Real answer ,Neil Has been unemployed for several months and his Father has never owned a company and is retired from the oil industry.
Q:"Rallying is expensive ,you must of spent a few bob in the last few years?"A:"Aye last year I spent £30k of my own money,I always pay the entry fees and fuel as I know how expensive it is to run a car"

Q:"So Neil with all your experience what type of pace notes do you prefer?A: "Numbers allday easy to read and write"

Q:"What equipment would you recommend to take on a rally"A:"Not a lot those trip things arent needed,maybe just a stopwatch and a pen"
Real answer Neil cant use a trip,his stopwatch is a bedside clock (digital) his pen got lost under his seat,but he did retreive his pen when he found the roadbook that he lost under the seat for two stages.

His father!! That was nice of him!
His father has had enough of the lies to all his family ,and bailing him out financially
I think a sticky would help,and if anyone thinks this is at any point made up ,they can PM me and I will ring them and explain everything in full,I've been involved in rallying 30 years ,and never come across such a strange character.
'a strange character'!! understatment of the year

makes interesting reading though..at least his father has sense
Surely this is a pack of lies!!!!
How can you type such unwanted hatred against Neil,the peoples champion?
He has the X factor.......
Move over Gristy and let Neil in the hotseat for his time has come
Holy shit, this is a strange1 this is'nt the 1st of april is it?? surely a wind up? he's own dad hangs him out to dry, yikes!!!!!:eek::eek:

Your point is???:confused:

just that he was always on here, wondered if he had seen it and had anything to add.
I did wonder if Neil would appear on here anymore.

Before Jersey and as most of you that read the Jersey thread will read that I helped Neil sort out flights which just meant i went on the pc and found the flights and told him what days the flights would be and when he would come back.

Neil phoned me and said he could not get a flight on one of the other days, so I found another date which he later booked as he had a big meeting to attend and his father was telling him he had to make as it was vital to the company

Neil phoned me a good few times as I will help anyone when and where I can with regards to accomodation on Jersey.

He also told me his rally history which included knowing Colin above and his car which he sent me pic (which Colin confirmed he sent him).

What Colin has said above I can verify as Neil told me the majority of what was written.

while over in Jersey I met Neil at Service and introduced myself and he thanked me for helping him with the bits and peices for this rally.

While at the Rally party in the Merton Hotel Neil appeared and we had a chat and a drink then we (myself and my partner) went and did our own thing as we met up with rally friends.

On the Monday night I received a phonecall from Neil at our hotel room telling me he had a problem with the flight on the Sunday after the rally as the flight was cancelled and he was there with Colin who was kicking off, this turned out not to be true as Colin wasn't at the airport at all.

Neil asked if he could come up to our hotel as he was staying at one in St Helier and I told him myself and my partner where going for a meal but he was welcome to join in the hotel bar later which he did and told me all about his rally career lol.

a few days after the rally myself and Colin spoke on the phone where we told each other both our sides of the Neil Foulkes story.

I will help anyone like I did with Graham Henderson get a ride for the Jersey rally, but I am glad I never got Neil the seat with Colin as Neil made out him and Colin where good friends.

Neil if you ever read this please dont contact me ever again as its bloody disrespectful of you to treat people and lie to them that help you and give you the chance to co drive and information about the rally.

Colin, did you ever find out when he did get off the island and did you get sorted with his father.

On the run up to the Ulster Rally he was non-stop talking about the Ulster Rally and how excited he was looking forward to it, then in the end he didn't even show up... He left the driver (Mark McElwee) high and dry.

With stories like the first post, is it any wonder that he is banned off the british rally forums !
