Be even better if his surname was Raleigh

I would offer to marshall a stage or run a radio but ive been asked to take some photos and i cant really do that when marshalling. Anyone recomend a good place to watch from as ive never been to this rally before?

Hi All

Well will be heading north on Friday night for a good days rallying and a few photo's as well, should be a cracking rally.

Ibby, Have a look on the website loads of info (for a change) but the scissors does look a good bet as you can see the cars 4 times with out having to go very far.

Will be in a Silver fabia TDi give a shout if you see us

Right, back to more pleasant posting

I've e mailed our friend Mr Grisedale with the following short list of names for marshalling this Saturday:

Andy Spinndrift

John Cooke

Ian Tavia 4x4....don't know your surname, but I don't think it matters!

C.J.

C.J. jnr.

plus 1 motor club member and his daughter....disgusting the club not his daughter!!

I've requested that he e mails all the relevant information back to me A.S.A.P i.e. signing on times and map references, and will post them on here when they arrive.

Cheers everyone..the forecast is very cold but dryish at the moment...but it is the Lakes though, so we'll probably get a bit of everything!

My surname is the same as my sister's, and my dad's... funnily enough...

(cooke!)

Well how was I to know your Tracey had reverted back to her maiden name then Mr smart bum! :P

plus 1 motor club member and his daughter....disgusting the club not his daughter!!

Don't you start - I've already dropped myself in the proverbial with a comment about the daughter :eek:

Alright folks

For all those going to Grizedale Stages in December' date=' marshalling or watching our car has been seeded at car 12.

White Evo 4- D.Shuttleworth and S.Megaw.

Hopefully you'll see us more than once on the day.

Cheers

I'll give you a wave. My mate Mark Fisher (red MY93 WRX at the Sportsman meet) is co-driver for Peter Thornton in car 25, an Impreza STi 6.

Well how was I to know your Tracey had reverted back to her maiden name then Mr smart bum! :P

Thats a fair point..... but did you not connect Tracey and John? Tch.. I dunno...

So, whats the plan??

Which John?

Hang on..John Cooke? Didn't twig on that one...another brother p'raps...no you dad!

Still didn't think that your Tracey had the same name. :confused: Getting complicated this!

The plan...well I'm still waiting to hear from Mr GRISEDALE and will post in here as soon as he contacts me. If I've not heard owt by tonight I'll praps give him a bell.

We meeting you part way up the M6 p'raps? Services? Which is the best for you?

Forecast is still excellent BTW...cold ...YES!....but dry and fairly calm!

Can almost smell the forest fry up slowly drifting through the forest as we type.

Have requested a good spec for us BTW...we shall see. We MIGHT be split up.

Managed to get a marshalls point with an access road last time, so at least we had cars nearby for provisions... and obviously we need a dangerous spot that needs us all on one place...

Signing on 06:45-07:00. Map ref: 96 or 97 :confused: 325982

We'll be joining at J30... where's the first services, forton?

Name a time and we shall see you there....

Which one of us is driving?

If we're taking one car...which is the logical thing to do IMHO, then I suppose it'll have to be me as we'll be shooting through the Wallasey tunnel.

Garry M. is coming now too with his daughter, as he's had to withdraw his entry due to sponser having to pull out at the last moment...cash flow problems apparently

He's not a happy bunny as they've as a consequence lost their entry fee, deposit on the Subaru Impreza they were hiring to do the event, and the deposit on the B&B accomodation. :(

Whats the first m/way services after J 30 Andy? How long to get there? About 40mins? :confused:

If so we'll meet the Ian and his Dad at approx 05:15.

I'll have to look at which services it is but shouldn't take long to get there at that time of the day.

Garry in a bad mood :eek:

No, but he is wicked off...understandably.

Up to you, only bear in mind Gaz lives up your end too, and he wants to tag on with us.

Thinking...3 in the Furby with all the clobber + the full kitchen! :eek:

Forton Services then..between J32 and 33 apparently..say 05:15-30. O.K.?

Just awaiting confirmation from Mr Grisedale that inexperienced marshalls are welcome. Really don't believe it'll be an issue though.

Reminder to Ian and Dad, and Smiffy and Phil, bring your own grub/soup/drinks/cooker etc.just in case we are split up.

Guarenteed a great day out, fabulous forest and proper rallying on one of the best clubmans events of the year!

Forecast.. dry cloudy and a little bit warmer...but don't take that as gospel!

Forton Services then..between J32 and 33 apparently..say 05:15-30. O.K.?

Forton Services are about 2 or 3 miles south of J33/M6.

Don't for get to set the alarm. :eek:

C U there.

I'll let you drive Col - got to go out tonight to wet a babies head.

What time you picking me up?

I'm sensible these days - as proved on Saturday night

I'll meet you on Frankby Road to avoid the dog going ape poo and waking the street up :eek:
