sorry guys and gals. dont want to be boring, starting this thread for th peeps that dont know me the car is a 1966 998 cooper, supplied new by stewart and ardern, it is one owner , rebuilt it in "99 and started rallying it in 2000, the car has competed over 100 events and has won 5 championships. the engine and box was done by oz from oap, a very fit 998, that manages to still put some manners on much more powerfull cars , i am taking a year out of rallying at the mo , have a back problem that keeps rearing its head when i compete,
any questions please ask,

my wall of shame. rally plates from events over the last 12 yrs and some shots of the car

superb love it well done

hi niall, will definately have to come up and do your event !!!!!!!!, yep that lummies was more than wet, i was rallying with mr tullie, he has never been in a wetter event, in the lanes around barbon the water was bonnet deep, the little car never missed a beat , we missed 1st o/a by i think 23 seconds from alex willan and paul taylor, won the historic class though, paul enjoyed the win, as we had done a full season of night rallies all over the country in 07, he loves reminding me hahahahahahah, bloody good night nav though, we been into wales a few times, no local knowledge, maps we neither been on and we managed top ten o/a each time ,and 1st historic, but the sweetest result was 2nd o/a on the gremlin, we dropped i think 13 sec on the early jog, we then cleaned every control, totally on it that night, like i said mr taylor is a great map man, he got on it wherever we went, dorset, devon, cornwall or wales, just plotted and kept calm, that calmness helps in the car from a drivers side, mr tullie is incredibly relaxed,if he has just got back from a wrc round he is usually quite tired he will cat nap in controls , wake up at 5 4 3 etc and start calling straight away , it cracks me up this is on the gremlin, its a section leading into the darkest forest i have ever been in, needed to get the car straight as we went on to a narrow wooden bridge over a river, all the locals new about the cattle grid, we didnt
