10/10/2008 - 15:20 Live from Scrutineering

The rally forum went well last night. Much talk about the new tar on the glen road - it's going to be slippy and the huge step offs are going to stop some of the cutting that usually goes on.

Duffy, Cressey and Grindrod


Calum Duffy is packing 330bhp in his new Mk2 and it's geared for 150mph. He reckons that he'll hit the rev limited in top on the glen tonight...

Where do you hold scruitineering on a Scottish island rally? Not a trick question, as the answer is obvious - in the yard at the distillery of course.

There's a real buzz at scruit today and now everyone's had cuts put into their inters, the rain's even stopped. It's really warm here today too. Having pushed the cars in the queue we've decided the Lancers are the heaviest cars in the field and the Starlet's the lightest.





Had a good look at the Sunbeam Suzuki which is very nicely turned out and has the tiny 1300 pushed right back in the bay - should be nicely balanced - good luck car 92.

Looking forward to the first stage now, due in about 5 hrs.

Thanks to 2300 club for featuring us on the news page, oh and the Sunbeam's been attracting attention on the quayside today.

More early tomorrow with piccies.
