After much libation of the revered Bintang at the abode of Cracker and Rae (Shes about to blow)and with the assistance of the Navigator, Dave and Moira, Jim and Sue it is my Great pleasure to announce.........."BALI RALLY 2005 The Mysterious West".........
As we speak plans are advancing at Jimny pace to organise a rally like no other, and it will include other contestants(see rule beer coaster...Car 1 (ME) always wins), yes , thats you.
Rally is planed for June and will be limited to 30 pax of which 10 are already comfirmed. It will run for 4 days, with scrutinering happening at "The Bali Cyber cafe" on the afternoon of Tuesday 14th June 2005. Rally Flag off the following day at a time to be determined by the drinking habbits of the competitors the night before.
As the name suggests we will THUNDER westward from Legian with a night over at (Or near) NEGARA on a run that will take in as much as we can (Special stages) finnishing with a game of touch footy on the beach followed by drinks....sorry more drinks.... and minior awards to those who have stuffed up the most on the first day.
We then hit the ferry port of Gilimanuk on our way to Lovina via more special stages for a night over with more libation ans some sort of sillyness.
The next morning is a good run around finishing at Pacung (More of the same)for another night over at Dave and Moiras.
The final day will be a run via some back roads to Legian and the Victory yet again of Andretti and the Navigator.
Costs will be minimal and are being calculated as we type, but a Hotel cost of about $50 per night per person with breakfast and some meals.
Your car (and driver) libations and other stuff you may want to buy will be at your own cost.
We will finalise costs and collect deposits when we get the final figure in order to book the hotels with any surpluss funds or penalties for sillyness going to the school in Pacung
Now a early disclaimer
This Rally is a fun exercise and is a "not for profit" chance to do a run you may not normally do,with people you may not normally meet, and while all care is taken by Car 1 (Me and Nav) You are your own person and resposable for your own actions.
You may decide to undertake your own driving or you may have a favorite driver that you bring along. Overnighting your driver at any hotel in only arround $10... cheap as chips... and gives you more time to watch the skills and precision of Car 1 in reversing out of dead end gangs etc.
This could be a pissy trip,
MORE SOON
