Looking forward to it, first trip this year for me, Garry did the Monteberg in the new car afew weeks ago

Scrutineering all done, lingo fun but getting by! Noisy cars and chips n beer! Paradise...

Chips and beer!!!!...................You must be well off

Snijers Patrick - Bruneel Àrne BMW 130i 3I - Show the old fella how it's done

Have a good and safe run Bruvs.

Good luck Bruvs.

Spoke to patrick on sat night at the digs, nice fella, wasn't impressed with the morrocan wedding in the hotel that was 'bouncing' till 2.30am! Anyway up at 6.30 and away we went! Recce on Saturday after scrutineering went fine only did 2 passes on our youtube pacenotes, just needed to amend on the distances but nothing major. Wasn't too sure what to expect but "had a look" on the first 2 stages, ss3 got cancelled as a porsche had wiped out a concrete post, they (historics) were running before the moderns so the "cuts" got deeper and more rocks and gravel was getting chucked out as the day progressed.
Getting a feel for things we managed to start having a go, compact felt good, great' turn in' handling and brakes were good, engine and diff was working hard and temps were up especially the diff so before the last loop we dropped its oil and chucked in some fresh. Quite a few retirements around us , think a few had brain fade in the heat !, ended up 49th from 150 starters 2nd 2wd in the overseas . Incredible rally with crowds like we've never seen, great weekend and can't wait for another dabble! even managed some incar halfway through the day! Miracle! , thanks to Keith , paul , david and luke for a great craic..

good effort guys. sounds like the new car and the event were both good fun.

Congrats.

Where's the in-car?

Still in the camera! , will dig it out soon:-)

Well done Bruvs! Look forward to seeing your incar. Still having issues here - but off to an event tomorrow, hope our luck changes this weekend...

Yes, Hope this weekend goes better Notax

Heres a bit of colour until our kid finds his film.

This was a 100% fun rally and a great taster of Belgium rallying, also full of awesome machinery (M3 GP.A's, 1M's, GT3's, wrc's etc )



Bit cautious on the gravel at first, we saw a few casualties



We began to find the strengths of the car in the afternoon, got her working and stopping pretty good



Whos says you never win anything when you go rallying

Beginning to get the feel for it on Stage 8
