This is a clubman/amateur driver (Barry Johnson) on this weekend's Jim Clark rally. (The only rally to take place on closed roads in mainland UK. )

The car went on the limiter on the crest and thats 220 KPH!

 

When we landed we were both winded and the shockers burst thats what caused the fire, the boot and rear quarters are bent down about 6 inches

 

 

"It was one small step for mankind"

 

They say no "pain no gain" and this is true cos i am going to gain a canny bill for the repairs.

 

The bottom line is we are both going to recover and thats all that matters [:Y:]

 

On a lighter note; when i was in A+E the doctor came in and asked what had happened.

 

I explained it went like this;

 

I was doing 220KPH down the road, he said what type of road, i said single track back road.Then i took off on a jump and flew 60 metres and landed heavily... He said "your in the wrong hospital mate the mental hospital is 5 miles up the road"
