Now that i have sort of worked out how to post pics i have a few of the racer.
She's two years old and was build to challenge spec as the guys who built it were going to do some of the rounds but never did. Other than the E36 steering rack and its running Kuhmo's, or what else i can find its still as challenge spec. I didnt really want to move to far away from it for a few reasons, one is the cost, lots of trick bits more often than not mean lots of trick bills as well, and two is that if we can rise the money we would love to go do a round or two so i want it on the same level as everybody else. Having said that i'm looking into changing a few bits that can be easily changed back again if that happens, the front brakes are the first in the firing line bloody things have almosts kill us a good few times and a bigger exhaust manifold would be nice as well.
And yes it did hit the ground with a very big bang!!!
Thanks to Andrew Cowley for the last two pics

Its Callens jump just north of Peel, you know the juction that turned you right onto the Switch Back road in the last rally? well if you had turned left travelled down the road for about 300 yards you come to a hairpin juction its down that road. No idea what the road is called, but i'm sure you can me!! lol

It's quite alright Kex.
John, I would say that it is the Lergydoo road off the top of my head. Off the A4 you go up what looks like a private lane with fancy gate posts and then carry on up through a slippy farmyard onto the Switchback.

Here is a slightly cropped version of the above.
From the email you sent me John, depending on which way they run SS2 there is a possibility that on this years JAKS Stages that you may sample the jump. Or, if the route is similar to last years stage in the area, you may go over the jump on the road that runs parallel to it which is tame in comparison.

Boil washes can damage the frilly trims.
