Tour of Mull 2009

[cliorod]

Happy days Well sort of I have sorted a deal out to compete on this fantastic "closed road rally" called by many as the best rally in the world !!!
The Deal !!!!~~~
I am co-driving in my car ,with an aquaintance who has some reasonable pedigree ~~ finished the Roger Albert Clark Rally in his Historic Ford Cortina GT in 2008
He has paid the entry,bought 8 brand new tyres,paid to have 4 x 55watt HID lamps fitted to the lamp pod,ordered 100litres high octane fuel paid £600 insurance for total loss to the car whilst competing.I have bought some new pace notes and borrowed an in date set of Sparco Triple layer overalls.
I wanted to do the event this year ~~ It is the 40th Anniversary of the rally,and it could be my swansong ~~ Age and finance is finally creeping in.
If you log into the website you will be able to keep up to date with things as they happens.We are hoping for a safe and trouble free event

We are seeded at car 119

Hi Rod!

The mrs and myself will be there this year with team Anglia as normal! Mike has a fancy new engine this year - but has only had a small event to give the car a shakedown

I must admit the thought of the first stage through the middle of Tobes is just spine tingling! Can't wait to see it. I hope we don't miss out being chase car or i'll be gutted!

I hope things go well for you this year after what's happened in previous years. Good luck!
