Who's going to this then, always a great mix of old & new rallye cars.

I might drag myself down to Bournemouth on Friday night for the 7pm start in Bournemouth Lower Gardens

But i will attend the first stage (Uddens) first car leaving 0848 Saturday.

[Jon_Bmw]

I'll be there. Should make the lower gardens stage as well, providing the 205 last the 5 hours of abuse at the trackday.

Got to be honest, I haven't seen those hunys there before! On closer inspection some look a little suspect

Is the timetable up yet?

[Ziggy]

Yup, I'll be there! T'other Mark's probably coming down too btw Jon.

See what happens WRT getting down into Bmouth on the Fri night, but Sat AM's for sure. Might try & get over to somewhere else during the day too - one of the Ringwood stages or sommat.

How can you say those honey's look suspect, yuff of today!

[Gortour]

I'll hopefully make it too, Bournemouth lower garden and Uddens.

[m4xos]

bournemouth gardens, will be there by the jump

[Jon_Bmw]

I can't even remember there being a jump down there. The pad material sparking away under braking would make a great photo if I knew what to do with a camera.

Still hoping to make Lower Gardens, but I will almost definatly be late. Oxford to Salisbury leaving at 5 ish, possibility of being late due to nursing a sick car home, then a quick change of car, blast down the a338, park near Asda and then a 20 minute walk. Bummer!

[Gortour]

Won't make this Friday now, will hopefully make Uddens on Saturday.

Might be out marshaling, my motor club is doing one of the starts and some other stuff. Depends if there's any more to do on my m42.

maybe you should wear a jester hat or sument so we know who you are so we can throw our pop corn at you!

[Ziggy]

Will defo be there on Sat... Fri depends on what time Mark gets here from Derby & whether we can be ar$ed or just go to the pub instead. You about for a beer on Thurs by any chance Jon? Or Sat night?

[Jon_Bmw]

Sat night ftw!

Thursday i'm in salisbury as I need to be here to take the 205 to abingdon.

[E30Mark]

Is parking going to be that bad on Friday night then? Park in Asda's and walk! oh well Jeanie needs the exercise

[Ziggy]

See you at the Rallye then Jon, & we'll sort out Sat night then.

I'll give people a shout on Fri if we're heading down... otherwise shall we meet you somewhere on Sat AM Mark?

Mark, you forget, I am tight.

I refuse to pay for parking in the allocated parking spots.

[Ziggy]

This'll be tonight / tomorrow then! Mark (& Jon, depending on your plans!), do you want to meet up tomorrow morning then?

[E30Mark]

Ziggy, Meeting up tomorrow would be good, usual place? OR could meet at my house and walk over together

First car is around 8:30 in uddens, it's a 20 min walk from my house through the woods

Should be going down to B'mouth tonight as well, will see how Jeanie is, not feeling too well when she left this morning I might just go on my own anyway

[Ziggy]

Either way... it'll mean setting off from mine at 7.30ish, but I'm determined to get there for the early cars for once! Won't be much point popping in to see the mother at that time, so we might as well park near yours. I'll give you a buzz in the morning when I know what time we'll actually make it over


I'd have thought t'other Mark'll be getting to mine at about 7.30 this eve, so I'm still not sure whether we'll head into Bmouth tonight.

The other Mark? you 2 timing me?

Don't drink too much tonight And i'll see you tomorrow

[Ziggy]

Sorry dear, tis true

See you tomorrow - I'll call if we do go into Bournemouth tonight.

[Jon_Bmw]

I didn't back it back to Salisbury until bang on 7, when the first car, probably a skoda set off. I am kind of glad I didn't make the trip down now as I have heard from my uncle that the stages are cancelled in town tonight He was standing near the phase 1 impreza that was having its driver cut out. Hit a rather large 'pole' on the beach section and was having the roof and presumably cage cut out. The 'pole' thing was about 100 metres away from where it should have been. You ladies all definatly going to uddens tomorrow? Any other stages as I am trying to plan the day, like!

[Ziggy]

Me Mark E & Han'll be at Mark R's at 8.30 (or just before) - 1st car goes through at 8.48 IIRC.

Doesn't sound like tonight went well

[m4xos]

what a load of shite this year, after that crash, waited 40 mins, then gave up as nothing was happening!!
some lovely fast mk1 escorts about tho!!

[E30Mark]

I saw the first crash where a land rover decided to side swipe the railings in the lower gardens! then decided to walk up to the start line where all the cars were obviously setting off from. The atmosphere up there was great, but then it all stopped, so assumed there had been another accident and set off for home just before 9.

Will be up at Uddens as usual, I'll remember to charge the batteries too!

[E30Mark]

Perhaps we need to enter a M3 next year

This is the impreza on the Friday night:



Driver was ok and had to be removed from the rear door, had minor ankle injuries. He was very lucky that it was a WRC spec car and not a lower class car, let alone a normal road vehicle.

[Ziggy]

Lucky indeed!

[m4xos]

bloody hell, didnt know it was that savage!!
