Sublime indeed my good man remind me again why the MSA want to outlaw this type of MSA log booked, SVA compliant, road taxed & road legal vehicle

it is a crime in itself! No reason at all why it should be banned!
At least after Saturday I will be able to say I saw it with my own eyes! |

indeed what a sound!!!!
saw him through SS7 and he had a problem, made the car sound literally like thunder!!! awesome car though! great rally to be fair. went up friday night piloted by Dave in the legendary STOCK 1 drove the stage in harwood and parked up, fire on, wine opened, dinner away woke up next to the stage to watch a great days action hanging from a recently felled tree then moved to next stage down some heavily rutted track with loads of standing water with which dave decided to show off his off roading skills, I did think we were off at one corner to much speed going in but managed to get round, parked up at J10 on SS7 and got another fire going to keep warm during he delay, the farmer blasted over on his quad bike and chatted with us for an hour round the fire, 24 cans and a day later later we were on the way home anyone know why all the cars were held up at service until 6 to run the last stage? we burned enough wood during the delay to heat a town for a week! next up pirelli International in 2 weeks

Saw Stock1 actually on the road section between Otterburn and the entrance to Harewood
Not sure what the delay was but it was snowing like fook whilst we were waiting for SS7 to kick off  Burtons motor was sick on SS7 after I'd spent ten minutes telling a lad who I'd saw from work what he was in for and why it was worth standing in the snow and wind waiting for it 
All in all a cracking day I was so tired last night I looked like Bruce Lee

did you see it about 7 ish? we were driving to the shop in Otterburn so I could get some beers for the trip home 
I too was all geared up for a screaming Burton and a bit gutted when he was off song, the evo behind him was catching him big time!! shame like. |

Twas a shame mate but hey ho I go t to see him twice that day
Think it was earlier than 7.00 tbh Anyone any idea why my film footage will playback fine on camera but once downloaded to the laptop it plays in what appears to be double speed
