FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rally Deutschland

We're home, at last with tales to tell....

Well, we're home at last after a great weekend. Camper, Steak, Ice-Cream and Sparkie went, along with Donal, Karen and Kevin. We had a ball, drank the mini-bar dry several times, came up with some new sayings and came up with the top 5 rally excuses ever.

  1. In my Secret Mind....
  2. Oh, he's only my seat warmer in the works car.
  3. Ze tyres were not round enouf.....
  4. That bale wasn't there when I made the notes
  5. I had a slight electrical problem, piston through the alternator.

Besides the top 5 rally excuses, Steak & Sparkie had the inaugural meeting of the Red Mist Wine Appreciation Society (RMWAS). The meeting took place at about 3 in the morning, after they found the mini bar key...... The less said about that alcohol fuelled meeting the better. The second meeting was postponed, when they went on the piss with Andreas Mikkelsen, Petter & Henning Solberg, Kris Meeke, Mikko Hirvonen, Matthew Wilson and company. They were still nursing the heads well into the following day.

Also, we had another meeting of the Red Mist Society for the prevention of cruelty to 1600's after Camper got his hands on the hire car. His excuse was "The con-rods needed a stretch anyway...." Speaking of hire cars, it's strange driving a car that's taller than it's width, and it makes for interesting handling (Note to Opel, Fit castors on the wing mirrors of Meriva's will you? They've got so much body roll, they need it!). To be fair, having such a narrow car was gift at times in the narrow streets.

On the Saturday, we managed to keep up to date with Big T & Cousin Brian's Progress in the Cork Forest Rally through plenty of phone calls and texts from themselves and Colm & Sheena in Service. He finished tenth in class, and had a great day.

I've decided not to mention the "Hire Purchase Hotel"/"Ballymun Towers"; The fact that a bottle of beer could be got for ONE EURO on the stages (God, what a Rip-Off Ireland we've got); The amount of sausages and frankfurters eaten on the stages (and bought for half nothing, unlike here!); The fact that Camper got the special number to call if he wanted the Subaru STi Taxi, and promptly lost it! or a million other stories.

Instead, here are the pics.
