Top stuff Mick !
Didn't spot you at all over the weekend, but I am not suprised.. they reckoned there was 10,000 + people at the first runnning of the C-tek stage yesterday !

Was a bloody awesome 3 days for me.. I will definately have to plan it better for 2011 though.. I spent more time running back and forth from speed on tweed than anything else.. too much on in one weekend !

Not the best way to get a win, but a win's a win and certainly makes the Championship more interesting.
I was talking to one of the Stobart guys and he advised that half the team were flying out last night the other half today and about 10 of them staying for a holiday. He will head home for 4 days, do some things at M-sport, repack and head to Spain for the next round, so no break at all.
The gear was almost packed by the time the Podium was finished and was flying out at 9pm last night, unreal.
Steve, you should have got out there as the car control and commitment from these guys was just unbelievable to see!
Yeh Damion, i kept my eye out but with a thousand other people around it was hard to spot anyone in the crowd.
Thanks for the comments, here a couple more and one of Kieth at KCF's gorgeous new MK2.

Cheers, Mick.

Hey Mick,

It was great to meet you yesterday, and they are some amazing shots! My other half still did O.K. with our 'point and shoot' digital camera, but you can't beat having a decent zoom!

It was an exhausting, but absolutely amazing weekend. We managed to squeeze in six forest stages and all the super specials - all of this with a nine-month-old baby strapped to my chest! Alice managed to get her 'Ford Service Crew' bib signed by just about all the Ford drivers and co-drivers, as well as team boss Malcom Wilson. So that was kinda cool.

We can't wait til 2011, provided the protesters haven't screwed it up for everyone.

Hi Simon,

You certainly did well with the Bub across the weekend, i was buggered just getting myself from A-B so a BIG well done and was great to catch up.
Spent the afternoon sorting out some pics but will leave the video till i get home but once sorted i will forward on the JM signing footage.
Not sure how you went but i had no luck getting any souvenirs from the boys as they take pretty much everything home which is a shame as Hennings bonnet was so close... :grin:

Cheers, Mick.

Thanks Michael, looking forward to seeing it!

Nope, no luck with 'souvenirs'. Going by what we were told, that bonnet will be auctioned off with proceeds going to charity. Such a waste...
