Practically Classics Forum

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....

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

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

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.

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

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


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

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...
