infact a £50 suzuki mot failure may be more capable and almost certainly more reliable than my off roader, which will be appearing at tong and slindon.
(cue someone else on the podium!!!)
And better looking.....
-
There were a couple of people with bluetooth communications, i have found where to get the helmet ones that Chris Able was wearing, does anyone know where to get the headset type ones?
Not to sure, i'll bet nick or james will be along to help out on that front
What happened to you at the weekend??? how did you get on with the new tyre's/axle's???
-
Would that be the slight mishap were you went end over end before barrel rolling twice and finally lying on your side...?
Or the one where you tried to push a tree through the side of your head
That was a superb roll, in fact it was so good that Gary Zoller tried to copy you later in the day but the judges only award half marks as he only barrel rolled with no end over end
I'm sure he will try harder next time
Filipie you would have laughed yourself silly
Good effort Mate B)
Jim
Ps: No body was seriously hurt making this offroad comedy
only wounded pride and and some bent metal work.Pps: Very impressed with the cage, hardly a mark. 10 out of 10
You forgot to add that the roll was on/down rock
cage did it's job 100% 
All glass and roof light's still in one peice
driver on the other hand still got a screw loose -
What a top chap that Filipe is
Good job you did'nt tell Filipe about my little mishap at yesterday's comp

Cheaky HUNT how did you know Jims missus is co-driving for me
-
Even with alot of encouragment, they couldn't make it fit.
Tyre size is 95cm, measured...... so you would get away with 38.5 bogger's
....... just 
The guy in the pic's tyre's hung out the past the tyre gauge by a lot
rule's is rule's, fella's -
Will the tire size limit be lifted next year? If you make the sections longer and harder than you could maybe also allow cars with grown up tires.
stef
They say the tyre size rule is there to stop people compensating for haveing a small house....... i'll be running 205's
-

-
Interesting that on HW we had to undo our sail and use it as a conventional one, with it not being allowed to be rolled up at the hook end!
They tried to undo mine, but i was not haveing any of that.......... mine's like that to guard the rope against the rock's. I think the rule has been carried over from the old day's when there was only steel rope's about.
-
This guy, is still wanted by the Portuguese POLICE. Any information call 238276047586739457
Filipe Santos
Not one of our's

Filipe Santos

-
Driving glasses might be better, he does have a tendency to drive into rocks at speed
Looks like a good event from the photo's and talking to Jim & Adrian, if they make it a bit more technical, longer sections next year ill be going
Next year thing's will be better, this year the section's were ripped apart as the car's have moved on, the same as over here. After talking to Agostinho at the end he said they will move/raise the bar for next year, so come on down mate, it would be good to get 4 car's down there next year. I've already got one other car comeing with me next year
If your reading this Agostinho that's 2 already mate And you had better leave your mobile with somebody............. your going to get wet! -
We did not have to use them in Portugal with plasma only needed with steel.
-
no really No really..............
Simon, i'm going back next year.......... to many new mate's to see again
Gus any time mate
-
Nev Assisting another team during a special stage
The reason Nev is so wet he slipped and had a bit of a dunk'in
I went round........ but still managed to drop the ground anchour of my toe
-
Cool set of pic's there Kev, look's like i need to buy a new oar....... lost the old one
Filipe............ your bang on mate, but i did have hold of the hand brake
-
We got back last night, if you take out the boat trip it's the same driving distance going to the Tay for us down south
Great event, great people, great place
this year the weather suited us as it was overcast and rained section's were way, way to easy for this type of high profile event.......... they need to raise the bar.There was way way way to much waiting about, we sat at lunch on 1 day for 2hr's and then did a quick section plus some road book then sat for 4hr's .......... god that was boring
As for our event we came in 4th.... happy with that as we damanged the steering box on day 2 after hitting a bridge wall and a large rock in the river
so we had no right turn for the rest of the event I'll be going back next year in my new car so if anybody want's to join me your more than wellcome, hopefully the sun will shine next year
It was good to meet so many people that hopefully will become long time friends.... Filipe ( cant stay on my wheels) Santos, what a great guy, how do you stay so clean
Plus triple hole.... who was shot not long before the event started, hense the name Agostinho your a top bloke, we gave you hell hope you recover Must mention Jonny on here as he help us with so much, down to getting the beer's in and sorting out the marshall's for us........ see you next year matey, if any of you are comeing over just let me know, your welcome at mine anytime.
If anybody want's to know more about the event for next year then get in touch and i'll run through it with you.
I'm sure KBE will be along with some pic's/video as he took load's
Thats all for now more later.........
