sparky_spit Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Update....The code board M, that was put on the northern loop of the 12 green dots part of section 3, was indeed missing when I picked up the boards. As nobody got this it's safe to assume it must have been taken overnight.It makes no difference to the results as such and, on the positive side, you all got 1 less fail than you thought you had.Ill sort out the pictures and email them to you. Will be in separate emails due to file size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny-Jimbo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Did you break the gearknob Richard, or have you decided to convert your auto to a manual O/D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Quoted from Jonny-Jimbo Did you break the gearknob Richard, or have you decided to convert your auto to a manual O/D? Richard is converting to manual. I have a 'works rally type gearknob' with overdrive switch which I think he liked. (Although the one on Gertie is better quality I have to say) Thanks for the compliment Richard, yes, the Pi is quite a car. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yes, converting to manual od. It was having to put up with screaming revs on the 10CR that finally convinced me. Gearbox is in, overdrive can wait until the new gearknob comes as it's booked in for MOT on Saturday (pray) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky_spit Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Some pictures as promised. These are resized ones to suit the forum but I have full fat ones I can send if you want to create a mural on your lounge wall at home. I did try attaching some to emails, but I don't think I'm young enough to live that long for them all to upload to my mail service. There are some others too, but not of all crews I'm afraid. So, I'll burn them to disc and use low tech Royal Mail to post them to you. Apologies to those crews I did not manage to capture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
