Epynt Rally

[M.C..]

Here are a few photos from yesterdays rally at Epynt.

Weather was awesome and it was a good day except for two bad crashes that needed two air ambulances, I heard today from a customer at work that one was his mate in a Darrian and he had to be cut out and he has a lot of injuries but should be OK not sure about the other bloke in a Fiesta R5 I think but I seen the car being recovered (all be it a long way away) and the car looked wrecked, also a sheep got it on the last stage by the course car, I am sure someone will have some nice Sunday dinners over the next few weeks

and here are a few of ian-speedy

LOL at FLK 1T
@gtrnav was there too.

Ive competed against Roger Hicks in FLk 1T in the past, the plate has been on a few of his different escorts over the years. That bloke just loves to drift! Heard he was going well if it wasn't for his excursion into the bails.

Clio looks tidy too.

still a but unsure of the millington proton with the filter poking through the bonnet.

 

[M.C..]

yeah he was pushing as you can tell from the car, just before the top pic was taken the bonnet decided it did not like being attached to the car with duck tape lol.

The Proton does sound nice though

Guys a mad man. Helped build a 200horse pinto engine at 13 on the drive lol. Then had the balls to learn how to drive it and then is a rally legend! I will enjoy that read with a cuppa later! Thanks a lot McGherkin, top man.

No worries, happy to share, especially with such a legendary car.

If one was tucked away how much would it be worth today? Lots of love from petrolheads for this car!

 

[McGherkin]

For a mk.2? RS2000's can come in at £20k!

It would take me ages to tell you lol , have a look here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?540049-newbie-with-a-clio-cup-race-car

Bloody fast event up there this weekend , was going ok in the morning but got left behind the last couple of stages , so everyone must have been going quite a bit faster , so I guess I do need more power lol

My last stage of the day

Rogers car above goes very well , on the tight rallies we can give him a battle , on the weekend he was taking a minute a stage out of me , it has a Vovlo 3.0 ltr engine in it , so bags of torque to pull up all those hills !

A few nasty accidents up there the weekend , which usually happens when its dry and fast up there , a guy had a head on into a tree and is in a bit of a mess , broken ankles , legs , hips , even bones in his back , real nasty bump

I'm off to Ireland tomorrow with my Impreza tomorrow , got a problem with it cutting out like a boost cut every now and again so hopefully we can sort it today
