Well I’m finally recovering from the Somerset Stages and the really random weather we had….
At least the action on the stages was good!

A big thanks to my pilote for the day – Chaz ‘the chav’ Robbo!
Got to CHargot in the end and watched where there was a commentator. Didn't look like a great spot and I hate commentators at rallying but didn't want to risk the wrath of the marshalls by walking along the stage. Turned out to be alright and I enjoyed my time there. But the best part of the day was driving back to Exeter, I went pretty much from the stage to Tiverton without catching another car and it was a joy to drive along the twisty roads, reminded me of why I bought the pointless 2 seater in the first place :D
Anyway a few photos what I tooked:

Nice pics mate. Im still sorting though all the ones I took yesterday and now my pics from Thruxton today so might be a while before they are uploaded!
That road down to Tiverton is great. I headed up to Timberscombe really early just so I could get a clear run up and it was well worth it, even just in a Focus!
I was going to post some pics but you have a 5 pic limit i supose its cos some people post huge size pics ?????
Great day again apart from the marshals in Timberscombe as usual they were crap, one car pulled over on a tight hairpin & the marshalls done nothing untill the second car after was going through, the marshalls were no more than 15 feet away (very poor) but a great day all the same!

Nice pics :D
Anyone read about the endurance rally they are trying to organise in the area. Could be a great event, especially if they can do Porlock at night ;) :D
Yes i've been told about that, I think there's going to be an 18 miler in Croydon :eek:
Porlock is being run, but from what I've been told so far that stage is one of the ones before its dark.....but Croydon should be great
