Subject: Re: Spanish Police Author: Spanish Police [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: "Fri, Sep 17 2004, 19:29:57 PDT" In reply to: Chris Shanahan 's message, "Spanish Police" on "Fri, Sep 17 2004, 16:17:46 PDT" Yes, we are waiting for you all? Just keep to within the speed limit, give or take a bit and we should be fine, or is that fined? The Cannon Ball run is all about how fast you can go all the time, not giving any thought for any other road users. Reminds me slightly of the stage to the Nuremburg Ring on the last rally. We spent most of the time on the wrong side of the road, anyone remember, go karts then the ring, but the go kart que got longer and longer and it ate all the time away. We left the gokarts with only a few minuetes before we should have got to the next control at the ring, but still arrived within the time window. The only time my navigator confessed she was scared. >Steve Blair phoned me today to tell me about the >Spanish Police being heavy with the Cannon Ball run >competitors.

You wont have the option of displaying your rally plates as they will be handed out in Tangier. So no problems there then! Seriously, one well known Rally Organiser (not Peter Davis!) has been banned from running in Spain for 2 years, so let's play it safe please. Carol [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
