It is a pleasure to look back at a very long weekend, 700 road miles, 2 events, 2 surfaces, 2 cars, 1 DNF and 1 Win ๐
First off Argyll Rally alongside Bob in the Polo in the second and final tarmac round of the Scottish Rally Championship. A good start to the Friday with two stalls ๐ in the street stage which were soon forgotten about as we set off to the other side of the Cowal peninsula. It was great to get stuck into superb stages the event has to offer.
Unfortunately on Saturday's second loop an exhaust issue forced our retirement from the event, cutting our rally short. A big thanks to Ian Adamson, Mark and the lads at Dom Buckley RSC for keeping us going and looking after us across the event.
It was straight back down the road to sunny (it was sunny for once) Sweetlamb for the Grooms Garage Sweetlamb Timetrial brilliantly run by Newtown And District Automobile Club on Sunday, to jump back alongside Liam Clark in the Fiesta.
Coming out of the first stage with the lead but the job was far from done as Pat and Mark kept us in check, with only a 10 second gap at the end of the day.
A big thanks to Liam for having me back in for the event, it was great to go out and get you the trophy back. Madi, Zak and Dan cheers for keeping the pair of us going and providing some top quality entertainment and abuse.
And finally I think the biggest thank you goes to the chauffer this weekend Becka Scott for taxiing me round and keeping me in check across the weekend.
