Phew, the man Gunn is closing in! I'll be over to Athens in the spring to look at Ancient Ruins. Can I borrow your Dremmel, hacksaw and hammer, or shall I bring my own?

 

 

Many thanks for the team effort so far, and have fun on SS10. (fingers crossed!).

That's better, cheque is in the post.

 

Thought my car had hit and gone over the cliff, but maybe it was just teasing you all!

Surely it doesn't matter if the Poms catch you Snurfen, you'll always have the rugby to gloat about!!!

Hehehe, trying not to sing that song too much. If you don't hear from me Sunday, the half English wife will have beaten me to death for cheering on the Wallabies.

[branco 57]

If that happens, can i have your car????

[Ben_M 7]

Thanks Alexis and helpers for the effort. That last stage hurt but rather happy with 4th. I have always gone rubbish in Athens so its nice to finally get a good one. Well done to those up the top.

Well, what can I say...?

 

Firstly a big thanks to Alexis and the team for organising and holding this round, despite difficult personal circumstances. It certainly put the cat among the pigeons, didn't it?

 

Secondly, well done to all those at the top of the pile: it looks a long way up from where Barbs' and my cars were....

 

Thirdly, what on earth was up with the Mitsis ....including Mel's...? Were Barbs and my cars too light...? That's rallying for you!

 

I never get my hopes up too high before Greece , but this time it was a complete disaster....I really can't abide raid track...!

 

Oh well, still a little way to go, maybe the upside down tracks will suit our cars better....maybe....lol

 

Cheers
