Thats a bit involved! I usually... erm... forget to get working batteries for the torches, and only just manage to get fuel in time

good luck guys!

Nothing wrong with tricky navigation, you ought to come down to a Wessex 12-car, we'll show you tricky navigation

Are you thinking of coming down for the Funky Elephant? or is that a bit far for you? Lots of whites, with easy nav, and we already have one 300 (Marlon's) on the entry list

Mines not going down with the trouble I'm having with it at the moment, but would be great to meet Sven and Bilbo. I'll be navving I guess...

Forgot to say teh good luck bit, the main reason I posted last time;)

Volvo power :

Volvo Amazon 122s is 3 cars in front of us !!

cool

hmm yorkshire is about as far south as we go,but maybe next year when we get a bit more experienced we may come down. there was some talk of getting the rally car out and doing a few trips down to wales to mix it with the big boys??!! plus for us scotland is only 40 mins drive......

How about the Bolton Midnight in Sept?-pre-plot so that's good-only prob for us is it's the same weekend as the John Robson which is one of the best events up our way

Good luck guys!!

Boy did we need it

I think pre plot is the way to go

Nice and slippy and good for the rwd boys

Finished last

but got round which was better than some-think the 122 disapppeared on the 3rd time card.
Sven bilbo had an intresting night

Hopefully have a couple of good photos as my wrist bracelet snagged the handbrake lever right next to the photog

Lol! Good stuff mate. Never done a preplot, but I just shout at my nav to plot whilst I drive... some reason he works quicker when he thinks he'll get lost in a hundred yards or so

Surprised he hasn't walked out yet!

i was ill - real ill !! was sick a few times out the window all down the side of the car

my bro took some photos ,but i suppose you wont want to see them.......
some of the roads were fffffaaantastic !!! 1 open hairpin after another,uphill for about a mile, on open moorland. we were warned that the scottish navigation is one of the hardest around and they werent wrong !! alot of cryptic sh1t......too hard for novices
the v122s was in as new condition and sounded sweet as........but i dont think he made it around.

Saw it at the roadside after TC20 with lots of water bottles spread about

Luckily my nav doesn't get sick, I wouldn't be chuffed, as I still don't have a dedicated rally car! The one time I nav'd I was fine, just lucky I guess. I miss rallying, need to get involved again.

Post by **sven360** » 26 Apr 2006 06:44 pm

Update-the photo's weren't great-managed to snap it a split second before H/B applied

Still some good news according to Motoring News we were 9th and got names in print due to Volvo power LOL

See there is a 360 listed for the Funky Elephant-GO BOYS

That's good old Marlon. Wish I was out competing, instead of marshalling

Post by **Chris_C** » 26 Apr 2006 08:53 pm

I wanna play on the Funky, stupid girlfriends family organising gatherings, and getting my to choose the date last summer, no way I'm getting out of it

I have Fake purring, she want's to attack some silly easier Funky Nav!
