Just me, then! First cars - upto 1600cc, ran 1st..65 of them Anything from 1 litre Micras upwards. Didn't chew the gravel up much. I swear old style Minis are getting smaller too.
Then the big stuff, 117 of them, which did re-arrange the gravel. Evos, and Imprezas efficient with their lines and quite reserved bar for the shot gun anti-lag exhaust. Mk2 Escorts are still the biz. So much sideways action, and the non-turbo engine and exhaust thumps the air and your chest as they pass.
A Lancia Stratos turned the forest into a concert hall, but the Metro 6R4 did it for me. If I smoked, I would have had to have lit one after it had gone
.
N/a went well (on the way there, not round the forest), tricky in the wet this morning with a bit of air under the wheels at times. I like driving in tricky conditions.
Oh aye, Stilo 1.8 smoked badly - oil - doubt it finished the rally
Update: The Stilo retired with a broken gearbox on the next stage.
The Stratos retired the following stage too.
. I won't be out again for a while. Maybe we can meet up on the next South Wales meet. Maybe we could all go up to the Elan Valley by Rhayader to visit the Claerwen dam that was on Top Gear tonight. It's a great drive there. We could have a Coupe line up along the top of the dam? Would make a great pic...
