Excellent Omer. Forgot all about it but won't be there to watch as too far to go but can at least see results now   

I'm at the rally, having a good time. I met McMurray yesterday in Belfast, and Rodney (scoobycollection) on the stages today.

gonna try to maybe squeeze in a stage or two saturday a'noon, but not much free time at the moment.... will see....
