Pity about the rain

Just got back...awesome show as always but what a nightmare of a day ive had

Got up late, then the car decided it would not re-start in the services which made me late meeting up with Marco (Sorry mate) ive got a fault on the fuel pump or immobilser i think, then i left the sunroof open and the car was pi55 wet thur when i got back and now my fans are stuck on perminant but thanks to some advice off DazC it will be all sorted tomorrow

Glad to see all the old faces & nice to meet peteh even thou we were standing next to each other in the pi55ing down rain Even had a good ol chat with Matthew Wilson

Car of the day for me was the red Mk2 escort with teh silly picnic table on the back,watching him and Mark Higgins drift in the wet s bend on Dave's corner was awesome

Top photo's

Great to see the Andrews Sierra of Russel Brookes/Mark Lovell still looking original.

Met the late Mark Lovell once, was a really nice bloke to talk to.

Also some great isle of man tarmac videos of those cars as well

I went down with some other 106 rallye owners. Some great cars there.

My photos are on my photobucket account here:

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v302/kik106rallye/

I got some pretty good video clips, including one of a Sierra Cosworth spitting flames, but I'm not sure how to post vids.
