Team L200 - Skytag for the 2012 Mac

Seems to be working today

Nick, don't want to worry you, but just checked the track, and it seems some one has put your motor outside the back of the work shop !!!!

Not that you will need it but GOOD LUCK

Enjoy the Mac! Will be keeping an eye on you all!
Done the 06, 07 and 08 Mac's and really enjoyed them!

Have a good one Nick. Gretna Green - mmm We look forward to hearing the result on Monday

Blog is also set up.

Not sure how much time we'll get, but we'll have a go.

Click here for the blog ...

Any one tracking them, seems to be blank on my screen !!

Richie - You should be able to get the map up on the screen but without the locations of the cars. They are due to go live later this morning/midday. We'll be doing the same on the H4H 4x4 Rally - teams will install/test the device in advance; and they'll go 'live/public' circa mid-morning on 16th June.

Now, plan B is ......................

This is brilliant!
Our friends, families and supporters are looking forward to having this facility whilst we are on the Rally!

Hope we don't get lost............

Yep - looks good eh! And tracking 45 cars will soon identify where the navigation by one or more might be 'inaccurate'!!!!!

On serious note; yep - really great for us on the H4H 4x4 European Rally for fans, family, followers and foe

See Team L200 is leading the Barkers around again, or is it follow the leader, or has Rob said, look Liz, put the maps away, and we will just follow car 34

I see that Nick is hanging around Gretna !!!!

He has asked if we can start the H4H from there as well, can't think what is going on !!!

Well who knows

On the subject of Skytag - It looks really good

Hungerford to Gretna (for Nick & Lynn's ceremony! - it'll be quite a sight; 45 4x4s lined up outside the Registrar's Office) and then to Portsmouth for the night ferry is quite a haul - but I've done the new roadbook; and it's just managable - as long as Nick doesn't dither with the 'I do'

Keith, had confirmation from hull ferry, no problems, all of us, straight from Gretna, to Hull, and overnight to Roterdam, pick up the route from there !!

GROAN .................

Fortunatley this weekend we went straight past Gretna without the need for a stop.

Haven't seen the Skytag track yet - we had no 'phone signal for most of the weekend, so couldn't log on to look at it or post anything on the blog.

I now have an even bigger problem .................. although we don't know the full overal results, we did, however, come first in the night navigation challenge. Which now means I can never question Lyn's navigation skills again

Click here to download a kml file of the route - should open up in google Earth.

Well done


Hope you had fun

Goes to show that the name of "she who must be obeyed" is worthy of them occasionally

Young upstart Nick - Perhaps this is the dawn of a new and professional career that could go on to emulate the likes of Nigel, Damon, Lewis, Jenson etc. Or not.

You were the overall winner of the 2011 H4H 4x4 European Rally, and now have more silverware from the Mac Challenge.

In looking at the volumes of awards currently in your hands, the committee for this rally has just had an extraordinary meeting to discuss the possibility of the H4H 4x4 Rally being high-jacked or the planting of crews, by teams who are professionals: your name featured (for a second). This of course is wholly contrary to the ethos of the rally - a fun event run for amateurs by amateurs (comments re the latter are not required!).

Whereas at this late juncture it would be wrong to disqualify you from participation - the current spate of awards wins means that you will now start with heavy penalties (following a recent re-write of our 'rules'!). Details will be announced in due course.

Please note that you will have also alienated a number of other crews - each of them currently outbidding each other for the 'wooden- spoon'!!! We don’t encourage alienation!!!

Finally – a great Mac result; well done to you and to Lynn.

Nick, thought I had best PM you, rather than post in forum, but, I have just read Keithes reply, and to be honest, I thihk he has got the hump, that, like Mike and I a few years ago, won the navigation side of the mac, he hasn't, so, as far as the H4H is, I think best that you withdraw your entry as car 16, and re enter, ask for car 40, and I confident this will confuse him.


Speak soon mate, and as said, keep this to ourselves !



The extraordinary meeting , it was very bias to green oval owners/drivers mate. so. no chance from the start, I did abstain from the vote

Ooooo Errrrr .............. full results have been published. Guess Lyn really does have a defence now

Does this now mean the rest of us have a distinct disadvantage???????
