GreenV8Machine Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Anybody got any funny or interesting stories to share from this years event?I heard a few things including someone hitting a deer that exploded poo all over the car! ??)Anything else we should know about? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Tristan and I spent some time touring Grenoble's red light district - does that count?We totally misunderstood Ellis at the briefing and thought the new overnight halt was "just down the road" from the original one, still on the D512. Needless to say we couldn't find it. Tristan had the idea of using the satnav to direct us up and down the road until we found it. We went up and down it 3 times at slow speed, stopping every now and again to check side roads. There was somebody behind us in a car and they seemed very impatient, and he eventually passed us.I commented that there seemed to quite a few young ladies around and they must be very cold, walking home from the clubs at 02:30 in such skimpy dresses; and why were they hanging around and not getting home more quickly? Then we saw Mr Impatient parked up talking with one of the "ladies" and the penny dropped!Having kerb-crawled that road 3 times, stopping every now and again, it's a wonder that we didn't get arrested. My only defence is that I'm a simple country boy and only rarely venture into the big cities.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenV8Machine Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 On the way down to Singen we encountered on the Saturday morning a convoy of classic sports cars, all with French/Belgian tags, rally plated up heading down the E25 motorway. Healeys, Porsches, Ferrari, one of which was a D-type Jag which was pulling like a train as we accelerated through 5th in our WRX STi. Amazing sound and great racing paint job on it. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm...so I'm told. :-/I'm surprised at you kerb crawling with Tristan with you though. Weren't you worried he might have told Janice? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It was Janice that told Mike where the local dogging layby was.. :-)And then he "found" the one down near Chelmsford when he was doing that 12-car with Mark.Broke down right next to it, would you beleive that eh??? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 And it wasn't the usual male/female dogging either! There was not a single woman in sight, they were all men.Mind you, after Mark and I finished pushing the Spitfire out of the flooded ford, there were not too many still around.

Deleted User Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 We were driving to Dijon when we took a wrong turn and someone turned the car around to catch the exhaust on a raised curb. Well some 15 mins later traveling down a very bumpy road the exhaust came loose and began scraping on the floor.We pulled up and lucky for us Howard was behind us, I jacked the car up to fix the broken exhaust bracket, Howard positioned his car behind ours turned his engine off and left his LED lights on for me to work with. After I finished the bracket I was flummoxed with a sound of buzzing coming from the boot, so the boot was emptied out looking for the offending item.The fuel pumps were disconnected and still the buzzing continued, I was baffled, well after nearly emptying out the whole car I found the offending item.Si had an electric razor in his weekend bag at the rear of the passenger seat, this was on and buzzing away. Problem sorted we continued on to Dijon racetrack. Fab night.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
