Well, 3 and a half years after it was taken off the road to fix a minor lean the car is finally finished and was back on track on 1 July. If I do say so myself it's looking awesome.

Rally and Rallycross

As I have a bit more space on my site now I've uploaded some footage from the Lindisfarne Rally (see pics below) and also from the Cheviot Rally. We were marshalling at the Lindisfarne so all of the video is from one location but you just gotta love the sound of the cars, especially those 6R4's. We moved about a bit for the Cheviot so there's action from a few different vantage points, including "the yumps".

Durham & Derby RS Owners Club Track Day at Croft

Old Skool Track Day

Had a great time down at Bruntingthorpe with the lads. As I don't have the V8 back together and as Ricj was concussed from Tango's boot lid falling on him, we went down in the 944 and I took that around for a laugh. It went surprisingly well. I also blagged a few pasenger rides in Shaun's Mk1 Escort Cossie, Hugh's Westfield and Dave's Mk2 RS2000. Cheers lads Click Here

Durham RSOC Track Day / Show

Then last week we all went along the Durham RSOC Track day/Show at Croft.

We arrived the night before to allow time for preparation (beers) and an excellent day, and night, was had by all.

If you go to the Track Days section you can view some videos of the cars on track. Keep a look out for the Lamborghini!!

Cheers
