/thread hijack ;)

I don't somehow think our 340 would appreciate it. She's happier snuggled up in the garage :P

Sorry,late nite+my painkillers get me all discombobulated sometimes.And yes your right,it takes a special kind of car to get through a night event and if you value and love and tend your 300 and wish it to stay in a decent condition don't road rally it.Not that i don't love and value my 300,its just thats what i build em for,also though it makes people who see them out there realise that they are not old folks cars but cars to be reckoned with,especially with a hot 2.3 in em.

Once I get to the bottom of my water leak problem I'll be out in my 1.7, it's managed good enough results in enough 12 cars now :D

And yeah, MJ's car is waaaay to clean for rallying ;)

yeah driving is more fun, but on most southern events the winning is pretty much all the navs doing!

Whats the road rally scene down with you Jason.Theres pretty much one a month round here but finances dictate that we can't enter them all so we just try and pick the most interesting and the most local.We seem to think that it gives us an edge on the other less local people, but theres nothing like going out of your comfort zone onto roads you have never been on.Its more of a challenge i think for driver and navigater.

sadly at the minute I have only been doing 12cars and scatters (once a fortnight), but I'm hoping to to the barbara carter memorial (nat b) in early summer, in exmouth I think? I'm hoping to branch out and do quite a lot of national b stuff next year but wasn't happy enough with the car so far (that will change soon!)
