A good day at Gatebil
As some of you might know it was Gatebil this weekend at Rudskogen (in Norway 
)
and i went there as i had won a trip with the white gp.A Escort Cosworth.
This one...
I arrived at 10 o clock and waited and watched some racing series.
12 o clock i got 5-6 laps with the car, i really don't know how many as i really didn't care..
It was good fun and the driver is pretty good and the car went well.. it was said 560 bhp and yeah, atleast some of them were still alive..
We had some good and wide laps around the track but he ran out of fuel and we had to stop
I didn't get the chance to be co-pilot more but it was well worth the trip.
There was a lot of other cool and big bhp cars there, for example the RS500, various Cosworths, some beemers, some jap cars etc etc..
The Escort WRC was also there..
But not in a very good condition...
It will be rebuilt thou, and Gatebil had several fundraisers to get the car back on track..
The shirts on the car and stickers were sold to get some cash..
At 4 i had enough of cars for one day and went home to relax.. the fact that i only got 2 hours sleep the night before might have something to do with that but whatever.. it was a good day
And just so you lot can be jealous, here are a lot of image galleries..
Azzidos gallery

Automotor.no
Not just cars
And a video (it's all images but cool anywho)
http://vagner.jeje.je/filmer/haakon....ebilsept_1.wmv
13 megs.
And all my love goes out to the ones with copyright and stuff on the images.. but not in a gayLord way..
And yeah, this might a image of my trip...
If you car see a frightened passenger, well... then its me...
if not, sorry for bragging and using some others face and photo

he was low on fuel before we started and really low when we were done....

Yeah, you're probably right.. not tooo expensive. but then it's approx 350 km driving to get to rudskogen, and then it's all the beer you english drinks, and that's expensive...

Robhaugen: hope you enjoyed the trip while it lasted, sorry he went out of fuel so early, but there isnt anything i can control either unfortunaly.
the cromodoras on the white escort actually belongs to the owner of the wrc escort, and the wrc escort came to the event on them, but the owner of the white escort wanted to borrow them, so he had to put the 19 speedlines on.
and believe me, those rims are a mess now
actually going to norway isnt that expensive if you live near london or newcastle as the plane and ferry tickets arent that expensive.
And rent a wreck can help you a long way, and staying in tent is half the experience =)
actually last year on this september meet i slept in my old escort mk2, without a heater, and it was raining all the time, aahh i remember waking up, getting out of my sleepingsack and putting some nice wet ice cold pants on
This year it didnt rain, but when someone pulls out the wire to your heater
while sleeping in the back of a merc vito it gets really cold.
But hey, what is aprox no sleep, freesing and running around for 3 whole days when youre around such great cars and people
got warm on the saturday evening though
800hp supra "taxi". for 50quid you get the ride of a lifetime.
the old rs500 engine from the white banged up sierra now in a nice black sierra with a sellholm sequetial box
havent checked through all my tapes yet, but ill post up some more pics as soon as i find something more nice

Yeah, i really enjoyed the trip... Too bad about the lack of fuel but no one is to blame... except from Bossan
but it's okay.. got a few laps, had a laugh, wants to build a proper car now so all in all i had a really good day.
All this from Gatebil will be on the DVD? good..
