So it looks like it's just us and you then Colin, unless anyone else is coming? It will need to be Saturday for us.

Hi guys - Jerry from over the water.

I've got an official invite, as a MSA radio marshall on Sunday, including car pass etc. I only have two seats in my 4x4, so anyone want to creep in under the wire? You will have to sign on, probably as part of my "radio crew" to avoid too many questions :roll:

Can't do this in my TF, as I carry too much rufty tufty gear, as rally/ recovery guys do :)
I'll be in my trusty silver SJ sprouting aerials 8-)

Guys,

I am sorry to say that no under wire attendances are going to be permitted - I've heard from Mike Summerfield, the MSA's radio coordinator who tells me that these kind of things have caused significant problems in the past, and they are cracking down on this. We can't be seen to advocate this kind of thing either - nor would we, as if this were to occur on our own events it would doubtless cause no end of headaches and potentially serious problems.

Hope that everyone enjoys the stages - I am sure that they'll be fantastic to watch! 8-)

Cheers

Rob

I'm going in via car with at least 2 others, and paying!

The only way to get in free, is to sign on as a Marshall as I have previously posted!

Absolutely! Marshalling is probably the best way to get up close to all the action - well worth getting involved! :D

no doubt Nigel and Jo still have the sound of MG 6R4 Metros (3 of them!) ringing in their ears!!!

sad to see that the only MG not to compete in any of todays 6 stages was the only modern one (ZR) all 3 6R4's and the 2 MG Metros are still going strong!

Great day and good to see that Karl Broad is now just one second behind the Audi A3 in first place. Might just be an MG victory! Not bad for a 25 year old car!

Colin, yes the sound of the 6R4's is still running though my ears!

couldn't find local 6R4 boy Duncan in the top 10? I know he was 5th, but car sounded sick on stage 6 yesterday (last stage) - fingers crossed!

Duncan did well to claw back up to 7th after a sick car on stage 6.

Spot on - better to see all three 6R4's in action for all of Saturday, then to see 2 retire on the Sunday!
