Sadly can't do vids anymore, broke that camera on the Wyedean

As for the golf thing.....I think the nicest thing that I can say is that I'm disappointed ........Golf

Ah its only a hack around some par 3 place near upottery. Nowt serious....unless we play for pints lol

Not a bad day but hardly thrilling stuff...I even dozed off during the final stage. When we checked at lunch it was the usual Furzeland from England, but I think that it was a bike engined 205 in third or fourth that impressed most. I've seen it up there before and thought that the seeding of 35th was a bit wrong1 Goes like **** as it weighs bugger all, and with what I assume is RWD and stiff suspension it certainly handles well.

I've got some half decent, if largely unspectacular photos that will make their way to Flickr at some point. However as I'm on holiday soon it may be a few weeks before I manage to upload them.

Surely it cant be that brilliant for Furzeland to keep on winning with the massive machinery advantage he has?!

Next rally up Smeatharpe is the Prima Stages on October the 9th. I read the other day that there is currently only around 24 cars entered, but theyve got some extra milage out of the stages now, so hopefully that will tempt a few more people out!

There is a test day at Smeatharpe on the 28th and ive decided to marshall, which looking at the weather right now, is brave!

[MrJan]

Oooff, bet it'll be freezing. I sadly can't make it, I'll be sunning myself in Stockholm

Just found this entertaining onboard from last years Kynaston Stages. Contains bad language!

"Into 90 right, 90 left. Caution, ****"

Interesting onboard, shows that those chicanes are more horrible than I thought, the surface is unbelieveably slippery and co-drivers can have a sense of humour!

[Allyc85]

Ive often seen drivers bitching about the chicanes on BRF and thought they should just bloody get on with it, but you can see how tight and hard to spot they are on that vid!
