I did have a number plate light die this year!!!! ;)

[DaveKent]

time to scrap it then!!!! still you don't it need anyway, it's all "old hat" now ;) ;D

[Sienna PI]

LOL!   Its old hat for the wife, not me!

I will be asking all who took part to vote.

Either no one took any notice of the form within the Finals, or forgot. I only got 3 forms back.

At the mo. my vote would go for one of the following:
John Haynes' TR5
TS2
Doug Thompson's 2000
Tom Key's TR5
Dave Pearson's Courier van

My other thought was that all the cars looked better at the end?

Mine only looked better because all of the dirt and crap covered up my rust!  ;D

I managed to write "the stig made us do it" and "RBRR 2010 Jon and Daz" on my windscreen, it was so dirty at the end!

My favorite for all the laughs Darren and I had "Its that shitbox aclaim!" (the white one with an exhaust issue at the airport.

Ah- yes. me and keith talked about nominating a car, but forgot to fill in the paperwork!

This was a favourite of ours 8). Driven fast and well, even with the toast rack ;).
My personal vote went for Keiths car- a real blast to drive. Tractable, docile and yet it would motor on fantastically when required. A credit to his efforts 8).

Well from a biased point of view my favourite car on the run was the Shed owned by Andy Pearce.
However I can appreciate that this is based on the fact that I've just done 2000miles in it.
If any other car owner feels that this is wrong let me drive your car for a bit and I'll see if I change my mind....sound fair?

It has to be TS2 for me. Kept ahead of the pace even in dire weather and has to have been the most challenging car to drive on the run. The impressive little TR2 didn't miss a beat either.

Personally, I fell a little in love with the Coke TR7 I was driving which also didn't miss a beat but for a split dipstick tube easily sorted. Matt and I were also pretty keen on Nigels blue 2000 above, despite its ridiculous headlights. It was as if a football pitch had arrived on your bumper when it was behind you!

This was my 2nd RBRR (did it in a Dove last time) and it seemed a little more relaxing and do-able this time around.

An awesome event , thanks to all !

Was there? Clearly missed that one  :o

But my vote goes to Dave Pearsons Courrer van  8)

I was thinking all the way around about which car to vote for, then promptly forgot at the Plough. I was focussed on food and bed to be honest, and suspect others were the same.

[Matt George]

Easy decision for me - as Wayne said, I completely fell in love with Nigel's fabulous saloon! Massively inspired to get cracking on with mine now  :)

From a spectators' perspective:

My wife was thoroughly taken with the silver GT6. We caught it twice -- the first time when we were sitting in the layby at the Cromarty Bridge waiting for the first cars to go past on their way to Conon Bridge. The second time -- when it passed us leaving Conon Bridge -- I swear she swooned :K)

For me, difficult this year :X I'm a sucker for the big Saloons and normally Nigel Gair's car would top my list. But on this occasion it's probably Chatterton's borrowed steed that gets my vote. Purely on the basis that if my white Saloon looks anywhere near as good as this car when I get it sorted I'll be well pleased - and TBH somewhat surprised :X Have to say though it was looking very demure when I saw it in the car park at the hotel - no hint at all of its dirty habits  ;D

A-hem! :) It's even better to drive! Was that you on the other side of the road then, as we left Conon Bridge- I remember we got a big smile. It's a real sum of its parts that car- fantastic.

I liked the 2litre blue mk2 saloon estate- that was a lovely low mileage car that went well. Had a few nice chats with the owners too. :)

May well have been :) I was taking pics on the other side of the road when you left the hotel (just realised I got a pic of the GT6 leaving which for some reason I didn't include in my Conon Bridge Pics thread, l'll add it later).

[AlanChatterton]

For me, a toss up between Nigel Gair's 2000 and Andy Roberts Stag saloon, Janey.....................

[Caroline]

Particularly as Janey's guts were all out over the floor at Conon Bridge and she still continued!!

[AlanChatterton]

it was only a propshaft joint being replaced!

[Lord Sorbington]

My own.  

I was glad I only had a 45 mile trip home (via that great Ellesmere road) to a cold beer and a warm bed at 2am on the Sunday instead of another 1000 mile slog.
