Keen on the borrowing! I'll pick one up at some point, although I'm sure I've said that before! Cheers mate

Seeing as how we drive Volvo's, we can use our fog lights because ALL our lights are "distinguished."

Just like the "Ladies" and "Gentlemen" who drive them

Well we've drawn start no 13 for the Weardale next Sat.
Nowt to worry about there then LOL

Off to me nobblies fitted now-it's lamping down with snow

This is going to be quality

Don't think the speedo is going to be an issue-cos I'm not even sure we'll get up some of the banks LOL

I'm heading up to Brecon for the Gremlin rally this afternoon, apparently they've got over 6 inches there already, with more forecast...

And I'm going to be in a Peugeot, with no handbrake!

Best of luck with that one then,fella

^^ that was my bro not me ^^

hope gremlin was ok!?
we just got back from Durham Dales ! was real bad in places with a few heart stopping moments and we passed a Scooby \o/ the last 30% of rally was rubbish though as we got stuck behind a mk2 escort and a nova for the whole time. no where to pass them and they didnt pull over.

175/70/13 maxsports were the order of the night ! glad we had them on for some sections, as fish tailing on a straight single track road in snow/ice at 60mph is a bit scarey. im having flashbacks of moments.

Nice! Sounds like you've got that GLT pretty damn competitive from the other posts. Wheels suit that car very well too!

Just seen how Nick and his driver did, but I'll let him break the news!

Bloody hell those boys did good-big pat on the back required-some beautiful shots on brit rally of the snow.
Very well done there

see I said alleycats would suit a 300

Ta Chris

That was fun! Most of Epynt and the Forests (Halfway and Crychan) were under 6 inches of snow, and many of the lanes were almost sheet ice!

After much argument at the start, a load of crews pulled out, as they thought it would be too dangerous, and eventually it started an hour later than intended, and with several chunks of route cut. We then saw a lot of other crews having trouble due to having the wrong tyres or car, and quite a few cars fell by the wayside as they gave up struggling on the slippery surfaces. We pressed on, and eventually finished 6th out of 115 entries, 65 starters and 48 finishers, a result we are very proud of (we'd gone up hoping for a top 30!)

The only damage to the car was the loss of the front splitter and wheelarch trim, at some point in Halfway forest.

well done Nick ( even if it was in a pug )

Teviotdale this weekend-navigation looks tricky but should be a good learning experience if nowt else.

I'll be giving the motor it's normal preperation-kick the tyres and dip the oil
