Dale Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ah, so that will be Katie turning up with the hangover and still ruddy well beating us both then will it Doug? :B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Would like to have done this one, especially if it stays a bit drier than last time so that the gravel does not resemble mushy peas. However, I'm certain Mrs Sparky_Spit has me booked on some Christmassy family thing on that Sunday. Bah humbug!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon kerr Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Anyone know the organiser's attitude to spectators/photographers? I'm not particularly interested in taking part but since it's not too far away thought I might come along and see what it actually involves and maybe take some pictures too if they allow that.

ferny Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 I somehow managed for forget the SLR I always use and the old digital I've removed the UV filter from. So I have 11 (not including the phone). Old cameras are like old cars in that their smell and feel can't be beaten. I'm tempted to take this one to a car show one day - it'll go nicely with the classics. I just need to buy some bulbs for the flash and maybe some more film. Bloody expensive. £25 for ten shots last time I bought some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky_spit Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I will be doing this event after all...... Christmas plans have changed so I'm free this Sunday now. I'll contact Colin at BCC and let him know tomorrow and sign-on on the day. Colin (thescrapman) is also doing it (sharing my car - poor fool) so hopefully all the more points for Essex!

Deleted User Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 so what were the results then ..i see the mad farmer was out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Doug - the results were:1st CT Mike Banks - 128.10s - 4th overall2nd CT Peter Fern - 136.37s - 10th overall3rd CT Michael Helm - 137.40s - 11th overall4th CT Colin Wake - 140.10s - 12th overallVery good day, not as cold as it could be (as the sun came out for a while), and the gravel was dry, which was nice. Best bit is that Michael, Colin and I got loads of points for Issix, and Peter's car didn't lose all it's water this time (probably 'cos Katie wasn't there to look and point at it).Full results at http://www.bedfordcarclub.org.uk/reports/reports.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll not complain - happy surprise.Quote:Peter's car didn't lose all it's water this time (probably 'cos Katie wasn't there to look and point at it) The oil made a good escape for freedom on the way to and from the event though!
