BoatBuoy Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Whilst the 200tdi engine has remarkable fuel consumption, you still need some diesel for it to go forwards. BTW, that is a Chevy V8 towing us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 [We had an excellent weekend, bar the tragidy that happened Sunday morning. It didn't even make the news on TV this evening poor b*gger Perils of the job I suppose but it was a bit of a shock to hear about it on the radio this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 sad news for the rally world, did anyone else hear that 4 people died on 'the great north run', I always thought jogging was more dangerous than driving through the woods at 100mph!

NegevLandRover Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Sad indeed. re. the great north run - a senoir official said that they normally have one or two deaths each year and that the high number of deaths this year suprised them ?! Definetly more dangerous running. Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I forgot to say ... great photo I reckon it was probably all those lights, the 200Tdi was running flat out to drive the alternator and consequently used 10x as much fuel as anticipated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) BB just wait for the s**t jobs to head your way Hey even recovery units need a helping hand sometimes, I blame the organisers for not sending me a promised fuel agency card, didn't get one till that morning and couldn't leave the stage to get to a garage to fill up. the promised 'posted it Last Saturday' card still hasn't arrived otherwise a ace weekend and my deepest sympthay to Micheal Parks family, a very sad day for all we collected this from our 1st stage on Epynt Ranges and Sunday Morning at Resolfen Stage 14 & 16 this was taken by me at about 4.30 am from front left was Doctor,Radio car, FIV, 2nd row Us, Care Rescue, Post Safety officer, a marshal's car [parked] Edited September 19, 2005 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Looks like you had fun We heard about the cash as we were entering the Margam stage for the second run through, so decided to head home. Very sad indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormhole Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Glad to see you had good weekends, sorry I missed you on Sunday, decided after all the problems with Resolven and Margam it wasn’t worth driving right around the stage... I was expecting to hear from you for when the car with only 1 wheel needed recovering - did you not bring the extra wheels thing? We visited craven control on our way out (they were near junction 13 on Resolven) had a chat, the crew from the roll at junction were OK overall - one of the crew had a quite serious cut on one hand so couldn't get out of the car - they were taken to hospital for stitches and checks/observation The marshal from 24 was also taken to hospital for checks however control had no further information. The incident on Margam was fatal as has already been mentioned, however I feel for the family - the worst bit was a marshal/spectator called the press immediately with no thought - BBC had the news on Cefax within minutes - probably before the family were informed The rest of the event went well, we assisted in the ATC for Cardiff, was in one of the underground car parks the fumes were not good, but it was good to see all the cars at close quarters and speak to some of the crews.

western Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I was expecting to hear from you for when the car with only 1 wheel needed recovering - did you not bring the extra wheels thing Matt, heard you on the radio a few times, the 1 wheel car was stripped by local brats apparently before our guys could get to it had my extra wheel thing with me used it to recover the Evo, but was beyond the location of Junc 13 incident and can't wrong direction a live stage, in all a great weekend.
