..his navvy.

they came 56th overall on the tour of mull rally from a start of 160 entries.

Well done guys

 

 

 

Well done Dayle & Tony

How did Martin get on????

 

Martin got 36th (I think).

Had a power steering pipe rub out on his gearbox and blow on the 4th last stage and dropped him down a few places but he was still happy as could be apart from the sore arms

 

Well done boys.

 

tony should of used my car.

 

Dont think that Dayl'es arse could have coped with it Tim, though that might have more to do with sharing a room with Tony rather than sharing a car

Dayle done amazingly well and wasnt off the pace all weekend to be fair to him just got to practice his drinking some more

 

Congrats Tony, good performance

Any events you need some pit crew for?

Si

 

Well done guys

 

Well done Tony

 

Happy with 56th as the car was poorly and unusually using more water than fuel

David is being moddest as ever as he and his mates were part of the team - being out and about sometimes at 3 or 4am just waiting for me at the end of the stages with water and fuel

Biggest and hardest event of the year for us and we took 3 crews over and all came home safe and sound unlike some

Got stopped on 1 stage whilst they recovered the crew out of an EVO 8 infront of us, car was almost unrecognisable and ended up about the size of a mini

Massive thanks to Dayle for being spot on in the left hand seat, keeping me sober, steady and calm and out of the ditches... something the chase car crew need to practice for next year

Always a relief to get this one out of the way and park the car up safe and sound at home again..... not everyone does.

Scary pic of it


Ogg's Poorly Pug


Something about it draws you back year on year to compete on the best event in the world

See you there next year Tim

Si - we are always looking for help - Dayle is out again this weekend in the woods in Wales somewhere, he's just got time to wash the overalls then it starts all over again

If we are down your way I'll give you a shout a few weeks before - and we would gladly welcome extra help

 

Oh and its not all about motorsport, being sponsored by Tunnocks they have a teacake eating competition - the winner this year did 22 in 4 minutes... we are already practicing on that one for next year

 

WHAT CAR DID YOU GUYS USE??

 

I only have the one in my sig a 1600cc Mk3 FWD Escort (car 137)

MEF was in a semi Gp A Subaru (car 101) and my other mate Adge was in a similar spec White Subaru (car 145)

We beat my mate in the white one and he had 300bhp - but it was his first time there

 

Well done guys

Tony's a top guy

 

I'm ready whenever you are Tony Anywhere within a days driving is within reach! Although if you want to fund my expenses I'll join you on a Safari rally or Cyprus etc

Keep me posted and I'll see you there - I make a crappy cup of tea, but know how to wash cars, wave basic spanners around and can navigate so could prob find you wherever you land up!

Si

 

Looking at the marks on the road where the Subaru went off it must have barrel rolled at least 4 times

Here is a pic of Pete's Escort 10 seconds before his




We always look forward to having cars at the end so we can take this shot for the sponsors



Crappy tea is fine Si Thats why we like being sponsored by a pub

 

Car 2 just about surviving what car 50 didn't (went off in same place)

Well done mate great result, I would normaly say the mk2 owner must be gutter but i think we can all see by that picture that he quite clearly is

Would love to do rally just costs way to much money

 

I think he was gutted yes.

Here is the 3 of us over 1 of the 40 odd bridges on the event.

Adge in his P1

 

 

Well done fellas , thats a superb result

 

Is Dayle trying to hide? Can't blame him really - that's some good air!

 

More than likely dropped his chocolate biscuits again Si

Going up the 'steps' (in the vid above) I actually had 1 hand on the wheel and the other hand waving out of the side window at the 000's of speccies.

Part of where my name comes from

 

what the hell was the roll cage on that subaru made of??!!!!!!!

next time you guys are coming over to ireland again let me know.

would be good to meet up

 

Nice one



2nd

 

God Knows how high You would get Tony if the engine was running on song.
As I said before great result to bring the car home on probably the hardest rally of the season
Also can I add a big thanks to Dave and the lads for keeping the car fueled and watered all weekend at daft o clock times of the night sorry I never got time to say bye before I left the island.
Also a big well done to Tony and Dayle who where on the ball all weekend and did'nt give Me to much work to do in service.

 

3rd

 

Please dont give me jobs like that again when im hungover

 

Yep, Well done Great Pics

 

Hungover it was 5pm in the afternoon That was some hangover then

The pic of the Subaru is frightening yes, 6 point cages are not the strongest, despite hundreds being fitted and the occupants thinking they will be safe in all eventualities. Pics like that just prove that some jobs you should not scrimp on, a saving in the wallet is not always the best option, and fitting should be done by professionals if your not sure or confident yourself.

Some parts of some cages are designed to bend to cushion a heavy impact - however accidents don't always happen as the rule book defines, and although simon suffered cuts from flying glass he was in this one very lucky and was back out spectating Saturday night.

Love the Irish rallys sean, so a meet up on one would be good

 

Awesome result -

 

Hey Folkes well what can i say it was a superb event and im almost recovered still got whiplash from them bridges although this weekend hasnt helped either!! Thanks to Tony for letting me sit with him again i had a awsome time it certainly is something different over there but loved every minute of it. Thanks to everyone else too who came to help

 

Well done Dayle matey

 

Sorry about the whiplash from the landings

Anyone looking for a navigator for the sport, I can certainly recommend Dayle. He puts 120% into everything.

He took on the biggest most difficult rally in the UK, despite everyone around him telling him not too

 

Hows the car Tony????? Any battle scar's or she all in one piece

 

Well done both of you

some great pics there as well

 

Cool pics



You got anymore Tony

 

YA GOTTA LOVE RALLYING....
