roguevogue Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 It is, equally cursed and blessed. It's a bit Marmite, love it or hate it. The most important bit of the team enjoying a sit down in the foreground, typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

najw Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Really great weekend, well done to all who helped set out, took part and contributed in any way shape or form !! Huge thanks to Simon and X-Eng for the generous hospitality, on-going support and X-cellent prizes which seem to have gone down very well. Carole is still X-tremely disappointed not to have won despite a blatant attempt to fiddle it!! Results are now posted HERE Championship tables will be posted tomorrow along with the few interesting photos I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 hate it. The most important bit of the team enjoying a sit down in the foreground, typical. don't know about most important, all the elements make a team work. i expect i was getting bored watching you shunt around on a 2888 point turn........................... Neil and crew great event, had a good laugh a big thank you for setting it all out for us and clearing up afterwards. very much appreciated. Not sure i liked the SS, and how we did so well is down to Nick's driving, it just worked for us today, first time at Slindon we have finished after running all day too......

jil6939 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well a big thankyou to all involved but my biggest thankyou to the driving god that was Kevin Moss. He gladly came along to fill my seat in my car at a moments notice despite his experience only being in a class 3 motor. At first he looked a bit lost with all the extra buttons and switches but very quickly settled into a steady trot and picked away all day. A fine exanple of car control and balance if ever i saw one. Not a single "Roll" to celebrate or any other near miss to gloat about. A true gentleman. Now for all the repairs i have to do.......oh yes....none! Thanks Kevin.

treebloke Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 We are content with 2nd place after we I picked the wrong punch to start with which cost 45mins of simply playing with some deep mud, boiled twice, snapped the rope in half (couldn't be near the end could it) and broke half shaf which reduced us to one wheel drive so not such a bad day. Bert and Dan tested their roll cage. Thanks to Andy Tunnah for welding their steering arm back together so they could carry on. Thanks to the team for setting out etc, etc. Good layout.

najw Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Championship points tables are now posted HERE Unless I am very much mistaken it would appear that Rob & Jamie have secured the Championship overall, Kev & Adrian have secured the Class 1 title and Nick & James have secured the Class 2 title. In Class 3 it looks like there will be an exciting shoot out at the final round between Bob & Ian and Rob & Andy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Butler Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 A quick video I knocked up from our footage, I have a few more to post up + lots of pics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03hRVAem__Q Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
