This weekend see's me finally (hopefully) get to take part in my first Special Stage rally... at the second attempt after last years disasterous outing at Manby!

The car has been taxed which allowed me to go out in it last night to try to get used to it. Being used to driving cars with such luxuries as ABS and Power Steering over the last few years, it was a bit of any eye opener... especially with regards to the braking!

The tyres have been sorted and, with the forecast for rain/snow over the weekend, I'll probably be running on roa tyres! The Harnesses are fitted with brand spanking new eye bolts for the crutch strap and the intercom was moved from the Escort last night.

The aim for the weekend is to get to the finish. The stages are short and all smooth tarmac so it will give me a good oppotunity to get used to the feel of the car and give it some welly! There are some pretty interesting events that we're looking at during the year so there's no point in wrecking it on my first outing!
