I left my bikes in the shed and went as service crew for my boss to the RSAC Scottish Rally at Dumfries www.scottishrally.co.uk/we had a good day with no crashes or breakdowns and finished 3rd in class and 68th overall an excellent result as it`s only his third rally. There was a very good field from the top class boys with fiesta r5`s etc, down to the local club lads, the armed forces had several landrovers entered as well! he`s running a Talbot 1.6 ti at the moment, that his dad used to rally a few years ago. The winning car ( fiesta r5,around £450,000 worth) in the service bay. A good couple of days, got home around 1.30 am this morning Anyway that`s enough about rallying, it`s back to the sd this afternoon.lol

Yes Steve, an enjoyable couple of days, we went up friday afternoon as you have to get the car scrutineered before the rally and it was easier to get it done on friday in case we needed to sort any problems, than rushing around on saturday morning, as the rally started at 8am then it was back to the hotel for a late evening meal and a good nights sleep.

Cor is that fiesta really that much ? nearly half a million I bet some questions are asked if it was wrapped around a tree, I bet it's a bit different than my little 1.25 zetec fiesta

How can any Fiesta be worth that much? Remember those old Talbots well though, my first boss had one, use to wash it for him.

Its unbelievable the amout of dosh that these cars cost, all the top spec bits cost a fortune. I certainly wouldn't like to pick up the bill for a top spec car, or the bill for keeping it running. They need some wealthy sponsors.lol
