GTRoger Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Wishing all 10CR crews good luck and a safe trip!! Think it will be another good one, the route looks interesting and fresh, visiting some new areas. I'll be at the start in Kerkrade to cheer you up and (if time allows) also at Rolduc on sunday. Looking forward seeing all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thx 😉, preparations could have been better as everything seems to be coming together in this week (see post in TR7 section)Hopefully the parts arrive tomorrow At least I was able to finalise the route this night and load it into the GPS ...

Radders Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 According to the message diary, Doug and Andy Thompson are out already with a blown diff. Can anyone verify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTRoger Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Nope, you've misread that. It's the Belgian 2000 ( Dirk?) that's out with a blown diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMPUS Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Quoted from GTRoger Nope, you've misread that. It's the Belgian 2000 ( Dirk?) that's out with a blown diff. Kris & Ben in the 2500s estate, are they not Belgian to ? I found there names in the message diary and had a look on FB..So could be that Dirk & Shaun are still rolling !

Radders Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Gutted for him. He's done a lot of prep work on that car in the past few months. And all because a pig ran out on front of him in Czech! 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Unfortunately we are not rolling at all! A great shame, but for various reasons (car, illness, accident) we could not make it, we are both gutted but we wish everyone an enjoyable trip (he says very jeleous) 😉If anyone does have the misfortune of breaking down and has to recover, send me a message and have your car recovered to my place, then repair or collect it at you leisure We are hoping to still come over to Rolduc (if dirk gets better, good luck matey)Have fun chaps and chapesses RegardsShaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest if my crew are not really spanner monkeys plus there's a lot of damage actually, much more than zI thought St midnight in the middle of nowhere. If we were say in Cortina I think we could have sorted it with some help from other experienced CT crews and a lump hammer for panel beating! Then got some kind of fix for the radiator and lashed it up but in the middle of nowhere, dog tired and teed off I went with the insurance option which looks like it will pay off.My commiserations to others suffering problems and congratulations to those enjoying the event still. This and the moral support from home is brilliant and why Club Triumph is so great.By the way, a very good friend was offering to organise a rescue operation for the car in case it was deemed nor worthy of being repatriated - cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
