| Sherwood Forest is all well and good but it is a bit point and squirt and 1.4 mile stages. Perhaps that's why we were doing quite well before we broke the car. So for a stiffer challenge why not try a real forest like Radnor!! An event with just 5 stages doesn't seem like value for money, but when you consider SS3 Radnor was 18 miles long, this was from the sublime to the ridiculous. Determined our rallying was now well and truly based on the social aspects, we would not be interested in how we were doing the next guys time etc.... (yea, right!). We found a fantastic B+B just north of Builth Wells, had curry and beer as part of the pre-event preparation, everything was going to plan. [ Read the rest... ] Read/Post Comment: 0 |

| Following almost 3 years in the wilderness (without a rally car in sight), Neil Andrew and Mark Spavin climbed back into a rally car last weekend. The Sierra was a bit rippled from all the previous excitement, but the rebuild had seen the old “trick” 12 valve V6 replaced with a fairly stock Cosworth 24 Valve V6 giving an uplift in power to around 280BHP. The car had nearly been out of action for as long as the crew, getting it's first MOT for 3 years just 3 weeks ago. A few easing back into action teething problems surfaced, starter motor would not engage to turn the engine, alternator failed, and the cooling was a bit unknown?? The starter motor, battery and alternator were replaced with new (rare for us) and the week before the event the bits for the MSA changes for the past 3 years, turned up. With all the requirements for MSA complete we even had time to fit a new handbrake lever, one of those posh vertical jobs next to the gear lever (you know that this will all end in tears one day!!). The car had a few squirts up and down the lanes of Staffordshire, to claims of "God that is quick!" (maybe we are getting slow?). So it with a lick of paint, new engine, some flash bits added, the same old driver and navigator were to be re-installed!!! [ Read the rest... ] Read/Post Comment: 0 |
