Here comes 2009

Oh how I hate New Year!

Merry Christmas!

It's that time of year again, excess food and well not drink, but you get my drift. This is the first Christmas in many I year where I have actually managed to save some leave from work to enable me to take some time off, but unfortuantely I have been struck down with manflu for the second time this year. The good thing is, as you can tell by the fact that I am writing this at lunchtime on Christmas Day - it's got me out of giving a hand! - I offered to solider on and help, but the excessive amounts of mucus I am producing seems, for some unknown reason, to have put people off me handling food! hoo hum! So there is nothing left for to do other than wish you a Merry Christmas and I hope that Father Christmas brought you what you deserved! (deep uh?!)

WRGB 08, Shakedown.

Setting aside my annoyance at the seemingly 'anti-spectator' attitude of the organisation of this years rally, generally I enjoyed it. As I have done for the past few years, I again went to the rally shakedown in the woods near penllergaer, this year however, involved a long hike to the spectator entrance from the Junction 47 services. A helpful lady showed the way into the stage from the housing estate, so my thanks to her, as I'd probably still be wandering the estate now.

Argh! Dents and rallying.

Looking forward to the start of the WRGB 2008, I popped to Tesco to give my Fiesta ST a quick bath. Was then I noticed the dent and chip on the bonnet, in the centre of the dent was a 5mm square chip back down to the metal and below that an inch long split in the paint. I'm not a very happy chap.
As an aside, I've got my tickets for the rally, well mostly! Decided not to go for the full rally pass, but to get tickets for the Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. (I'm in two minds about the Friday, especially if the weather is bad). As it turned out, they'd sold out of the Shakdown tickets. Hopefully get some nice pictures this year, a little snow would be nice!
