drove it round Kielder forest :o

I was over on the IoM for the Manx National Rally so took a few pics of my car while I was there :)

Try tinkering with the headlights on your new car, they appear to have got stuck on main beam :rasp:

Did you see us then?! Brilliant rally, excellent route, and we got 3rd overall and first in class hurrah :o
