Please read before you leave for rally !!!

Well at least i have a disco 1

I'm so glad I don't own a Discovery 3..............
Discovery 1 V8 all the way!

Simon

Totaly agree with you there Simon

Well have a hybrid but same thing

I have a disco 1 and a disco 2 as a back up car just in case I cant get the disco1 finished in time Everything that possibly could go wrong with the series 1 has already happened so keeping my fingers crossed

A

How long have us sensible people been telling you about your Landy's???

Now it's official

I will protest that a disco 3 is the most umreliable car I have a 101 that has 100% chance of breaking down on any given journey. Although Tom from team galloway has had a couple of problems with his along the way.

Just hope mine doesn't let me down on the rally

Remind me Richie, did I have to rebuild the transmission on my D3 in the last 12 months? No, don't think I did

Wouldn't dream of getting involved in any such rivalry.






There is no need for such rivarly, there's only one possible answer ........................ as per Richies OP

Dare i say its the driver not what he drives

There are some drivers who say it's the Navigator's fault! But that might start another debate

That opens up a whole new debate and tin of worms

We started the rally last year counting on one navigation row a day on average.
By day 5 we were getting worried that we hadn't had one and that multiple rows could be on the horizon. Later that day, we had one that made up, in 5 mins, for all the ones we hadn't had

The good thing about it was the kids shut up for a while

Seriously, though, it was all forgotten 10 mins later.

Julie and i have been together for around 8 years and never argued

Have had disagrements but thats about it

That WILL be changed on the rally

One thing i learnt from our instructor many years ago when i done O level air navigation is that a navigator is never lost just unsure of his whereabouts. Thats about the only thing i learnt from that course
It shouldn't be looked at as a row but of constructive decision making. What a load of B**l

Is that the same as "constructive criticism"

I think so

Oh yes - some fun and hot air ahead.

I recall one crew threatening to throw his Nav out; with Passport and some €s to get a boat home.

For sure it wouldn't be right if there was calm and tranquility in the cockpit Ha

The golden rule is be yourselves and trust your own judgements - if lost, stop where it is safe and go back to a 'known' place, use some logic - and set off again; don't follow the car in front; they might be going the wrong way

Difficult rule to follow, but, drivers, you're the driver and the navigator is the navigator, never challenge their instructions, unless it's clearly a dangerous mistake (in which case, 9 times out of 10, you've misheard the instruction). We apply this rule on both the H4H and the Mac and never got lost.
The only time it's gone wrong on either event is when the driver ignored the navigator.
On last year's H4H, that's when our "5th day row" broke out!!!!
And on this years Mac, the driver wasn't listening!!!!!
