No Rhys, you are well and truly beaten now. Your nav went into a 1975 Corolla to try and beat the MX5s.

Congratulations to Mazlot for their efforts in becoming the best placed MX5 overall, and congrats to DCMau for being the highest placed MX5 nav. Unfortunately Pupat wasn't in an MX5, he would have taken out the top MX5 nav title otherwise.

Oh Yes, and congratulations to BiX on being equal first nav. The fact that your driver (and ex MX5 owner five times over) took out the driving events in a stock std STI speaks a lot for your courage

Even bigger accolades for making the end without seeing an FIV!

Try? He did, from what I read! Good job Joshie.
What were the special stages this time around?
Is there anything else left in the challenge?

Thanks, we did alright... pity we must have dríven past 2 VRCs (or got lost). Very tight points spread at the pointy end of the field.

The special stages were.

-Lap of QR. Starting at hole in the wall near pit entry around sprint layout (I believe) to garage mid of turn 6.
-Motorkhana in QR carpark
-Once around autocross track no cones out.
-Motorkhana starting at finishing line of drag strip finishing in carpark beside track.
-Once around autocross track with cones out.
-2 x wivenhoe
-2 laps around autocross track

Rhys, Going to make a quick dash back to Brissie to make a run for the title hey?

Ohh and congrats to BiX and driver on winning and it would seem to the nav more importantly finishing.

Congrats guys, well done.

Even if Rhys did come back to be a contender for the Title, you will be hard pressed to pry the Trophy from Abyss

I'm trying to remember, who was it that had their cats guarding the trophy?

I'd sick my dog onto the cats... but I think the cats would be bigger.

That was ages ago, trophy left my possession for greener pastures, never to return

How rude. How does the trophy feel about this? Or was it the trophy's decision not to associate with you again?

I cannot get near the trophy to ask it how it feels :lol:

I reckon it's me, it always is

mightyboy - Eric's photos will be available on the CD to competitors, hopefully be ready on the night. I might put a few teasers up tonight but I am being fairly mindful of not giving too many away as the sale of these CDs goes straight to the 3 photographers, who spent a fair bit on fuel and a lot of time to process the shots. I know that over 1000 shots will be in the final version. The pics I have seen are fantastic.

On the MX5 Challenge, I will do up the pointscore in the next day or 2. Wonder if the MX5'ers are allowing Pupat to score points for this event or not?

I go away for 5 minutes and look what happens!!!

Well let me tell you the trophy is very happy where it is and some of the stories it has told me, I can see why it doesn't want to go back. :shock:

I think the whole hand over ceremony hurt it's feelings!

Here are a couple of pics. Of course, I won't spoil it by putting pics of MX5s in action

Well the car certainly had less power than a mx5. :frown:

So who do I have to bribe?
