Jason Pritchard and George Gwynn took a step into the unknown on Saturday when they had the first taste of four wheel drive in a ex Cathcart Group N Subaru Impreza. Tackling the Bulldog Clubmans Rally (which incidentally had a much bigger entry than the main event) the pair aimed for a day of acclimatisation and did that without problem, fourth overall being a big bonus. Next up for them will be the Tempest Rally.

Lewis and Cardell show boating............well something like that.
Well, I haven't spoken to everyone but here's the story as I know it.
Very wet before the start of the rally but the 8 and a half crews who turned out for BMC had a good day even with their problems!
Sara & Jonathon Williams shared the driving and 7th overall was a fantastic result in the Honda.
Wayne Palmer & Garth Ralphs 12th overall despite a puncture, spirited drive!
Stuart Cardell was sat with Peter Lewis in the red Anglia and finished a fine 31st overall.
Craig Jones & Peter Chappelle 35th even after a couple of punctures. You will get a clean run one of these days Craig!
Will Arrowsmith and Matthew Farr 40th after breaking down with a broken battery lead and then rearranging both rear quarter panels!
Alwyn & Wayne Arrowsmith 44th overall, the Papa of the clan enjoyed himself in the immaculate Escort.
Ieuan Roberts and Bonzo Bain 47th overall and the exhaust fell off three times!
Commiserations to Mark Hatton & Becky Hatton, off on stage 1 trying to get out of the way of a faster car and also to Phil Jones and Ian Jury who lost electricity generation but finished the Trophy Rally unlike Mark whose day got worse with headgasket failure!
