| weeton nets a valiant 11th of 19, and a whole car to bring home on a trailer! |

| |
| Team Duck on the podium! A feather fluttering second on the longcross stages and a trip to the pub to celebrate put smiles on faces... |
| 2005-05-15 15:48:27 |
| |
| ss1 spin, missed split, rolled. Coming home. |
| 2005-04-17 05:41:30 |
| |
| Team Duck survived woman attack to finish 6th in Formula 1000 at Three Sisters. Made woman mad by accidentally holding her up! Otherwise good run. |

| in wales, holding f1000 pts. And the class b1 beginners overall champion is... Matt Burt. I'll get your ticket to the awards today, you legend! |

| |
| round of yr with non-pts run at rockingham, inc two night stages (eek!). 41st of 75, 5th under 1400, 1st f1000 of 3 (one crashed, one we bt) |
| 2004-12-12 13:17:41 |
| |
| provisional F1000 pts put Team Duck 6th overall of 35, 3rd in class (with pot!) and seeded as experts for '05! |

| |
| last 4 soaked stages went faster than 2 champinship leaders. And finished a flighty 8th of 15. And didnt crash! |
| 2004-09-12 13:34:47 |
| |
| Team Duck water drama as car dies in big puddle for 2 mins. High retirement rate and decent times give hope of top ten finish. But rain now pouring |
| 2004-09-12 09:43:26 |
| |
| Or just a hint that there's abt to be a big accident? |
| 2004-08-08 08:52:59 |
| |
| Can it be coincidence that a team named after a duck goes from a barely feather fluttering mediocrity to fastest overall at the first sign of rain? |
| 2004-08-08 08:52:04 |
| |
| Crispy duck gets battered - an unlucky for some 13th on day one... |
| 2004-08-07 14:11:45 |
| |
| jumped ship to keep his championship lead. The top ten's out there, but we can't see it! |
| 2004-08-07 09:21:46 |
| |
| 'So where's title-leading Matt?' asks the F1000 world. 'At his sister's wedding' says Jim. And then they look at Jim's times and reckon Matt's jumped |
| 2004-08-07 09:20:20 |
| |
| car started. Nothing to do with ecu. As simple as an undone wire connector - by me, while messing with speakers. Off to kick self. Lots. And lots. |
| 2004-07-23 12:02:01 |
| |
| non-start. ECU spiked during welding, we think (who needs sleep?). No spare - great marshals' tabard though... |
| 2004-07-17 04:40:36 |
| |
| car starts first time! Plans to start a new life as a wiring bod begin (cue probable sparks, explosions etc...) |
| 2004-07-16 09:47:58 |
| |
| Duck Mk2 purchased (thanks Tristan!). And 12 whole days to turn it into a rally car... |
| 2004-07-04 10:21:32 |
| |
| Ducking shell too bent to save after all. Off to pub to begin wake. |
| 2004-07-02 15:45:50 |
| |
| The Micra lives! It's going to be a bit dog-eared, but it can live on in terms of driving straight etc. Entry is in for next event on July 17... |
| 2004-06-22 12:37:53 |
| |
| Rolled. Car scrap. Both ok |
| 2004-06-20 12:34:24 |
| |
| make start with minutes to spare after suspension snapping drama, clobber everything possible to knacker four tyres and a rim, but somehow 5th... |
| 2004-06-20 08:32:25 |
| |
| Team Duck to ruffle a few feathers on Sunday's Weeton Stages. Top 5 will earn Matty 1st overall in co-drive pts. Don't ask how - we do the math! |
| 2004-06-19 08:11:13 |
| |
| International test. Six stages of Rally Barbados to go, John Hardman, co-driven by Jim is 1st in GpB class. Shameless self promotion over! |
| 2004-05-30 13:36:26 |
| |
| Team Duck migrates into 7th position after taking flight over final stages. Best not mention the big spin after the finish line... |
| 2004-05-09 13:15:49 |
| |
| After stage seven of 12 we've paddled our way up to 8th. 3rd to 8th covered by 10s... Get ready for take off (and hopefully not just off...) |
| 2004-05-09 09:59:41 |
| |
| damp start prompts rare display of caution. After three stages Team Duck is barely flapping its wings with tenth in class. |
| 2004-05-09 07:17:15 |
| |
| It's feather flying fantastic! Thanks to some crafty joker work we're, erm, 1st overall in the F1000 Championship! Really! Gentlemen, doff yr caps! |
| 2004-04-25 16:26:56 |
| |
| eigth overall, second novice. Have now dinged every panel on matty's side and, er, none on Noddy's. Intercom broken, matt duck is going horse! |
| 2004-04-25 12:16:15 |
| |
| Team Love a Duck is FIRST! Except a timing mistake has given us a 30s bonus. Boo! Not much out there we haven't hit (sorry Neil!) |
| 2004-04-25 09:16:21 |
| |
| Shakey ss1 with an off, spot of reversing, baulked, hit tyre chicane - Matt's side, pushed door in - but on ss2 go 20s faster. You gotta love ducks! |
| 2004-04-25 06:22:20 |
| |
| new wipers provide extra visibility at Anglesey this weekend. Love a duck me lovlies! |
| 2004-04-23 18:02:26 |
| |
| pads, brake lines, sump guard, traccking, sound proofing removal and a considerable lightening... of Jim's wallet! |
| 2004-04-22 12:28:34 |
| |
| Team Love a Duck seeded 49th and 8th F1000 car for this weekend's event at Anglesey. Latest mods include new exhaust, air filter, oil filter, brake |
