McShea in a VW Polo? What Polo is that? S2000?

[urabus-denoS2000]

What is Nesbitt driving?And where is the group N boss Colm Murphy???

Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a WoW Gold (http://www.usfine.com/) genre of online computer role-playing games (CRPGs) in and which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world. As in all RPGs, So please try WoW Powerleveling (http://www.usfine.com/World-of-Warcraft-US-Pl-c-53.html) and players assume the role of a fictional character not Runescape Powerleveling (http://www.usfine.com/Runescape-Powerleveling-c-90.html) and (most commonly in a fantasy world),and take control over many of that character's actions.MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player CRPGs by the number of players, and by the game's persistent world, usually hosted by the game's publisher, which continues to exist or and evolve while the player is away from the game.someone said that is a great idear,but i think it's a nice choose! why? because that and Maple Story Mesos (http://www.usfine.com/Maple-Story-c-71.html) it's a best games items for mmorpg,and somefor games player not to be our best games,lol~ we should try and buy some also we can learn some to improve our games account! ThanksRunescape (http://www.usfine.com/Runescape-Powerleveling-c-90.html)

McShea trying to get budget, but only has part, for RGRS Polo S2000 as team interested to come to Ireland.

Nesbitt and Higgins tried to set up deal to drive MMSP Mitsubishi's but no cars available as being readied for events in Estonia and Hungary instead. Nesbitt states will withdraw while Higgins is trying to source a Subaru but isn't hopeful.

Murphy has had dreadful start to season with three crashes in an Evo so far, maybe taking stock at present as deal for recent JCMR in a Global Group Subaru Gp N fell through. Was meant to be concentrating on Irish Evo series this season but that may not continue with the three non finishes.

Meant to say MMSP cars being readied for events in Latvia and Hungary.

Wish I was going back this year :up:

While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends, a college student led the way into the den. "What is the big brass gong and hammer for?" one of his friends asked. "That is the talking clock," the man replied. "How's it work?""Watch," the man said and proceeded to give the gong an ear shattering pound with the hammer. Suddenly, someone screamed from the other side of the wall, "Knock it off, you idiot! It's two o'clock in the morning!"----------------------------------Looking to buy wow gold?

Genie now entered in a Fabia WRC and Cullen has withdrawn.Nothing stopping you going back this year J4MIE,and i promise i'll not phone you and wake you up in the early hours

[Mirek]

Great to see Donelly back :)

[c4]

Unfortunately looks like Higgins will definitely not be there and appears that Lynch wont have car ready in time.

[Tom206wrc]

]McShea in a VW Polo? What Polo is that? S2000?



I just asked the question in the S2000 thread ;)

[GTA]

Sorry NO Polo S200;) for Nial... was getting close to find the Budget.... maybe later this year....

[c4]

Niall will use an Evo 9 instead while Higgins has withdrawn and Lynch looks like will be using his 05 Focus.

[bhoy]

Where did donnelly come from on the reserve list??
Each person that he starts in front of on the reserve list should sue Donegal Motorclub for discrimination!

Had his entry in but didn't want it publicised in case he withdrew as felt there would be too many high profile withdrawls for the organisers. Would have been no.13 but was moved up when Cullen withdrew.

[bhoy]

nahh i think thats a load o crap really.
if he had his entry in then im pritty sure someone would have got to hear about it and we would have read it or it would have been in the press somewhere.

[c4]

Wouldn't be too sure that it's nonsense as Donnelly seems to have been preparing himself for event the last while. Also has been helping Craig Brennett out lately with developing the car and was at an event with the Fabia to promote Craig's company Digiprintz a month or so ago in Donegal with hints that he would enter. Then he appeared fired up at the press day which was an indication he was entered.

He stated a few months ago that if car sorted he may use it in Donegal and used the car at St Angelo recently. So it looked as if he would be there a while ago. That dosen't mean I am impressed with the way Eugene conducts himself with the press etc, but I doubt there were any underhand dealings by DMC over this matter.

This thread on an Irish forum sheds some light on this whole sad affair. Looks like booze played a very big part unfortunatley...

[Mirek]

It is hard to say anything. I'm sorry for lost life but in this way that guy could couse even worse tragedy... :(

I wish Evans (I don't know if it was Elfyn or Meilyr) to recover from the shocking situation fast as it is even worse for a young driver...

It was Elfyn Evans in the Fiesta. It's shocking news but I'm afraid I'm not surprised as I have seen more and more people out on stages with boxes/bags full of booze and I even had to drag an idiot passed out in the middle of the road last December in Wales :(

I hope Elfyn recovers soon from this, I think the best thing would be to get him out on another event next weekend :)

Do you know that the unfortunate spectator was drunk? Forums are great to spread rumours but its irresponsible and insensitive, as a moderator I am surprised that you connect wales in december to donegal in june and give us stories like the above. No news sourse that I have read has made any comments like the above, no official word from the Donegal club has made comments or even insinuations to this effect and surely its best not to do it here also? Let the police do their job and comment after if you wish.

Thoughts with all involved, including the marshals who had to deal with the immediate aftermath, certainly when I have signed on I have never thought beyond doing my duty to try to help the stage run safe, its sobering to think that if it goes wrong your day of doing your bit for the sport could end in having to make the calls and do as the marshals had to do yesterday.

[52Paddy]

It's a big shame and never easy for any followers [or people directly involved] of the sport to take on. It happens from time to time and we risk this when we go out onto the rally stages. All the more so if we happen to be under the influence.

Never, EVER, Drink and Spectate!

[52Paddy]

By the way, take the above as a general comment. I'm not saying that spectator was drunk or pointing the finger at him.

[MrJan]

Not good news, regardless of how it happened it's a terrible tragedy for all those connected to it.

If the drink rumour is true then it's a timely reminder of how dangerous motorsport and alcohol can be. As Jamie said it's getting more and more common for people to be out in the stages with cans of lager or cider. Some of them have sensible rallying heads even when drunk but there are also a lot of people out there who just don't consider the dangers, inebriated or not.

On the Sunseeker this year there was a girl walking along a live stage (as you do, we've all done that) and as a car was approaching she didn't want to jump into the hedge because "If you think I'm getting these boots dirty...". With people like that around it's amazing that there aren't more spectators being hit (must admit that I felt like hitting her myself)

Reflections on the rally by Brian Patterson
http://rallynews.net/News/news08/June08/irishnotes18.06.08.html

[Rallyst3ve]

After reading motoring news there is no suggestion that alcohol was involved in this incident it appears the spectator jumped into the road to take a picture of a GpN car which had just passed, tragically the car was closely followed by Elfyn Evans Fiesta around a crest.

I would also like to wish Elfyn all the best for the future as this is a terrible accident which clearly couldnt have been avoided on his part he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Elfyn seems to have developed quite a lot recently in the Fiesta Sporting Trophy so it would be fitting if he could go on and win the title this year good luck.

[MrJan]

One of the first things my Dad taught me when I started going rallying was that you never go onto the stage without being sure that nothing is coming. One of the benefits of being raised going to motorsport events rather than discovering them on my own.

Exactly its one of the most important aspects of spectating on a rally along with standing in suitable but safe areas.
But there are sometimes places where you just cant hear the car coming and when its v windy etc sometimes best to be in areas where you can see the car approaching you from a distance.

[Mirek]

And that's why I don't like diesels on rally. They are completely silent. In fact N4 cars are also very silent except ALS (some are usualy running without). The most loud rally car I heard in my life (I'm quite Young) is Porsche 996 GT3 which is much louder even than S1600. When it was coming Lancer going a minute before was almost impossible to hear except ALS.

[Rallyst3ve]

Even the loudest cars you sometimes dont hear take this years somerset stages rally i was on the lower hairpin at Porlock and didnt hear AB in the Peugeot Cosworth he appeared before i heard it so i couldnt film it :s

[Mirek]

In fact we hardly have that strong wind on our rallys ;)
