Top pics Martyn Any of us Car 6 lol

Good to see you again Jake

A nice steady clean drive today held us 5th o/a all day and we came home with a second in class award. Which is always a bonus

Cossie (18) went home early yesterday as Neil (driver) was working well with the car but the navigator took ill on the 19 mile stages at Mira and ended up on oxygen in the back of the rescue ambulance. Hes all ok now but it proved to him its not as easy as it all looks.

Even I was sick on this stage lol

A top event brought right into the local town centres for maximum publicity Well done to Motorsport in the Midlands

22 yards 1st time round lol and most of the photographers said to themselves we would back off a little bit next time as it looked a little too fast and dangerous lol....

Wound Adge up on the startline and to everyones amazement we cleared 33 yards the second time over lol Never put 2 drivers in a car together its dangerous lol

Gary finished 3rd o/a in the Celica Jake with the EVO9 in 4th and us in 5th, both very quick cars running wild anti lag.

Little vid of us all travelling back to the finish in Nuneaton



Couldnt do any on the stages sorry, I was a little busy lol

The throttle jacker on the EVO was annoying to say the least, and the fumes it was kicking out knocks you sick Stuart is doing the P WRC rounds this year. That takes a serious amount of money so the car is very well spec'd. Still gets on your nerves after a bit tho
