Raider Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 :D And how about the history of the NGK spark plug? :DOne thing I would recommend after recent events is a decent car compass even if we have proper road signs as opposed to jihnny foreigner land! ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Tim,over the last few months have writtin a load of stuff for Martin on car prep which he is going to use in the competition corner of the mag,would also like to add that I broke all my own rules on the 10CR just to prove you do need decent prep! the big red bus is now back on six and running like a dream! shame I didnt have the R+D time before the evnt! never mind read my prep notes in CT !

Luke Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 ;DMy only advice about preparation after 3 european tours and 3 RBRR's is use your car every day and don't forget to grease your nipples if you a Herald driver!! Could prove Vital if you forget the latter!! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 ;D I remember when commenting that it is important to grease niplles that a young lady asked me whether that was an instruction or a request! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 :) I think the greasing of nipples deserves a more apprpriate venue - see the Herald and Vitesse section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 On the subject of preparation, I think one of ours is we may be buying an additional car.... I did see a really nice MkII 2500S today - engine sounded lovely.... I was then promptly dragged away by my ear and told "NO!!!" - which actually translated to, "Well not when I'm with you and when you do I won't speak to you for a week).... so it may have to be done....Anyone got a spare room in case I got the translation wrong ???Ellis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I have a spare room! Good idea the 2500S these are the cars for long distance,built like brick out houses,can run on 5 cylinders! and I have lots of bits for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Right the best prep for the RBR is to go and get a Triumph2000-if you can find one an Estate would be best..and I know where there is one going cheapish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
