The car was looked after by Legend Motorsport once again. Well done to all. If anyone takes any pics of the car on the event, I would be greatful if you would send them to the site addy above. Thanks

Thankyou to Mark Jasper for taking me for a quick run out in his 6R4 ahead of the Cheviot stages on the 25th of October. This car certainly has some poke.

Thankyou to friend Stephen Kent for the lift upto Otterburn today.

Organisers of the ALMC Stages in Ireland are looking to run both a 6R4 and BMW M3 challenge on their rally in 2010. With the interest in 6R4's competing on national rallies on the Emerald isle is has been looked at to run a challenge on their closed road event. Noel Devlin of the ALMC has contacted Metro 6R4 Online News to ask drivers what their thoughts would be in competing on this event as both John Stone and Mark Jasper have contested this event in their cars in 2008 and Jasper this year who finished a creditable third overall proving the Metro can be up their on the national events. Don Whyatt who now lives in Ireland and co-drives for Mark Jasper told the site "From doing the ALMC over the last 2 years ( a brilliant closed road event run just north of Dublin , 3 stages run 3 times ) the interest in the Metro in Ireland is massive, from 'what the fecks that' to 'wow I haven't seen one of these in years', then the feed back off the stages of how it sounds so sweet barking down the lanes. If Lurgan was to run a challenge for Metro's the level of interest would certainly bring in the crowds and we would be there for sure and as its just a short time after ALMC we would be doing both on one ferry crossing."An announcement from ALMC is expected in December.
