Sorry to hear that the Golf was rolled today Geoff, I hope alls ok mate...

Oh no!

[RedVR6]

I understand despite rolling, the Golf kept going and started the next stage after the roll over.

There was a '68 Beetle running too.

Great to see some dubs represented in Rallying... Love to build one of my own one of these days

Hi all... Well we've been home about 2 hours. We'll news does travel fast. We tripped the Golf over about 1.5 km from the end of the 2nd stage in the Prologue on Friday. We got into an up hill right hander a bit to fast and what looked like being a spin turned into a soft roll over as the front wheel cliped the small bank on the inside of a the cornor. We were totally un injured. Thanks for all your concerns. We repaired the car Friday night to start the main event on Saturday morning but at the back of the field. I'll post photos and more later ....Cheers Geoff

Rach told me via Text message on friday night. She seemed to think it was pretty funny more than anything so i guessed that you guys were ok. I said to her "Atleast he found the limit!" Haha .

[Jarred]

Good to hear you're ok Geoff! I got a bit nervous when I heard about it, but then I remebered you've got a roll cage!

[Peter Jones]

Oh dear, glad to hear everyone's alright. Let me know if there's any bits I can help out with.

Pete

[Peter Jones]

Geoff just sent these through.

[Water Boy]

Im glad everyone is ok, I was told that the navigator was hurt, glad everyone is safe!

[Jarred]

oh geez, that brings a real pang to my heart, for more than the obvious reasons.

[Geoffrey Hale]

Hi All...... Jarred the site of a Mk 1 upside down is always concerning but more so when it's your own.
By the way, neither my navigator or I were injuried and were as a matter of course examinied buy the medicial officer soon after the incident....Geoff

[Geoffrey Hale]

dad rolls his car on the PROLOGUE of the alpine rally. (prologue decides the start order of the rally) hahaha good one.

[Geoffrey Hale]

Hi all....Well that's ok Rach.... I was in a good tough VW product which was good enough to hack the pace and keep going unlike that Jap rubbish that you were co driving in which failed to go the distance. LOL .. Cheers Geoff
