I missed this set earlier. Nice pics. The dust gives them 'life'. It's hard to beat a bit of 'Steer from the rear' ! :D

Whoever works on Hetherington's car must be kept busy ! He damaged the front left corner after clipping a bale at a chicane at Lurgan Park, and then he had a MASSIVE off at the Ulster ! :shock: He was so lucky he didn't roll down the cliff.

His MkII is awesome, though. The Millington Diamond 2.5 engine in it reputedly knocks out 320BHP !!! Did the MoviStar Corolla run on all 4 cylinders when it passed you ? I was on the Carrigans stage (first run) and it was on 3 cylinders....sounded really sick.

Thanks ST-Philip, it sure is hard to back RWD brigrade!
Was chatting to another driver who told me Hetherington damaged the car while testing before the rally then also had a light roll on the last stage, keeping some boy in work:)
The Corolla got going better in the afternoon setting good times, he was testing for Bushwacker next week.

Where and when is the Bushwacker taking place ? Mind you, I don't think the weather will be as good this weekend.

Edit: I've just found out it's at Omagh, this weekend. I can't locate any programmes or details of stage locations, though. I'll have another search after work.

Bushwacker on next weekend! Normally morning stages in Killeter direction afternoon round Lack /Ederney will let you know if I find more out.
This Saturday there is a Rally time trial outside Moneyglass in Higgins Estate, Ok kinda entry for it.

Yeah, I discovered it was next week, earlier today. That means I can have a lie-in tomorrow.:D
Thanks for the heads-up.:cool:
