Rally in General

In this wonderful age of technology we are able to buy things from the comfort of our own home, check our finances and tap into a wealth of information. We can now have thousands of music tracks on our person as we walk around town. Yet sadly some record companies have taken their product and retreated like a caveman scared of the sun. Just what am I talking about? Copy Protection on CD’s, that’s what. Namely those great folks at EMI who put out cd’s and then invite you to attempt to play them. Now the music industry were no doubt worried about their product when the likes of Napster came online and made it easy to download tracks for free. But did ...  Read the complete review

~ Do you believe in life after death? I’m still not overly sure on this one, I like to think that when I die and cremated my body will be scattered to become rainbows, soft winds and fresh rain as well as trees and possibly a hamster. When it comes to ghosts and the like I personally feel that a lot of ghosts are like old recordings of people, after all cassette tapes are just bits of plastic with magnetic stuff on or something along those lines aren’t they? So why can’t people’s emotions and body electricity cause their movements to get recorded in surroundings? Some ghosts I think are people who are only just passed over and a bit lost so they come back to people ...  Read the complete review

Gloucester to Glencoe is a pretty long drive, try it, you?ll see what I mean. But on the way up to our Scottish holiday (before we?d spent too much money and couldn?t afford an overnight hotel) we decided to break journey. So picking a ?just over the border? spot at random, we chose Lockerbie. Now I haven?t requested a new topic for this as it is more of a review of my personal feelings of my visit and is rather an odd thing to write a review on. Now, Lockerbie was chosen solely on its geographic position on the M74, and had it not been for the events of December 21st 1988 I probably wouldn?t have even ...  Read the complete review

Thoughts Things have been a bit slow with the wrist injury stopping me from playing as much tennis as I would like, no part time job. This list has taken about 3 years to form of things I have thought about and things my mates have told me and contributed. Thanks to: Simon, Damien, Tom, Tommy, Luke, Iain, Julie-Anne, Robyn, Kevin, Ian, Thanks to my American contacts (Greg and Hunter), I didn?t get some of there but they found them dead funny so I left them in maybe you will get them. Why are all farms red? Do bald men wash their head with soap or ...  Read the complete review

I reckon the best rallying year was 1999 due to the battles and heatbreak i.e: Dider Auriol, at one point in the season it seamed like Auriol was the biggest challenge to (then 3 times champion) Tommi Makkinen, but with only one win for Auriol and four for Makkinen the title would go down to the wire, nine points seperating them, Auriol needed to win and Makkinen to retire, but it was not to be a good last rally for Toyota, both cars retireing ! title was Makkinen's. The season progressed with great battles from Toyota and Subaru and Colin McRae who got a great start to the season in the new Ford Focus which took him to third in the Monte Carlo rally, later brining ...  Read the complete review
