Monte Carlo
I'm back from the Monte and I must say it has been an excellent Rally. Highlights must have been getting Petter's and Phil's signature and partying away with Kris Meeke, Guy Wilks and P.G. Anderson.
Here are some of the best photo's taken over the even, I might make some desktop wallpapers from them if people are interested to download off the site. Drop me an email with the filename you want.
I have very quickly edited my camcorder footage into a small movie 3 mins long. I have created 2 versions of it, both have the same content although I have reduced the quality a little to keep the file size down.
