Guys,

How have you been?

Must say really interesting Rally so far! Thanks for the updates Bruce! ;)

Just came back from the TDR in Botswana.. was a tough year in Botswana for the guys...

Thanks mate!



Thanks for sharing Divan!

Hahahahaha.. if only I was doing the planning on this one.. ;)

Just discovered its my bachelors that weekend.. :D


but that means I'm going to miss the Sasol Rally aswell.. :(

Andre,

If I'm not mistaken Jon Williams is driving with the 2010 Ford Fiesta S2000.. so yes fairly new.

Welcome back Grant! ;)



Eish.. can just imagine it was difficult getting the car to the finish! But congrats on the great start on the first day!

Bruce,

Thanks for the pics!

Moosa/Grant.. sorry to hear about the misfortunes..



Ai.. also bad news.. looks like the weekend was really difficult..

Thanks for the updates Bruce! My plans unfortunately had some...

Hahahaha.. you can say that again!! Those Fiestas are flying!

Really good time for Wilken.. glad to see his putting up the fight!!

It sure is a pity.. but lets see what happens.. maybe we can! ;)

I've got the feeling that the weather man might be right on his predictions this weekend.. lets hope there isn't any more...

Really bad news.. ;(



:up:

I'm driving through today.. sure to be on the stages on Saturday as well.. ;)

Hahahahahahaha.. so so true! ;) Forgot about that one.. :D



:laugh:

Looking at the weather channels they predicted rain from today on all the way up to Monday.. but then again.. also the only job in the world where you can lie and still keep your job.. :)

Now this is going to make the race very very interesting!!

Hahaha.. know the feeling!

I'm off the Zwartkops tomorrow for the Formula VW series.. and then next weekend the rally.

All the best Grant!

Sure to see you next weekend! ;)

Hahahaha.. tried my luck.. ;)

Really good looking vehicles!!



Shame here! Looking forward to a great season!!



Thanks Bruce!

Apparently so.. Replacement of whole vehicle £275 000.

I'm providing the Racing Insurance on these vehicles and need to replace them with the correct values. S2000 parts very very expensive!!

And really good looking cars aswell..
