Nerves are kicking in :shock:
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.

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 :lol: :lol:

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.
