1 day to go!

Well the recce for Paperclix Jersey Rally is now complete, my notes were written up yesterday during the day. Adrian and I are now completely ready to go. The MG Metro 6R4 arrived on the island late this morning and it is ready for tonight's scrutineering.
The stages are the usual Jersey style ~ tight and twisty. The hairpins are tight but certainly not impossible, especially as we have removed the big front spoiler to (A) prevent damage and (B) reduce the length of the car. We're confident now that we should be able to drive round all the hairpins. The stages on Victoria Avenue tomorrow evening look to be very, very fast and should be tremendous for all the spectators! The weather is set fair with lovely sunshine and warm temperatures so we're expecting this year's rally to be very challenging with speeds quite high.
The trip meter, map light and drinks bags are all fitted and in working order. The trip is a joy to use which makes life so much easier for me!
