Widespread coverage of Glasgow's Monte in all media. Here is one film from Evening Times http://bcove.me/on8xc2gq
All three course cars are in Dover. At non-obligatory stop at Waltham Abbey, 33 competitors checked in. No casualties to date. Good going.
Course car now on its way to Dover for ferry to Calais. No mishaps yet. That's the Monte spirit! I'm tired just tweeting about it.
Man behind the rally, Douglas Anderson, reaches Waltham Abbey in early hours despite almost running out of fuel on A1!
