Colin Mcrae Vision Updates

[thefastone]

And the pug 309... that was released at the same time...

I know I have all 6 released so far, sitting across the room...

So is the prospect of the massive travel scared the living crap out of you yet???

[Big Gordon]

Nice one guys.

Got all 6 cars so far too, need to get them properly displayed.

Its been a busy couple of weeks for us

took the Vision retail unit to Rally Zlin in Czech Republic,

then to the Merrick Forest stages the day after we came back (sorry no pics)

and we're just back from Rally Day Castle Coombe

sun is in the way but we had 2 Series McRaes on the stand

L555BAT and the Cosworth

all the signage around the track were "Jim Bamber"-ised... this pic denotes the gents toilets

Here's a clicky to a podcast that TotalRally produced on the 3 year anniversary

Podcast from TotalRally - just over 1 hour audio clip, with interviews with Campbell Roy, Nicky Grist and Kris Meeke

Next event for us is the McRae Stages this weekend, where the "Flat Out" fan club will be launched and Jimmy is driving a very special course car...

Came over to say hello a few times at Rally Day on Sat but seems every time I did, you were intercepted by a confused looking member of the public!

[micra_wrc]

Well done Imy, the first person to bid on the first item up for auction from the Colin McRae "Flat out Club" . Think there may be a few sheckles being realised from the piggy bank later in the month.
