I didnt really get a chance to speak to any mud clubbers!  We came about 4 from the bottom I think!  We completely skipped half of 2 sections due to us managing to get a little lost (ie 25 miles+ off course)!  We also got 0 point for one section that my navigator didnt write our team number on.  By the last day he could read a map and were were doing ok!  :D  What a laugh though, great fun.  I am in for next year and aiming to be in the top 40 :D:D

We were the 110 petrol that developed the exhaust manifold blow and lack of power!  Apollogies to anyone I woke up by doing a lap of the carpark in lockerbie at gone 3am :D 

Someone on the mac forum described the feeling as "mac lag" - I know exaclty what they mean!  I am still screwed now!

 :lol: :lol: :lol: We of team 47 had a 2 1/4 N/A 90, it was fine on the flat if a little sluggish but as soon as it got to a hill it all but stopped :roll: :roll: Still we were lucky enough to make it to the finish line completeing all stages and only a broken speedo cable to show for it! The 24 year old 90 did us proud, as for the Mac Lag  :shock: :shock: Yes im still suffering, as i sit here typing this post my eyes are trying to close :oops: :oops: :oops:  Roll on next years Mac  :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: ;) ;)

Cheers

The only problem I think with doing it in such an underpowered motor is the extra sleep time you lose!  We were almost last to both sleep breaks, getting less than 3 hours each night!  I can feel a 200tdi coming on!  I also need to work on the 110 bed for next year... 

I am in though, thats for sure.
