I like my peace and quiet, but I just loved the rally. It was noisy, but the people doing it were polite and helpful, and it was a pleasure to have it going on. Sad to think that one day everything like this will be banned - either because some children could possibly get horrible diseases from the fumes or, more likely, because someone is enjoying him/herself, and that can't be allowed.<br /><br />Rally on - and I speak as someone with no interest in cars whatever.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-49584468297755955202010-02-14T17:30:16.208+00:002010-02-14T17:30:16.208+00:00I couldn't agree more, I am nodding my head fu...I couldn't agree more, I am nodding my head furiously here.

I suppose it is the Towy Valley equivalent of your Teifi Valley lot who come past our door in the wee small hours, but the sounds and the experience is pretty much identical to yours!
