Stage 8: Calgary


Stage 9: Mishnish Lochs


Stage 10: Gribun


Stage 11: Loch Scridain


Stage 14: Loch Scridain

Nearly a disaster on the Lochs... but they've finished!

A lucky escape in the Lochs stage when t'Astra went off the road after the windscreen got misted up following a leaking washer fluid bottle, fortunately Dave kept his foot down and the car got back on the track.

7 places made up on the last stage and Dave and Caroline have finished in a brilliant 32nd place. Off to Tob for the finish...


...and here we are!

A brilliant few days, well done to the rally organisers for a great event.

Mmmmmmm pie :)

Getting ready for the final leg

With around 55 miles of stages to go the service crew do their final checks on t'Astra and fit the spotlights.

And Mal appears to be taking aim before firing!

Service Daves make a sign!

While waiting for Dave and Caroline to get back from the stages the service Daves decided to make a sign for Mulldave HQ.

<<<< and there it is!

Leaderboard climb continues in Leg 2

The daytime stages are now complete and Dave and Caroline have moved up to 40th place.

No major problems although the soft compound tyres went off on the Lochs stage causing a bit of time loss and the Astra had a slight moment on the Calgary Steps.

Time for tea!

A great start for the Mulldaves

Leg 1 of the Mull Rally is finished and the Mulldaves have had an excellent run to 47th from a start number of 85. A storming drive on the first stage saw Dave and Caroline catch and overtake the car a minute ahead of him within a few miles.

The Astra has been troublefree with just routine checks planned for the morning.

Leg 2 starts with the Loch Tuath stage and the Mulldaves will be starting around lunchtime.

Scrutineering passed, chips eaten

Here's t'Astra going through scrutineering at the Tobermory distillery.

After being passed to start the rally some of the team headed to the famous chip van for a healthy pre-rally lunch :)

We're off to scrutineering

Jobs completed and in-car camera installed, we're off doon the road to Tob for scrutineering and some lunch.

What a pretty view we have from our HQ!

Mulldaves go to school

Some of the Mulldaves went to Tobermory High School this afternoon with Team Manager Medich giving a talk on rally safety to all the kids. Driver Dave was also there wi t'Astra on display. The kids all got goodie bags from Tunnocks and three of them won a spin with Callum Duffy (lucky sods!).

Team Mulldave ready to go

On the eve of the Mull Rally Team Mulldave have almost completed their preparations. Recceing has gone well and the crew just have a few minor jobs to do on the car before scrutineering tomorrow.

Stay tuned to see how the Mulldaves get on!

Mulldave's HQ

The Mulldaves are on the island and here's a pic of the team HQ, a big huge farmhouse near Salen.

The service tent is set up and 5,000 sticks have been found to throw for the dogs.
