Heh! Most of my rallying is done in a modern French tin-can (Peugeot 205), no-one cares if you bend one of them...

They're all great fun :) To put it simply, on a 12-car you get a series of clues, which the navigator solves using an ordnance survey map to give you a route, which you then have to drive in a set amount of time (which works out as an average of 30mph - not as easy as it sounds).

I've yet to find a way of describing it that doesn't make it sound either really dull or stupidly illegal - rest assured it is neither!

For a more in-depth guide see our club website - http://www.wessexmotorclub.co.uk

And just to show off, me navigating a Puglet to 2nd overall on a recent national road rally:

Good job its a night rally (when its dark) because those Oxford boys are likely to have been lead to believe its John Glenn's quality of motor! :lol:
