Enjoyed reading the blog tonight. Liked the pic of the random drive-by after Monaco. Hopefully will be back to challenge next year and will be looking out for the X on the roads soon. A lesson for next year for us? Clean the car daily rather than have a black bug covered bonnet that will need power-hosing this w/e. Paul & Francoise.

Hi Chip & Heidi (sorry Mike & Garry - hope you dont mind us using your message board to communicate with them). Are you coming back to Jersey soon? Would love to see you both and for you too meet Isaac. He may only be 17 months old but we think he could be a future winner !! Is their an age limit for the rally (obviously as co-driver)? Maxine & Mike PS Hi Mike & Garry 
[22:11:20]
15/05/2008 
Are the two of you still on the road? Chip and I safely tucked in bed at 9pm!!! So glad I don't have to give you my dinner, my seat, my life today. Congratulations once again. Want to see you here before the end of the year. Clues will be emailed soon. Don't forget the flowers nxt sunday. xxxx Heidi

Hi Boy’s your driving was not as good as normal Garry, so what we are going to do is send you to Bedford Aerodrome to try out the following. Porsche 911 JP3, Jaguar XKR, Renault Clio Cup Winner. As it’s on a circuit we will have to think of something to help the navigator (maybe a map). Geoff-CTS Well Done

I hear you've been texting everyone in your contacts list under M - good try. But I'll give you a clue. One of you has often bought me chocolates, and I have shared a few (cheap) hotel rooms with the other. Oh hang on that doesn't narrow it down much does it! Enjoying the updates - M.

Well done, both of you. Not sure about the trip up the mountain though, looked pretty scary! They didn't disqualify you for it though - try using a 'paper' map next time! Enjoy the rest of the trip. Dad

[15:28:24]

Won't it be hilarious when all the google cheaters get home to find they have £100's in data charges. cheating always gets you in the end! Im blaming you for ruining my education as i have an exam in an hour and should be revising instead of posting here. -Paul A

From Mike Marks I am really enjoying reading your daily report. Henrietta sends her love. I am working for an AID agency called Direct Relief International these days and my email address is mmarks@directrelief.org which I know sounds like a porn site;www.directrelief.org On a serious note I have just been reviewing the Hospices in Kwa Zulu Natal South Africa. More than half of the population are HIV positive and in one typical little hospice that I visited ten nurses look after 1000 patients nine out of ten being AIDS patients all dying at home where they are cared for on home visits because they cannot afford to run inpatient facilities.Hospice is right in the front line of medicine in Africa.
