Sounds like a great adventure. Shame about the ending (and the write off) which was the result I feared when you dissapeared from the standings, but
it could have been a lot worse; If you can walk away from it you can laugh about it.

Sums it up really.
I browsed in from having seen the images and thinking 'what weather to be out in a seven, good lad' as I often use my car when most would
not. However having now seen you where taking part in a winter rally, i think you are even more wonderfully mad, am very sorry here it came to the end
it did, although very happy to hear you where unhurt. And rather curious to have a go.... but I might need a while to make the bank balance stand
it.

Great post, great story, great adventure. Well done!
Thanks! it was a great adventure for sure. I now also understand what is wrong with the guys that do this kind of event in a pre-war car. Nothing at
all! That would be great fun, if not a lot of hard work...

Hmmm, I've been up the Grimsel pass in a blizzard shod in only Toyo 888s. It was late June though.
It's not going up thats scary, but coming down. On the same day me and a Pheonix crested the brow at the top of the Julier pass from StMoritz at
+80mph only to be confronted with 100metres of snow across the road. The road before that was dry but a snow bank had collapsed in the sun; Very scary
moment!
For those interested: the first two episodes of th TV coverage of the event (out of three in total) are now online.
First episode is here: Episode 1 No seven
related content, though...
Second one is here: Episode 2 this one
contains some footage of us on the go and, err, once we weren't on the go anymore. I'm the bloke in the blue coat that looks and sounds a
bit dissapointed... ;-)
Digging this up from the grave (well, the car's grave ;-))
Just found out the entire event report is now on youtube in one piece. My "moment" is at roughly 33:15, with a first appearance at 26:40
and 29:50. See here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVKkM9yGPrQ
And this is the new office. Less locost, bu no less fun!
Sounds like a great event, I'd love to give it a go one year
