What a great day, just going through the pics now.
Spent most of my time at SS3 and winners presentations in Perth.
Just came back too, and it was an amazing day :up: eventhough we misses half of cars on stage 5 due to Jimmy McRae off...pity because where on a great spot, but glad that nothing happened to the crew.
Well, after just the 600 mile round trip I'm glad I went. Thanks to all the Organisers, Marshals, everybody involved in bringing everybody together for this probable 'once-in-a-lifetime' event.
Went to Errochty - the car park was just cars and campers everywere - great stuff. There seemed a real buzz while walking through the stage to get to my viewing point - like an old RAC Rally. Then the action started, who was driving the '0' car? Ari seemed 'muted' a car problem I think, but a priviledge to have seen him and DR with the Rothmans Escort.
Must say Alister, Kris, Callum and John Crawford were specially commited. Wouldn 't have missed it for the world, a chance to see legends driving iconic cars. Great stuff!!! http://www.britishrally.co.uk/forum/...s/smiley20.gif
Would like to see a few enter the RAC in November - now that would be something!!
Fantastic event, spoilt only by the mess which put the mockers on SS5. Thankfully myself, pino and J4MIE got to see the whole field through SS1, so it wasn't as much of a disappointment for us that SS5 was canned after 30 or so cars. It was great to see some famous names rallying again. I never thought I'd get to see the likes of Vatanen, Wilson, Mikkola, Buffum, Waldegaard and Brookes competing, let alone on the same rally! Unfortunately, it must be remembered that this event only took place because of the tragic loss of the great Colin himself, and I would gladly forget this weekend to have him back with us. As things go though, this was one hell of a way to pay tribute to him, so I too thank everyone who worked so hard to bring it all together. :up:
When we'll see some pics ? :DQuote:

Had a great day out, really disappointed that SS5 was stopped but I suppose even more surprised that was the only problem throughout the day despite the huge number of spectators.
Went to SS1 where Meeke was stunning, fully sideways and very fast well before the 90 right and went round inch perfect :up: Malcolm Wilson looked good as well. Got to Craigvinean in time to drive up to the midpoint, and I walked up the hill a bit from where pino and PuddleJumper were. Alister was amazing there, very commited!! When we were driving out of the stage it was extremely slippery but a fantastic looking stage, never had the chance to go round there before.
Does seem there were a few amateur speccies out there though, not sure why anybody would call 999 especially as I hear that they were shouting up that they were OK pretty quickly...
Anyway, really enjoyed it :up:
Few pics:
