[SMOKE GREY]

Looks fantastic - good luck!

Have you fitted modern aero wipers by the way? Looks a bit like it in the first pic?

Cheers,

Chris

All plotting completed, maps sorted out, 1950's clothes dug out - only had to buy a pair of brown trousers; jeans not acceptable

Nerves are kicking in

Couldn't resist commenting on "brown trousers!" Does blue clash with nerves?
Seriously, I had a great time up there on "Le Jog." Enjoy, I'll be watching with interest so keepcar intact for Borders Rally on 23rd! Enjoy.

Nice one Steve & Bob, up another place to 8th yesterday.

[Pete]

Going very well for a tiddler !!

[slowboy]

was out marshalling all day yesterday on this event, did a 5 second stop box on a test at lunchtime and a irtc at night up in Kirkby Stephen in torrential rain and lightning,proper night rally conditions, steve going really well and holding on to 8th and 2nd in class, had a text on fri night asking if I could get a rear hub grease cap into the car when i saw him on sat, the stop box was ideal, my marshalling mate stopped him and started the count, I stuck the cap in the navs face , and he was off, 2 seconds slower than changing four wheels in an f1 pit stop

[hanlminiman]

Well done Steve. Great result.

[slowboy]

finals have smoke a brilliant 9th o/a and second in class, hell of an effort , big respect young man

[GraemeC]

Fantastic result Smoke! The old girl has done you proud (Orangebox or Bob?!)
You must be on cloud 9, that is one hell of an achievement.

9th o/a and 13th including those not eligible. Just brilliant.
