GB Rally 2010

[Beth]

Not an action shot, just a basic one, but this was taken (I believe) in 2010.

My Son was a big fan of Ken Block and we managed to get a fair few shots of the drivers at different stages.  Quite an experience if you like this kind of thing.  

I love the whole experience to be honest and although I didn't go to all the rallies, since my husband and I split 18 months ago, my son and I have gone together and really enjoyed the day.

A dull unexciting box which will get you out to take new photographs of new scenery  .

I've not been to a rally since the RAC ran through Haigh Hall {local place MrW will know about} that's some time since     

 

Somehow they don't seem as good when stood still do they  good shot though

My son would like a Honda Civic as his next car, not the new models, but the older ones. I've seen a few nice models about though.

Nah, you need another car or run another club and get in there again, lol. You don't need a dull box hee hee.

I love, love photography, but when I save enough cash, I'll be getting my wheels l!!!

Shall I share a brochure......you can help me choose lol?

Can I recomment the Roger Albert Clarke rally?  If you remember the old Lombard RAC in the 70's and 80's, well thats it! :-) Even some of the cars from back in the day

I love the old cars, but can't remember back to the 70's or 80's though.....only started going to the rallies from the early 90's. 

All brilliant fun though.  I love the sounds of the engines, the splutter and the sharp resonating type sound the exhausts make and the popping/cracking sound too.    Oooh I lovesss it sooo much lol.

you know it really pees me off that the 'GB' rally seldom ever come this side of the UK. We used to get a stage through Clumber Park, Notts and even near Scunthorpe steel works 

[Leon]

all the Rally stages have been cut due to the white coat boffins over the last few years, same ones who said playing conkers was dangerous, then agai a spectator was killed last year at a rally I was supposed to be attending

Oh yessssss, I'll be there on the 14 November.  My boy and I are going and depending on weather usually borrow a 4x4/defender. I love all sorts of things and lots of girly things too, very much a girly girl, but I love cars and anything related, taking a wheel off or bleeding the brakes....used to help my Dad with that years ago lol.....mad eh?

Yes I totally agree........there are so many that would dearly love to be a part of it, but sometimes its just way out of their reach.  Plus, I don't think enough recognition is given to the rallying world, unlike that of F1...........

Nah, that's cool.  I'll pop another photo on later and we could have it as a 'Rally' discussion thread lol......
