Before the off

07 November 2009

It's Saturday afternoon, and the Audi has finally returned from the garage, and it's now got a shiny new radiator thanks to the guys at Huntingdon Audi. There's still plenty to be done, as preparations for these rallies always get left to the last minute - that's part of the appeal and challenge.

However, it's not all as last minute as some. In an hour or so, Emily and Kirsten from BEN, who we're doing the whole rally for, will be arriving to pick up their own entry. The Astra in the fleet to the right will be their chosen steed, and it's notable by the very fact I still own it with less than 48 hours before the start of the rally. And I thought I was brave.

Our banger is mostly prepared, with the mechanical side in good order and a valet having taken place,. Now it's just a case of loading up the spanners, socket set, hammer, tape, etc., and then finding space for phones, sat nav, laptops, luggage and so on.

Then we're off!
