This Saturday if any of you are brave enough to battle the cold weather here is the link http://www.wyedeanrally.com/

Id be there if it wasn't so far away. I'll be up at the Snowman the week after though, and then we'll be out on the Malcolm Wilson and then the Border Counties, Pirelli International, then maybe try our hand on the Jim Clark Reivers....Greystoke after that, then The Merrick, followed by the Pendragon, Grizedale, Galloway Hills and the RAC....so if you venture up this way, be sure to cheer us on

what do you drive/ sit in martin? i might be heading down to the dean, great event to spectate on and always a good entry, anyone from the midlands fancy going and share the derv then give me a shout, be a early start sat morning though

[Martin]

We run an N10 Prodrive Impreza and a S1600 Puma mate. Will be the first time in the woods in the N10 this year though, only done 2 tarmac events in it so far after trading the classic Impreza for it last year.

Personally I love the Puma though, an awesome little car, but needs more power to be truly competitive.

cool maritn, do you mostly run up north then? im helping a mate of mine this year running a darrien in the british tarmac champsionship this year so will be venturing north will be good fun furtherst north ive been for a rally pervious is leeds!

[Martin]

Yeah we stick to our own area really (north west England/south west Scotland), although we do venture down to New Brighton for the Promenade Stages....that's where we blew the Scooby up last year, only our second event in it, and it hasn't turned a wheel since, as we tend to use the Puma on gravel, but all is changing as we're getting the Scooby ready for the Malcolm Wilson on 3rd March and we blew the Puma up on the Roger Clark at the end of the year.

Just in case people haven't seen my other thread 'broken ankle' I have a damn good excuse for not attending this one - gutted ain't the way to describe how I felt yesterday (

[spudowen]

it was unreal on saturday, the stages where lethal, 1400's went through 1st and polished the surface to sheet ice, cars sliding all over the shop, was a good watch and fair play to all the drivers it looked impossible to drive in places!

[busterbilly70]

Gutted I couldn't make it

[spudowen]

loads of vids on youtube conditions were ridicoules, also the BTRDA is going to be on motors tv this year so that will be a good watch

[busterbilly70]

My mate was navi in car 0, Callum and Chris.....the times they set were good enough for 2nd over all, even running as car 0. Going to be a good year for those two lads.

I think they prop had the best surface though martin, some corners got so polished it was unbelieveable!

[Martin]

Yeah true.

I also done my usual jinxing of them too.....crashed on Sunseeker, burnt the car to pretty much a crisp, and now no car to continue the season. Chris is now looking for a seat
