2016 Mini Cooper Register Northumberland Borders Rally

Hang on Stu - who's going to take all the pictures?

Good on you for getting out - I'm sure you'll thoroughly enjoy it.

I've done enough watching and after helping with the organising last year I thought I might have a go this year, it's about time I did.

By the way, Gordon has been taking some good pictures lately, so if Niall lets him off the leash we may get some good snaps.

Just popped by Davy's and saw the beast c/w RC40 sweet

PS can only let Gord off the leash if we get some more marshals

[surfblue63]

Just the dash to finish, probably do that tomorrow. Also might give the car a good thrashing as it needs testing. About 50 miles should do it.

Still in need of a few more entries for the event to run folks so can you get them in please!

And a "drone" for 'Combe ?? Actually Stu, we are in Hexham that weekend, so will come and cheer you on.

Good luck Ian.

Could do with help with the marshalling if you can spare the time? Free buffet for marshals at the finish plus you get to see Stuart and Davy drive past in 'knob'

We are coming up week begining17th Hexham monday, then I think curry night @ "The olde cross" Ryton with a couple of old muckers, I could be free for Saturday.

[cookie1071]

Yes Graeme we're good to go

If anyone else fancies a run out on the only competitive Motorsport event solely for minis though, we'd be more than happy to oblige

Best remove my wheel centres and tell Ali to tie down his Mars bar to keep the scrutineer happy

WTF Bernie always happy!

I remembered to pop them of Knobby whilst we had the wheels off. I'm not having any Mars bars as tying them may not keep them down

[cookie1071]

Still in need of marshals for this event - PM me for details. Minis, motorsport, free bait at the finish, what's not to like
