Hopefully see you at Chepstow tomorrow Geoff :up: :)
Well nigh on everythings packed and the cars ready. Luckily I noticed a drip of oil on the drive which turned out to be the oil filter workings its way loose!!
We will be doing stages 2 and 6 as I really cant be assed with chasing around now!
have a great time everyone. I'd love to be there but its my daughters birthday, and I'd get shot!
Had an enjoyable (if unexciting) day. Only really watched 2 stages as the stoppage on Speech House buggered up our timing. Got a handful of photos and was trying a new mini DV camera but didn't really get anything of note. I'll sort everything and try to remember to post tomorrow but bit tired at the minute, 6am start and lots of walking has taken it out of me a bit.
Mr Turves, thought you might like to know there were 9 " Forests" out on the Wyedean today.
Yea was a good day out though the long stoppage was a bit of a downer. Read on another forum that it was caused by a crew having a high speed rear impact with a tree and they dont seem to have suffered any serious injuries :)
Will sort out my pics tomorrow as im also fooked!
Yeah it was a bit up the road from us. Some marshalls came trotting by followed by some media looking chaps so we went for a wander to see what had happened. High speed spot with a little dip had caught out an Escort in the historics and he'd gone up and bank and then across the road into a tree. Car looked a right mess at the rear.Quote:

Quality isn't great because my computer and Youtube have scaled it down. The slight bump close to the camera (the one I was holding rather than the other one) is what unsettled the Escort. From what I can tell he went up a bank on the right of the road before hitting a tree on the left which spun him round into a ditch on the right again. As you can see (and hear) from the Elsmore and Perez clips it was pretty high speed stuff.

Not a great day photography wise, struggled to get anything that I was actually happy with but these are okay, even if the one of Perez most of it is blurred :)
