I feel for the co driver, I regularly dislocate my right shoulder and it hurts like a very hurty thing and can make this large man howl like a girl (especially when I refit it afterwards) so he must have cahones the size of spacehoppers. Yeah, and the cage must have been quite tough too.

I believe that "gnarly" is an underused word that could fit well into this thread at some point.

Ahh pikes peak been there with an S2 quattro some years ago. I had the opportunity to drive up it and didn't take it something I have always regretted. As for co-drivers they really do need to have nerves of steel. In the past I have sat in with drivers of rally cars on numerous occasions both for work and pleasure,as it were, and it scared the s&@t out of me. As is the case with being a passenger in any car, as a co-driver you are just that 'a passenger' when anything goes wrong

i have few regrets, if any its the last glass of beer on the morning after with the thumping head... my only real regret is once i was offered a free trip to le mans classic in a genuine d type jag, i turned down the offer because of a girl... what a wally....

[JPB]

Hey Rich, just allow me to fix that for you please:

...I turned down the offer because I'm a girl.....

There, much better.

thanks john
about 6 weeks later the girl in question emptied my house & bank account, & ran off with a wealthy chap.... what annoys me the most is i turned down the trip to keep her happy.... please feel free to kick me up the backside.. what a wally, the most stupid thing i have ever done

[JPB]

Now I feel almost ashamed about taking the wotsit!

I hope that she got her comeuppance when the wealthy bloke traded her in for a younger model.

the rich bloke traded her in for a younger model

Rich did trade her in for a younger model, that is why she emptied his house and bank account

[JPB]

Dang! Terry steps in and subverts my carefully planned use of the word "wealthy".


So, yeah, rally co-drivers; 'kin nutjobs aren't they?

[rich.]

thanks for your support chaps!! have you ever thought of working for the samaritans??
as for the girl etc that was replaced the money was more difficult , but the best money ever spent.. as for the trip to le mans & the jag that was a once in a lifetime opportunity...
