Day Zero: From here to there

08 November 2009

The first day of the rally, but a day before it starts, and the Audi 90, nicely fettled by our friends at Huntingdon Audi, part of the Vindi's group, has to make its first post-fettled journey of any length, along the A14, M11 and M25 as it heads to the start line, stopping only to pick up Juliana, the co-driving totty. It was also a chance to test the satellite tracking worked, and it all seemed to go fine thanks to the help of Ben Collins.

There's not much to say about a day like this - it's a journey purely to get somewhere in order to go somewhere else, and it's almost entirely made up of motorway. Still, the Audi copes fine with the tiny demands made of it, and we arrive at the grim hub of despair that is the Bracknell Central Travelodge in time to take a couple of beers from the school canteen like Bar Cafe.

I'm quite glad tomorrow is an early start.
