Dutton Rally

To start off with im going to have a whinge about the organisation of the event for Spectators. Late last week i was given a list of where and when the cars would be at certain stages. I wanted this as i was particularly interested in seeing how Guy's bunch of cars faired and also meeting andrew. The schedual was completely incorrect i would understand if one event was changed but the whole dam thing was. I spent three hours in the morning looking for the right group and one stage was actually moved even though the sign was still up at the original position. Then i went to mount cotton and was lucky enough to meet Al in his R32. Which was great to see do the hill climb, luckily he had some idea where Guy was and after we got to where guy should have been i found out that Guy had left to take Andrew back to the airport. None of this info had been left on the website about any of the changes. Luckily for me i got to see the Golf and Polo to do one run of a stage.

Now for some pics. Sorry if there not the best.

Hey fellas!!!
Back in Tassie and at work for me. We had a great weekend, a driveline failure in the Audi so it was retired on friday. Wanted to meet you fellow forum members and spent a lot of time looking out for any stray watercoolers. I actually approached someone with a blue Polo GTI at Mt Cotton yesterday and asked them but no, They were following one of the many Evo entrants. Bugger!
So the forum stickers came home with me.
The Golf and the Polo went like clockwork all weekend. Thought we were going to lose the Golf at Mt Cotton when it slid down the hill on the grass sideways heading for the macadamia shell heap at the bottom but Dave manage to get it back on the tarmac somehow and pull it up!
I will post some pics shortly.
Cheers, Andrew
