Rally of GB
Well I met up with Richard Thomas in London on the Friday afternoon. We left for Cardiff at 4am the next morning, arriving at Cardiff we waited an hour for tickets only to be told they were sold out!
So we headed out to one of the pay as you enter stages, HOPING we were going to get in. Sure enough we did.
We were on a stage called Halfways, about 500m down the road from Dixies Corner (goes from mud to bitumen).
The WRC cars are ****ing awesome! They are so fast its not funny! Anyway, watching the cars come past, Gronholm was due next but didn't come, then Passonen didn't come! We saw everyone flocking up the road and follow them, there we find both Gronholm and Passonen rolled, the cars ****ed!
So we are there watching the clean up effort when someone comes in OBVIOUSLY too fast, hits the bank and wham, over she goes! Absolutely awesome!
The stage was yellow flagged after that with everyone transporting through, but luckily they came back through a second time, although a little bit more wary! A few people has lucky escapes!
Also where we were you could look a couple of km's across a valley and see them head up a hill and do a nice hairpin and head off on their way! Awesome!
There were lots of choppers around carrying the presunably very rich WRC bosses! We even spotted the Puegot boss!
Also there was an abundance of fireworks! They were being let of continually, although i didn't expect the massive fireworks display that erupted when Colin McRae came through! the crowd went beserk! it was awesome!
I suggest anyone who has never seen WRC cars in action try and get to see them! its truly amazing!

This maybe one of those moments.

Don't forget guys that with the money Daveee is spending on his trip he could have bought a cheap club rallycar and already started rallying...
I know which one I would rather...
Competing at the cheapest level is better than not at all, IMHO!!!

You've never been to Europe have you?
I'd miss a season for a good holiday there any time.

I'm not sure how to attach pictures, but I've had a go, so you can see what Davee is talking about. Well that worked! Thats Gronholm on the left.
