Wyedean 2008

[MrJan]

I know it's still a week away but (tragic events aside) the Wyedean last year is probably the best rally I've been to. It says a lot when even the last 1400 car is just as exciting as any of the 4 wheel drive lads. So get your barometers out and try a little snow dance cos I want them forests to be white again next Saturday

Lots of WRC cars this season and nice to see Julian Wilkes out Hims a nutter

Link might not work but it's easy enough to find from the entry list. Some might not understand the little numbers but they're called map references and can be used to find places using a MAP (Sorry I just don't like sat nav)

Hmm very tempted, even though I have got Sunseeker and Epynt coming up!

It was indeed, Stevenage were terrible but City looked sublime. The fourth goal was a fantastic team goal and a joy to watch

Ontopic The Wyedean can sometimes be a bit limp (same with most rallies) but if it provides half as much excitement as last year it'll be worth the trip (and the bloody bridge toll). Especially when you consider how well the event caters for spectators and that it's only 5 quid which lets you go to any stage. If only all rallies did this.

£5, bargain! Where do you pay, at the first car park you go to? Also which are the best stages to go to, especially to get some pictures?

[MrJan]

Don't know about pictures as my brother usually organises everything but the car parks you pay at the first one and get a little ticket thing which is transferable to all car parks The one downside is the stupid time I have to get up

[Allyc85]

Cheers for all the information matey, me and my mum are definetly going now, should be great

[MrJan]

I tried to get my Mum to go but she refused. Don't think she's been rallying since we saw Pat Doran roll on Haldon. Shows how long ago that was because Pat Doran hasn't been rallying for years and there hasn't been much on Haldon either.

So looks like it'll be me and the old man again.

Can't wait for Saturday, should be a nice dry too Will be in Serridge all day and should hopefully get some good video, am filming for the event DVD by mc-video.co.uk

Heading to Scrutineering tomorrow afternoon too, will post some pics when I get back

[MrJan]

Might head to Serridge too. Ended up there for the second run last year and the slush (as it was by the afternoon) made it a bit boring so I had to amuse myself by making a 4 foot diameter snow ball, good times
