MrsBass Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Mrs Bass here for those of you who are interested......Just had a call to let me know news so far today! It is raining ha ha! Martin had retired from the competition which obvoiusly means its all down to Jim and Paul to bring the trophy home. Positions as of this morning are: Jim - 1st, Paul - 6th but scores very close all the way to 10th place. They are completing 8 special stages today 5 today and 3 tonight. Adrian has hurt his foot this morning and Jim has just broken a CV and shafts in Special stage 2. Paul and Nev are next to go. Come on boys!!!!!!! Jim hasn't had chance to change his steering box yet either so is still running with a broken one. I am updating my website when news comes in so keep an eye on www.challenger4x4.com. Its getting quite exciting now!!! Bye Lucy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBass Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hello, More news from Portugal....... Jim has repaired the Cv and borrowed a shaft off of another competitor as Martin was carrying his spares and as he is no longer in the competition he was not allowed to use parts from his car, as this is considered to be outside assistance and I believe the case is the same with his steering box. He went on to complete the stage well. Next stage - Jim and Adrian went first and on the last winch out of the section they pulled all the winch rope out of the winch and the rope came off the drum, this cost them time and they completed the section in 18minutes. Paul was next to go and drove the section without winching in 8 minutes. Next stage was a tricky out and Jim and Adrian went first again and they timed out in the stage costing them a 20 minute DNF penalty. Paul and Nev walked the course and then decided to sack the stage and also costing them a 20 minute DNF penalty. More news as it comes, this morning there was only a few hundred points between 1st and 10th place. Speak soon Lucy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im suprised that the new steering box broke that was suposed to be a really strong box. Hope Adrians foot is ok and they have a better day tomorrow.

Steve 90 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hello Mrs Bass, And welcome. Heard anything from Paul yet??? Just had txt from Jim saying he and Adrian finished fourth. Couldn't steer all week, turning right was a real issue and steering would lock up. Only 10 cars finished and weather was poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
