OK. No I don't & I've been bunking off from TPF!
A last minute decision to change my car to something a bit more competitive left me 3 weeks to build a new road rally car! So every evening & weekend I have been grinding, cutting, welding & fabricating & had no spare time at all.
Will that do for my excuse for being away?
We went from the VW Golf, 1300cc & 1200kg...
To the new Polo, 1400cc and 900kg
& crammed all this stuff into it!
Last weekend we entered it into it's virgin rally starting no 56 & finishing 37th, 11th in class. The car held up really well even on the really rough roads & didn't falter once, unlike the driver & navigator! The only damage to the car was a bent bracket supporting the tank guard!
The tyres were bought & fitted the day before the rally & the grip they gave on mud & grass saved us from the scenery 3 times, vastly making up for the drivers incompetence!
We have a couple more events this year then hope to do a full championship next year, so my attendance may be a little sporadic at times!
