Looks a great rally, pity I couldn't get there!  Notice a lot seem to be running 15" wheels, the lack of availiable 13" obviously hitting the big boys aswell. I've just had to turn down a rally tuition weekend with some local lads before they go to Sweden. Work and my Doris have a lot to answer for!!

                               its goodnight from me, and its goodnight from him!

col it was the absolute bollox! cant believe how friendly EVERYONE was. even in the pubs! this could become my second home, as for the 15s you know i love 13s, but nearly every car had a millington series 2 and most had these brakes

[colr6]

They take it serious then! Horses and Millingtons seem to go together, in more ways than one..lol

[RWL81P]

i even got a pic for you col! this car was running this

serious is an understatement, just look at the holes drilled in the green car of adrian hetherington, even the door hinges and window frames around the doors were drilled all the way around, and the paint finish on most of the cars was to concourse standard

With a lot of them it's a money no object sport, does make good veiwing though.

well theres around 100-150k to build one of those escorts, just look at the pic of them at the side of the road. 1 million pound?
