On a rather sad note to the event, one of the competitors, Chris Leeming, passed away after suffering chest pains following the completion of one of the stages. R.I.P Chris

the weather stayed fine all the time i was there, even though the surrounding area had storms all day, we could hear the thunder and see the lightning but the rain stayed away.
I noticed a bright orange Fiat 131 Mirafiori Sport tucked away in a corner nr the toilets, and it was sporting a RR sticker.

The Boxster i believe was built by a Porsche specialist from a salvage car and is powered by an engine from a 968

That 131 you saw belongs to a chap on here who helped with and is mates of the guy who owns and runs the Escort. He was probably/possibly navigating. That's if it's the same car.. Fairly certain it is though!

I love the look of that manta, there seem to be a reasonable number of them rallying. Your pictures have given me incentive to do some work on mine today.

Great pics, a fine compensation for not going to Coombe. Sad to hear about the dead guy, went doing what he loved and all that. Just kind of weird when you see it written down though, and there he is.
I think it's Hicky131 that's associated with the Escort isn't it? Good to see the guy giving some...
Why is that Porsche nose diving more than the Escort? It's been that long since I jumped something I can't remember what the procedure is on take off, foot down, lift off, freewheel in mid air?
Anyway, great selection.
Edited becuase I just realised it looks like it's front engined, 968 and all that... Ahh

That 131 you saw belongs to a chap on here who helped with and is mates of the guy who owns and runs the Escort. He was probably/possibly navigating. That's if it's the same car.. Fairly certain it is though! Yes,it was me! ;D ;D Unfortunatley,i couldnt afford the entry fee to navigate but we got the local dustbin wagon driver to step in! I was relegated to servicing duties. It was the first time he'd been in a competition car and i think it's fair to say he was crapping himself to start with!! ;D ;D All that changed after the first stage though once he got settled in and after the 3rd stage we were only 5 places behind another local Mk2 with a 260hp XE lump in it! Not bad going for a novice with an ancient 100hp crossflow lump in it! Chris Leeming was a local guy who was parked next to us in the service area. All our team knew him well.I met him only about 3 months ago but i could tell he was a down to earth guy who loved his rallying and what he didnt know about escorts wasnt worth knowing. He did a lot of work on our car such as the wiring,fitting the tramp bars and strengthening the axle up for us and he also built the new close ratio gearbox and new slip diff a week before the event just to get us out of the sh*t. We couldnt believe what we were hearing when we heard the news cos he was around laughing and joking only half an hour earlier and driving like a man posessed like he allways did quarter of an hour before then. On a brighter note,his work on the car got it to the finish further up the field than we thought we could do.All we wanted to do was get a finish and we'd be happy. We ended up getting 27th place overall out of 90 starters and 8th in class taking 19 seconds out of a sierra cosworth on the last stage! At the presentation we were suprised to get a couple of trophies for the best novice award too! Finally,the team ended up getting totally blathered to celebrate. ;D ;D A couple of pics before the start. Graham on the left(sackospuds) and Ben on the right(driver) Our other team car finished 2nd in the 1300 class and 19th overall. A few more pics from the service area. Got some video footage too,so i'll post them up when i get em sorted out.
