Never truer words said!

I know that during the setting up I walked over 20 miles, through virtually impassable bog, rocks, "stumps" & thick forest.

I did it a pace that suited me and not in front of a madman like Jim Marsden!!!!!

How would you feel being pursued by one of the "Chuckle Brothers" bent on winning at all costs!!

True hearoes one and all!!

Adrian i love you mate :lol: Great bit of co driving very impressed

Stefan and Dan were great team mates and Stefan drove rings round me on Sunday, brilliant effort.

Xav (Expat) the reason we won is cos your country men kept breaking down and blocking the others :lol: (Not true, but a great excuse)

As Adrain says a very tough event, Being invite only meant that everyone was trust worthy and that the organisers could set tapes and not fear people cheating or taking shortcuts when marshals were out of sight.

In fact over the entire weekend i did not see any evidence of abuse of the rules or tape breakign in attempt of advantage.

It was great :D

As for how tough? Chris Jones with his portalled monster running 39' Boggers etc etc managed in one section managed to stall a type 'R' on a double line pull :o So pretty tough :lol:

Plus a poor chap in a jeep had a shock when his jeep appeared from on particular Bog less it's front axle :o

That ain't no lie :huh:

BathTub (Pete) and Chris Jones were amazing to watch and there cars stunning, but we managed to break less kit than they and kept things ticking along.

No fun following in there ruts on pram wheels :lol:

A big thanks to the Organisers inparticular Mr Tomlinson and Mr T Baskil for this stunning (Hard, bloody hard) weekend of driving.

Until the next one.............

Jim :)

Ps: Did i forget to mention that four Twinmotor winches finished in the top three :D:lol:

Has anyone got any pictures of this event - -especially of Adrian running about... I have never seen that happen before. and actually doing some hard graft running about - - he'll be sleeping that off till next year.

Well done guys - - its always nice to win. (If only-- Adrian must be better at running than driving :) )

I think most/all teams got stickered :angry::lol::lol:;) Did anyone get away????????

Yes we (Team MCS) got away. We were obviously fast enough to not get stickered but only fast enough to get 3rd place.

Awesome event, must say thanks to Tony, Andy and all the marshalls.

Sections 8 and 6 were amazing.

Didn't like the 7 hour drive back to Derby Sunday night and the following 3hr drive to Bristol Monday morning.

She said she thought she was on a promise then took a look at the limp excuse of a bulge in your tatty ripped jeans & thought she would stick with Irok not little Simex :P

As for stuck i do belive we were out resueing teams on Simex {ok that had followed our rutts} .

Still think the best comment of the weekend was "That's not a scar - This is a scar !"

Ps Keep my sister please at least your white :rolleyes:
