Hey Dave... I've had my tickets booked for months lad

We went last year, and there are 4 of us heading over again this year to marshal . To my mind Killarney, Donegal are Mull are arguebly the best Tarmac rallies in existance. Can't wait to leave on thursday!!

just bought a new torch specially for the occasion and all lol

Superb! Theres 6 of us going up this year, didnt get off our arses quick enough with regard to accomodation so its good old camping at the mishnish lochs campsite. A convinient late night stagger back from the mishnish! Leaving friday morning sharp. What cars you guys going to be in and I will keep em peeled for you, maybe even buy you a dram.....who said the scots were tight!

Welcome to the site mate! Great to meet you at the weekend... I'm rather envious of your Carlton!

Hope it doesn't rain too hard at the tour of Mull!

We are going up in a convoy of our winter hacks. 3x sierra 2.0l twin cams. Hardy auld beasts, mines not going this year but a smokestone hatch, black hatch and red saph will be there, all with obscene spotlights! Just for that authentic rally look!

We will keep an eye out for you

Carlton not a bad beast, probably keep it for a couple of years then get something more special.

Keep it atween the dykes lads!

what a class weekend! ranks slightly behind sweden as my most enjoyable event of this year!! Class roads.... and the craic was unbelieveable! One of thee friendliest rallies i've been to!!

Didn't get to take many pics of any cas in action.... but heres a few random photos to give a flavour of the weekend!

Event winner Callum Duffy.... in his Mk11. Yes you heard right... a Mk11 won outright, beating numerous WRC Subaru's (inc one D.Biggerstaff, who finished an excellant 12th for his first time there!)

Final night fireworks in Tobermory (Ballamory for the more childish among you )

What Mull is all about.... night stages along the coast

Even the course cars look pretty cool!

'Recovery'.... you have competition

Taxi!!

err.. a random sign.

Top weekend! Great atmosphere and the weather, totaly tropical man! Hope you guys had a good weekend too, glad there wasnt any of the tragedy that occured on the event last year. Weekend wasnt without its drama, one of the cars in our group blew its head gasket on route to mull. Hats off to it though, it got thrashed there and back, used 14litres of water but got the lads home safe. As they say "old fordies never die.....they just go faster"
