Did the Monte Carlo historic in the golf last night and took some pics
Basically cars start from Paisley Abbey in Glasgow and have a choice of driving to Monte Carlo, Luss (on the shores of Loch Lomond), Auldgirth (Borders) or Reims (France)
We picked Luss as its closest to home for us but with over 60 cars taking part it was definitely a big event.
Having arrived at 3pm the weather looked nice for our 40 mile drive and the background for the start could no be more dramatic!
The weather was to change during the drivers briefing at 5pm
Now I must apologize for some of these pics as I was taking them with the snow blinding me and from an Iphone which is possible the worst camera for taking pics in the snow
Just about to drive up onto the start ramp and have my pre rally interview (cringe!)
And were off. As soon as we got out of the town the weather and the road deterioted.
Finally arrived in Luss around 8.30pm, the car park was pitch black so didnt get many pics but the little golf performed perfectly the whole way!
Must thank all the organisers, marshalls, the fuzz and renfrewshire council for putting on a great event. Just a shame the weather kept people away but its definately an event we'll be doing in the future!
