Yep, as Dean said, there's loads of parking space there and not a long walk really once inside - I'll prob be doing the official route if I go to Shakedown

All the cars are based around the corner from my works this year, on Cardiff docks. Driving out of work today 5 new Evo's came in, in convoy, all in matching yellow liveries, Pirelli cars i think. Looked the bollocks fair play! 
Then going through the Bute town tunnels i could here something loud coming through behind and the 2 white Volvo's came through on full chat...sounded awesome, almost like the Audi Quattro's of the group B days. 
How about that to get you in the mood for Rally GB! 
Just a shame i won't get to see as much this year, i am however getting in a full day sunday.

I'M KNACKERED!!!left Swansea and by 4a.m. i'd already cleared the black mountains (a4069), last minute desision took me to hafren, where a slightly def ear was turned to the car park marshal that wanted me to park a mile or so away from the stage
, ended up within 50yds of the stage by the burger van
anyway, walked up the stage to a nice S section for the first run through then down to the hairpin for the second, cracking day and fairplay to otsberg and oigeir
they aint arf giving it some

Exactly what I thought, got home about an hour ago, cold, wet but thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
I noticed Bonzee had privilege parking about 30ft from the hairpin, also managed to meet up with Taylor at the jump.
Though it was pi**ing down, I'd do it again.
Also some guy got lucky and got Hirvonen's bonnet in perfect condition.
