they don't publish the specifics, but I think it ends up at the St. George's Hotel in Llandudno, sometime mid afternoon. If the weather reports are right, everyone will be needing snow chains!

Just got back, ended up being an observer on the stage, making sure the cars all stopped properly in a 'box' before setting off hell for leather to the next test. Good fun day, cooooold mind you and the horizontal hailstorm stung my ears a bit Smile

Lots of Volvo Amazons, a few Minis, Cit DS, 240Z, various Zephyrs and so on, all in all a good day! 60-70 cars I suppose went through

Hi

I was busy today so decided to give the rally a miss.

I have just the etire for this weather. I was dry and warm, well too hot today! It is a waterproof, thermal pair of overalls it is like a sleeping bag with legs and arms. Also comfirms to hivis standards, so is safe.

Whats more only costs £35.00

Look forward to some pics!

Where were you situated.

Cheers

Dave

I wasn't able to take any pics, too busy waving Stop signs around as old cars came slithering towards my cones Smile however, a friend did spot old cars heading through his village not far from here, and has sent some pics over, so I'll try and get the rest from him!

ttfn, R
