I dont know what happened up on the A40 but there was alot of heavy braking going on and a swerving MPV trying not to rear end Richies motor.

If one this is evident from today, i really need to get my parts fitted and a remap sorted.

Had a good day today, some great looking cars there! Used a full tank of fuel due to my R having the close ratio box and a very short 5th

As Bustsr said, there should have been a burger van or something there as they would've made a killing

It's OK Matt, she thought was just another nutter in a Scoob . Brilliant time, another tank of gas and another badge.

And by f**k does my car shift now .

Tell me about it! All I was thinking was, he's not going stop!! Hopefully he'll watch the traffic ahead of him in the future.

Great to see the Welsh section playing its part in the event with some cracking looking cars

Simon and I picked up a straggler on the way home that had lost the flock but don't worry we got him home safe

We had one booked, checked he was OK in the week, then he just failed to turn up on the day. We called him 3 times only to get answer phone.

His wife called back later and when we said we had 1000 people waiting she promised he would come along.

Guess you know the rest......

Expect to see some very bad press winging his way all over the web very soon.

We can only apologise - but annoyingly it was completely out of our control. Hope it didn't ruin the day....

Massive thanks for dropping the Rally GB maps/books/stickers off for me at the gate Trooper.

Really gutted to have been off post when you arrived as I would have liked to meet/thanks you in person.

I'm sure the winner of the WRC Rally Bag will be over the moon!

No, didn't ruin the day Ade, was just surprised there wasn't one there! A lot of different looking/spec'd Imprezas there for sure! Many thanks for organising such a top day!
