Suggestion: pics/vids/links from the syncro RTV trial all in one place, like maybe here?

I'd like to see how my run looked from the outside :mrgreen:

I'm sure it was much more impressive than that :mrgreen: I didn't need a team of course marshalls picking up the pieces of my van after my run :rofl

Id just like to say that I was only able to come for the day, but the obstacle course made my 2 yr old sons day, he stuck like a limpet to the fance bouncing constantly and making growling noises!! (this means its VERY good!). Seriously to all those who drove - thoroughly enjoyed it great to have something to watch in the afternoon! :ok

Anyone got a pic of C 767 ARW on the course? No-one's going to believe I completed it!

Great effort by all those involved to make the trial happen. Thoroughly enjoyed watching, hoping I can have a go next year!.

How about this vid?

I've seen it in one or two of it parked up, all the film action seems to be centred on lah-di-dah 16" Westys and some bloke in a white pickup who bottled it :lol:
