Yeah the skoda was going well won the Reivers and came 2nd in the nationals. If Bogie hadn't had to retire i think he would have bet him in the Reivers.

Ok if i put a few pics up that i took? They are nothing special but a few not bad ones at the start an charterhall

Yeah the c2s just sound so good almost s1600 ish. That was the 1st time I had got a look around one. Yeah civic had a visit to a hedge somewhare near the start of Abbey But a bit of duck tape an it was running again.

Would love to go over to the Ulster again but with the Merrick an Mcrae the month after can't see it happening.

Just got a better grip off the tyres than expected when he booted it and forgot the ALS was on

Pushed the intercooler back and scratched the bonnet thats all

Retired from the event later on during the 2nd run through Abbey with 2 punctures and only 1 spare.

Those who say Hyundai are looking shit should just see the Accent. Always loved the Accent WRC, as well as the Skodas.

Nice pictures Paul

Saw a little bit of action on stage 3 of Sunday down on the corner at Charterhall, we were stuck in service all day but still a good laugh.

Graeme got 2nd in class and 51st place overall in the wee 106, caused some damage after a heavy landing at Swinton Crossroads and pushed the rear quarter in at some point against a bale but no major drama to contend with. Spent most of the day just checking the car over and cleaning the windscreen when it came in.

Some pictures here - http://www.ecossepix.co.uk/Rally2008...s/index30.html

A bit of incar from Andy and Lee in the WRC Skoda

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcbyK10P9vk

The white car they were trying to overtake was the last car in the international field, and they were set off 5 minutes behind him on that stage !!

at a guess they must have had problems with their car, or were they setting low times all day?
