Jason Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 In no particular order, because most people don't understand cars are meant to be driven and it's one of the few occasions I can get out in a Triumph the rest of you are mad I love the smell of EP90 in the morning :-) it takes me back to an age when stuff was simpler we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I purchased my spitfire 6 years ago and it just was'nt reliable enough for that 2002 RBRR but I thought it sounded fun.With that in mind I set to upgrading with the RBRR in mind for 2004...WOW WOW WOW!!!The camaraderie, the fools, the cars and ultimately for me now as I prepare for my 3rd its the excuse to get out in the garage and get oily.If only I drove it as often as I fixed it :).Life takes over as do kids and family commitments there never seems to be enough free time to play cars these days.Where else could you find such lunacy and yet so much enjoyment sleep pah we laugh in the face of sleepzzzzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 The way I look at it, I can sleep the following weekend!Simple reasons why I do the RBRR:1. A68 Darlington to Dalkeith: I know that the red lights of the cars I can see in front of me are all Triumphs!!!!2. The A99/A836/B871/B873/A836 from JOG to Bonar Bridge3. A5/A483/A489/A470/A44/A470/A479/A438/A40/A466-WALES in the midlle of the night.4. So many friends taking part or Marshaling-nearly all made because of the RBRR and CT.5. The cars.Nothing more to say!

Jason Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Just organise yourself a RARR :-) I mean how far is it to drive round a few sheep and drunken Ozzies? Might take you a long weekend :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 An RARR, now that would be tough! How many miles around Australia is it?You could do an AARR I suppose. Across Australia Reliability Run. Darwin to Adelaide for example is 1870 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 1)To get away from the wife for the weekend oohh I forgot I'm doing it with her.2)After much deliberation we have decided to pull out as we couldn't think why we do it....only joking Tim.3)Drive round all weekend with the missus with the top down :)4)Hunt the U-J joint around Wick in someones back garden - 2002 (and the first car back...don't want to upset Ellis and me a girlie) :P5)Hunt the Rocker Arm around Falkirk - 2004 amd meet a very nice man called John.6)Leave home with a very tidy boot and get to Blythe and don't know where anything is.7)Hotel on the Sunday night ...we're getting old :-/8)Have the micky took out of us by Mr Dave Langrick...great guy.9)Watch Andy Pearce smoke a thousand fags...great guy and his navigator Homer Simpson.10)To be with like minded people who love TRIUMPHS, the friendship, it's addictive, the money for the charity, the road to Jedburgh and JOG, the rain in Glencoe, Coldplay, Big Country, Red Rooster, The Car:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Look out for spare hacksaw handles on the RBRR this year White Tornado crew... you never know when they might come in handy ;DAs for the RARR Andy Thompson's already done something similar. Problem here is that the roads would be too boring, the dangers of driving at night too high or restrict your speed too much. Ella and I are planning to 'nip' up to Queensland RBRR style sometime soon. Only 1,000 miles though :-/Would love to do the 2010 RBRR ... but I might be coming over in July for the Ironman France. More likely is the 10CR Decade celebration Martin alluded to 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
