spent a days marshalling at the kingdom rally yesterday (i know were not supposed to take pics) but the stage was pretty much quiet with the odd hay bail getting clattered at worst, so after drinking coffee sitting with my feet up and smoking my lungs out the camera came out lol

i even won the marshals draw to get a pax lap in one of the top 3 cars , my choice was the darrian and i dont regret it one bit, it was awesome!!

after the rally finished this is the chariot i chose to take my pax laps in, all i can say is knockhill will never be the same again after this!! he told me it was 270-280BHP, nothing special my scoob has more

wrong!!

the handling on this thing was immense compared to my RA, with a weight of only 800 kilos 280BHP with a power to weight ratio of something like 260bhp/ton and being driven by a VERY experianced rally driver it felt more like 1000 BHP, ive never sat in a car thats been put to use like this before (the guys been rallying for years) and he didnt hold back ripping the wing mirror clean off on our first lap! , to say it was great was an understatement :-D :-D

What a lovely venue, I kept scrolling back up to look at the shot with the sea in the background :D


A lovely write up Dunk, the Darrian's are mega bits of kit. Nearly as nice as that orange, white and black Manta. Uber cool :thumb:
