The return from the Germany WRC

[Mass]

Just thought I'd start a new thread so we can all post our thoughts and pictures from the trip.

 

Pete, a massive THANK YOU mate for organising an amazing package. All the hard work paid off, I'd probably go as far as saying it was better than last year. It was good to meet some new faces, Aston (Raidon), Alistair, John (Gunther), Charlie (There goes Charlies Big ends), Gordon (P1 Gordon), Brin, Patricia, Antionette, Rich, Ray (Barmy Badger, A Legend in his own right).... All top class people and lovely cars! But I hope the Z4 took a good pouning before it went back! 

Alan (Sped) Your car mate just keeps getting better, oh and faster... I'm supprised the police caught up with you mate! pmsl!

 

As soon as I get my pictures developed....all 7 rolls of film...I'll post up them up

But here are a couple to wet your appitite.

After a quick password reset, I see I'm still a member of the forum despite several years of inactivity!

Just want to say a HUGE thanks to everyone who was there this weekend for making me feel so welcome and making it probably the best WRC event I've been to (even if the result was pants!) []

I'll get my pictures online ASAP!

Thanks,

Alastair (Al).

How did you manage at the service park this year , was it still like colditz to get into and did you have to get shirty with the marshals this time .

last year was a nightmare [:@]

LOL on the first day they tried to wave Pete into service. He bottled it and said he was parking elsewhere. Would love to have seen the mechanics faces if he turned up at service LOL

I got waved through a few checkpoints (recce/gravel car lookalike?) or more likely, my rugged good looks []

They were a bit more on the case the following days. However on one occasion they let us park in the VIP enclosure as we had followed the WRC cars day after day. It became clear we were really no trouble so In we went.

Me and Alastair got waved right up to a stage. We only had to walk 10 foot to the fence line. Next year will see more antenna's and maybe a lamp pod. Lets see what we can get away with then.

[bmwhere?]

Yeah, they were definately less draconian than previous years!

Also, not forgetting all the free parking we got using the "We're Subaru VIP, we don't have to pay!" blag []

Still, the stage marshalling was as abismal as usual! I don't know where they find them, but they have absolutely no idea about what a mashall's job is - they just seem to think they're there to have the best spectator spots! They just have whistles to make them look more official! [:@]

photobucket is pants, what one can I use that lets you dump a load of pics at once, ie drop and drag. This is a PITA []
