Having the kitchen decorated this week and needed to move a dresser - I thought 'wonder if there's any good pics in that box....?


Back in the days before traffic lights at stage starts we had to hold the clock and count down using our fingers.... smile That's me in the tabard with the clock next to some geezer in a Focus


Some bloke off the telly - apparently he did some racing too...



It's a shame that year I was holding the clock and couldn't photograph things - with Burns and Kankkunen in the entry list that the only other photo I could find was Gilles Panizzi

Thanks - I think it was the shakedown stage for the 1999 rally, that's why the cars are still clean smile

Great pictures... from when Rally GB use to actually be in England and visit iconic stately homes, shame they don't any more. Personally I miss Chatsworth House and Dolby Forest stages!!!

laugh well if you want to see the cars in action then get yourself along to Dalby Forest for the Trackrod rally in September ... http://www.trackrodmotorclub.co.uk/RYhome.html

There will be plenty of cars about with the nationals, historics and clubmans as well as the BRC cars smile

Oh man, thanks for posting these, I love seeing pictures of the old RAC/Network Q/Lombard events, I've got 2 A3 display things full of photos from the '70s through to the '90's, most of which my dad took smile

Great Photos smile

I can see it not being long before they just run 1 stage in Wales, round and round and round. A huge step from the glory days of the true Rally of GB!
