RobPearce Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 "Throttle cable snaps approaching Corbridge. Miss a turn while you lash something up, then another when you get to a dealer."When this happened, to a fellow TR7 Sprint owner in 1996, the second control was still at a Rover dealer in Corbridge and he was able to buy a throttle cable of sorts to do a better fix. Meanwhile, I succumbed to..."You decide to check the alternator bolts and manage to snap off the rear lug. Subtract one from your next two dice rolls."

TedTaylor Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Quoted from thescrapman Owner of the car is fast asleep on the back seat, move twice the normal number of squares until he wakes up. Reminds me of my silly and I forgot when doing our first list of incidents for the 'game' 'Co-driver catching up on sleep as approaching control and woke him late to look out for it. Overshot and have to go to end of very long dual carraigeway to get back to it.'Keep 'em, coming! 🙂MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overshot and have to go to end of very long dual carraigeway to get back to it.' Co-driver stops because he's too tired, wakes you up, but doesn't inform you that there's a control approaching. SatNav doesn't either, and co-driver is fast asleep as you drive straight past and most of the way to the next one. No, we didn't turn round, we just explained to the marshals at Land's End that we were still in the run, we'd just had a communication problem about the extra stop that wasn't there the previous time I'd done the run.

That gives me an idea for a penalty - return to the previous control because you did not sign in .......... ouch!Must think of some nice ones!MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Quoted from Jonny-Jimbo Although, that was in the early 90's when I was about 6 or 7.... I feel old now you young man! 😀I like the idea of photos, another thought, if you approach photographic schools. The students are more than willing to help, it's good for their portfolio especially as it's for charity, and they do a great job, and probably would only ask for food and drinks to keep them going.Perhaps it may mean that they would need ferrying to certain points.

Jonny-Jimbo Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Without knowing the route yet they could just go to the Start at the Plough, then one of the Stops in Oxfordshire and then at the Finish too, where they could sell the photos?

Dannyb Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm can't see why action shots on some of the B roads can't be put on a website as a specimen then we can order the high resolution download. Could make a few bob for both photographer and club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I was just thinking that getting a photographer out into the sticks could be difficult, and getting all the cars as they come through, plus teams would then have to pay for postage on them - not a deal breaker, but I guess some people may think twice about it in that scenario.It'd be good to have photos as people go through the B-Roads though.

Jonny-Jimbo Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yeah, but then you wouldn't have it nicely printed in an embossed frame etc, which was part of the original idea... I don't really want to pay for a download... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
