Euan Thorburns had a mare on stage 5 of the main event and dropped over 4 mins to the leader Bogie, I can only assume he has had an off or a puncture.

Ahh, your from Duns are ya !!!

My cousins are from there and used to stay across from Aitchisons garage but now stay at the big house on the top of Hardens hill ;-)

Many summers spent wondering about the town centre.

Hi Davie,

Now in Peebles, but born and bred in Duns though, Dale is still leading after stage 7 - but only by 0.1 secs from Dougie Brydon. Dingers rule the roads round Duns!!!

Not sure if they'll be able to keep it up mind you as there's a couple of WRC's on their tails.

Well that was interesting, leading overall on Friday night, had to retire Saturday with hunners of punctures, sitting 6th overall on Sunday, had to retire with mechanical gremlins.

As they say "That's Rallying"

Better luck next time Bro, buy a Scoob - much more reliable than that old Evo 9 you have!!!!

we were manning the Vision unit in Duns on Fri and Sat.

Didn't get to any stages, but had a prime spot near the Start/Finish line and were up close to the ceremonial start/prize giving presentations.

here are the pics I managed to take

Trade was good but the weather was bizarre, one minute it was sunny but the next was hail stoning!

Big shout out to those that visited the stand over the 2 days,

Baz, Cathy, JamesM, TPS Andy, Drina, Dave222 and anyone else I've forgotten :lol:

missed Duns on friday night courtesy of getting caught up at work :( apologies to those i was going to catch up with :icon_pray:

had a fantastic weekend, weather was ok, action was plentiful and managed to catch up with the Donkey porn king himself and his new fiance on saturday afternoon

level of driving throughout the weekend was fantastic but has to be said Bogie was on a different league in both classes

hard luck on your brother Gary but like you said, shouldve gone to subaru ;)
