michael Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Quoted from McJim Too- The only reason Michael likes the Forum is that it is slow enough for him to post his replies using the Royal Mail.😏 I don't think that in 2019 it is too much to ask to be able to click on a new page on a website and for that page to appear within a second or so. Anyhow, even if someone had a spare engine, by the time it got up here, the garage would be closing for the holidays. Thanks for the offer anyway. The Spitfire has a good engine full of new parts, pity about the bottom end. I will really miss being on the Border Raiders and have been looking forward to it for months, as has Katy. It would have been great to meet up with you lot again and share a pint or two. There's no better crew that you Pendle and Pennine reprobates. I'll be thinking of you all while the Border Raiders is on and remembering our good friend Martin who we all miss. Rest assured, I'll have my entry in for the 2020 Border Raiders. This was to be my big outing in the Spitfire this year but now I'll have to wait till La Carrera Caledonian when Katy and I go up against the Caledonian Sleeper from Euston to Edinburgh next June. Jim. When are we golng to have a MC Jim Scottish raid from them down south,or what ever you. Call us,regards Michael.PS have been our the channel to fit tr3 engine,could travel over the border to fit spitfire engine, if you lift the ban you gave me?

McJim Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Michael, You could try La Carrera Caledonian next year - not far to the start from your house. However, smuggling Lambrini over the border and caught wearing a "See You Jimmy" hat and ginger wig along with tartan trousers counts for a lifetime ban. Once we get independence and can close the border, I can sleep easy at night! Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Your problem Jim is that you only have 1 Triumph, that always leads to disappointment when it breaks and you can't just get another one out. 1 is NEVER enough when it comes to Triumphs. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Hutchings Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Evening all, If you're planning on taking pics this weekend, and sharing them on Twitter or Instagram, please tag them with #BorderRaiders2019 and #CTBorderRaiders. That way we can build up a nice little collection. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hunt Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 One Triumph is quite sufficient Colin, provided it's the right one! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 We have to cancel our participation due to illness. Very sorry for this as I have enjoyed last years Border Raiders a lot and was looking forward to this one. Packed the TR4 full with spares and tools (remembering our mishap with a faulty rotor arm last year) so was all ready to go. Maybe next time, wishing you all a very good weekend.

Greta Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks to Chris, Mick & Mike and all teams for another great tour.

I can't remember who offered me a spare diff but please if you read this - get in touch. see you all next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Another fantastic Raider event, with the route just a good as ever thanks to Mik. The weather held out with only a shower for the last half hour on each day.One of the best social occasions ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Arnold Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 May I please echo Nuala's and Mikes's comments . . . . This weekend's Border Raiders was the third one in which Mary & I have entered, and each one has been better than the previous one. We really enjoyed traversing several "drivers" roads over some remote areas - fantastic!! Very many thanks to the organising team of (in no particular order) Mik, Mike & Chris. We really enjoyed the weekend in the company of so many like minded crews. Now home safe & sound (not on the back of a lorry this year!) 758 miles after leaving home on Friday.

Pete Arnold Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I didn't record anything in the way of action but, for anyone interested, my Border Raiders photos can now be viewed on my Flickr page by clicking on this link: https://www.flickr.com/gp/petearnold1/24967H I'm afraid I do associate with Facebook so this is the only way I can share them with you!

reychris Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Many thanks to all the crews who made this year's raid another success. Another great route from the routemeister Mik Davies, particularly loved the second days blast over the moors. If anyone wants a 2019 Raiders polo shirt please let me know. We also have a few extra routebooks and fridge magnets for anyone who wants one. A short breather for the organising team and then on to 2020!

richard w Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks Chris, another brilliant event organised by you, Mike and Mik. The route was superb, both days had excellent driving roads - you even arranged a safety car to stop us getting too enthusiastic on Saturday afternoon! As an aside I've started toolbox preparations for the 10CR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete jackson Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 This is our third Border Raiders, so decided to use the Estate for this one and give the 2dr a well earned rest after her 4280ks run to France in June.
