Skoda Rally Blog

I’ve been taking it easy. I’ve never denied that. But that’s easy by rallying standards. Now, I’m certainly not going to say I’m hardcore by anyone’s standards, but a number of people have told me that if I’ve not crashed, then I’m not going fast enough. Personally, I think that’s a lot of crap. I’ve always been one to learn by building up to a level, not by shooting my mouth off and going over my limit and then spectacularly failing. And added to that, if I crash the Skoda I won’t be rallying it for a while as I haven’t got anywhere to re-shell it, or any money to do it. And so on.

Anyway, excuses enough! Here’s some footage at the end of Stage 8 from the Sunseeker, which shows that maybe I am trying, and do have the odd moment or two. ‘kay? It’s another DivX encoded AVI, so you’ll need DivX to play it. But being an Internet movie thief, you no doubt have it already! This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, but it’s the first one I’ve got on video.

I don’t know how fast we were going, but it seemed to take an age to be over, and it was fast enough to warrant an apology and some new underwear…..
