Plus, I've better things to be doing with my Sundays. Such as posting crap on Internet forums. 


I've said it before, and I'll say it again; North East rallies tend to be very poorly promoted. A lot of it comes down to that it's been at 'x', on date 'y', since the year 'z'. We supported the promotion of such events by creating the events forum, and placing it at a prominent position on the forum index page. You can only lead a horse to water though.

If I had an idea of what was going to be at either event, then I'd have made more of an effort to attend, if there was something interesting about. Seems there was at Shildon!

Yep, the Shildon rally was well promoted by both Locomotion and the Aycliffe lot and Big'un had been wanting to go back there sometime, anyhow (it's a few years since we last went).

It was a nice venue for it, too, as we were able to have lunch at the picnic area and Little'un had a few goes on the massive slide - 2 goes going up each ladder, to be precise, because them's the rules

I was half tempted to buy a model of the MPD that's been passing our house almost every Sunday for the past year or so and is doing it's last run on the 59, today, but it would inevitably have been given a new livery by someone at some point and I wasn't going to pay £9 for something that would end up ruined with sticky tape. We'll stick to cheap crap from Wilko for as long as he's in that habit.

I noticed someone started experimenting with the destination displays on the Max, just before we left
