72 again

We have confirmation that our number will remain as 72 for the Scally Rally 'Mille Miglia'.

The Disappearance of Sam's Pants

So, the first stage of the 'Mille Miglia' Golf has been completed and it has resulted in the disappearance of Sam's pants. The decals which adourned the car have now been removed, ready for the new 'retro' race car look (Quite how a Golf MK3 is going to look like a classic race car is anyone's guess!). It has to be said that it looks strangely bare at the moment, but not for long as there are lots of lovely new decals to be placed on the car - pic's to follow.

The Worlds Greatest Road Race

Here we go again! The worlds greatest road race, the Mille Miglia, gets the Scally treatment and as a result I have decided that the Golf deserves to be given a much greater test - especially after it coped with the Ireland run so well this year. Having registered already, we await confirmation of our number (72 again with any luck) and preparations for next June have already begun in earnest. The Mille Miglia is steeped in history from its beginnings in 1927 through to 1957 and in order to take nothing away from it we have been informed to take a more 'retro' approach with the design of the car. This means taking off the decals from this year and starting again but then isn't that half the fun?! So armed with new viper stripes and motorsport decals we hope to achieve a look akin to the racing greats of the 60's and 70's. Much like this in fact -
