The new ignition kit was fitted and thankfully all worked well. Good start. The DS then flew through its MOT without any problems which was also a joy.
However, still some work to do before setting off for the Rallye des Jonquilles on April 15th. A gaiter on the OSR sphere has perished and needs replacing - fortunately not a big job. The steering knock has got a bit worse though so the car is booked into Graham Morton for a good going over - I suspect it will be the drive shaft but will have to wait and see. Either way it needs sorting.
Two other pieces of news:
1) We've entered into the MSA Clubman section of the Ilkley Jubilee on April 22nd - just a few days after we return from the rally in France. Will be a challenge to turn the car around in time for this one day event but I'm sure we'll manage somehow...
2) I won a prize. Not a little one. A KRD !CVING ONE! Octane magazine's competition for a full entry to HERO Event's 2012 Scottish Malts rally. The prize is worth well over £5,000 and we can't wait to get stuck into 5 days of gruelling rallying plus a few snifters of scotch.
For a Monday morning this one is working out pretty bloody well.
