It might not be a MINI but its good enough for me.
I would like to wish Neil Burgess and co all the best of luck for the Rally GB next week,

mad brummie · Oct 31st, 2003, 10:37 AM

yeah good luck to them

To show how small the Mini really is, you have to consider that guy is only 5 foot tall.

ButtonIt · Oct 31st, 2003, 04:21 PM

my god, how tall is that woman then??

NeilB · Oct 31st, 2003, 07:31 PM

Hehe - thank you!

I'm actually 6'2", Jim Holder will be codriving on this one, he is 6'5" - that means we are 2'6" longer than the Mini!! Tallest crew in the shortest car on the event

Anna McColl is in the pic, she is tackling the team management role for this one.

Good to see a mini in Rally GB

We have tickets for the Halfway Stages on Day 2 and I will be looking out for the mini.

Good Luck !!!

mad brummie · Nov 1st, 2003, 06:11 PM

all the best NeilB

Nice to see you on here, let us know how you get on!

NeilB · Nov 1st, 2003, 10:03 PM

Thanks - will do and keep watching Channel 4!

Shaun · Nov 8th, 2003, 01:22 PM

After Stage 10 the Mini crew were flat last but in 52nd place from 135 considering they were the last entry number 135 thats not bad going.

Come on Boys keep bouncing along.

I know it's a bit late, but I only just saw the thread..!
GOOD LUCK NEIL & JIM...!!
Just checked and after Halfway 2 they're still in it.
Doubt I'll get to see them on Speed Channel's coverage in the US though..!! (I'm just thankful that they cover it at all!) Do you guys get wooden Nicky Grist as one of your commentators on Ch4, or is he a Speed Channel special..??!!

mad brummie · Nov 8th, 2003, 01:36 PM

yep we get him too!!!

He was a co-driver which strangely makes him infinately qualified for a career in broadcasting!!!

GadgetGav · Nov 8th, 2003, 01:52 PM

I know he was a co driver... maybe a monotone delivery is what Colin likes from his co driver, but it doesn't come over well on TV..! Perhaps if he did it all faster it would be better

mad brummie · Nov 8th, 2003, 03:03 PM

Sorry, I was going for a sarcastic effect!!!!

I agree if he did his commentry in a co-driver speak style it would be funny!!!

geist · Nov 8th, 2003, 03:51 PM

Just got in from the Halfway stages. watched the mini go through both times.

It got a large cheer from the crowd as it went through. Hope it makes it safely to the end 2moro. It's lasted longer than some of these super expensive, technical innovations that are new rally cars.

Good luck, make it too the end

Shaun · Nov 8th, 2003, 10:58 PM

Stage 15
46th place
Did you see them on TV this afternoon? This is it the last chance for Mini In the WRC end of homologation, one last Hurrah come on Boys!!

Shaun · Nov 9th, 2003, 04:47 PM

They have only gone and done it.
Finished the RallyGB a mere 3 hours behind the leader.
Well done!!

geist · Nov 9th, 2003, 05:20 PM

Glad to here it, been keeping an eye on the results myself.

A big congratulations, better than a lot of the top works teams !!!!

GadgetGav · Nov 9th, 2003, 05:59 PM

Well Done..!!

NeilB · Nov 13th, 2003, 12:29 PM

Thanks everyone!

It was a real blast - awesome! Still completely knackered and on cloud 9!

Better than we ever dreamed!

Neil
