Raider Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 :B err, no.I have taken mine off the road for the winter (cringe, cringe, ducking to avoid the brickbats).::)Have you thought about me welding on a new roof panel on to my 7, you donating your sprint engine into it and us getting Andy to drive it on this new RAC event as a Club Triumph entry?No, neither have I! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 MartinThe AA route finder reckons on 2.5 hours from our place to the pub, presumably at 60mph. Assuming we actually travel a bit slower, would you like to go in convoy, meeting somewhere logical? Our route is A650 out of Bfd, M62, A1, B668, A606, A6003, B664.Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Poor show Mr Raider..... I think we may have to de-face your Audi with Triumph stickers tomorrow !!! I thought you were waiting until the end of the month to take it off the road. You still have a few days !!!Keith... We're leaving Potters Bar around 10am and using the A1. As I think we'll be the only two cars travelling up at this time / route, do you want to try and meet up ??? Drop me an e-mail if so..... ellis@triumphtr7.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 I know, I know - I hang ny head in shame :BThe thing is though, at the time I wasn't being very succesful in getting the damn thing to run so I thought I would reclaim the tax - at least I got £27.50 back :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just realised that 12 of those cars are still owned by their drivers!!!I understand that someone is buying back one of the cars?Gawd, does this mean that Mr Pearson will bring the 'Stretch' out of retirement???

thescrapman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The stretch is long gone I suspect, It was bought to take the plate off it, the new owner probably had no interest in the car itself.Whether he ever got the plate off is another matter as the car needed work for an MOT, and there isn't exactly a lot of stretched Heralds about to do a swift swapperoonie of chassis plates with as is usual for plate dealers.:-(Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as I am not responsible for the route I can't say but the whole event for me with anywhere relevant to 2003 if possible.Starting with the ferry?

Tim Bancroft Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Stretch does exist, I have seen the thing!I just hope Dave ain't reading this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I had at one time wanted to buy the "Stretch" worked out a price and then went to look at it. Down side was that my wife was with me and after one look she said "NO". I know the car sold but I understand it was returned and Dave wanted no more mention of it. No sure if it's still around or what the final outcome was. It would be nice to see it on the road again. Maybe this time someone will not, run it into a field or try to remove a entire gas pump island! Yes Jason you know who you are. Going back in time I wish I had the space to keep it and the time and money to finish it. I would have liked someone or even the TSSC take it and display it. Shame their was no interest.
