Bottom Gear Rally Report

[Sundayjumper]

Bump.... Kemble is 4th June and it's looking like we will field two OV9 crews this year ! Anyone else interested ? All you need is a road-legal car (i.e. has tax, MOT & insurance) that you don't mind chucking about a bit and getting dirty. Oh, and no more than four cylinders, and not turbot unless it's a really small engine. MX5 or pretty much any small hatchback is good.

Edit - surface is lots of broken concrete. Not suitable for lowriders.

Aren’t you driving Steve? Or trying to drum up a third entry?

[Sundayjumper]

Yep, I’m driving, with my SECRET WEAPON TEAMMATE.

Another family dynasty in British rallying is about to begin

Oh, and no more than four cylinders,

Sadly my cylinder count is TOO EXTREME for this event.

I hope you're not upset I called you a weapon

[Jobbo]

I bet Gavster weighs less than me too. Sorry Jon

[JonMad]

Be great to see three ov9 cars there.

@Gavster @Sundayjumper @JonMad

I received an e-mail from MSUK this afternoon telling me I had not renewed my RS Clubman licence. I checked and I have - I did it before Christmas when I got the notification on 21 December and I had saved the electronic licence for 2023.

Wondering what was up I've logged in again today and was asked to tick a few extra boxes and it told me I'd renewed. Very odd. Not sure what that's about but it's worth logging in and checking your licence is still current because there seems to be some sort of glitch.

[Sundayjumper]

I got the same email, hadn't got around to checking it yet !

[Jimmy Choo]

They've emailed again to say "oops, that was a cock up!".

[JonMad]

I emailed them back before I saw this, then, yeah, got the same 'oops, please ignore' email.

[Jobbo]

Looking forward to Kemble - and meeting SJ for the first time in person. And we're in the same class it appears.

[JonMad]

You should be in SB shouldn't you @Sundayjumper ? > 1.4

[Gavster]

Looking forward to unleashing my RACE licence. I got some new glasses from Specsavers this week, so I should even be able to see any obstacles too

[Gavster]

@Sundayjumper and I have cleared the waiting list and had a place confirmed for Kemble. Over to SJ now to get the mechanical stuff in order over the next 3 weeks.. no pressure

[JonMad]

Yay!

I don't think my car's moved since the autosolo in Abingdon.

[Sundayjumper]

Looks like I’ll be busy.

Better get on it before you LOSE THE SHOP

[Gavster]

At least the RACE driver name stickers have been added
