patbarber Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I have had all the discussions with my wife and we have decided that we will back for another try in the 2006 RBRR. I have discussed this with my past co-driver Blake Discher and he has agreed to help out and has made his flight arrangements for the trip. So with that, we will be shipping the 68 GT6 back to Southampton in September for this great event. Our registration will be forthcoming. We will keep you posted on our progress. See you then.PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpith Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Wow, that's fantastic! Anyone else planning on bringing a car over to the UK for the event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Its hoped that Roger and Theo from Holland will be bringing Roger's mk3 GT6 over, GT6 drivers have obviously got taste and are prepared to travel!Andy Thompson is coming over from Perth to co-drive with Doug- more solid commitment from Andy for CT events!

Tim Bancroft Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Forgot McJim is coming down from Glasgow to do the RBRR with me- Scotland's a foreign place, so he will qualify as a far away entrant.Just got another entrant- that'll be the 24th then, amzing response so far. Looked through last times entrants, reckon a good fifty regulars yet to enter. All I can say is once Xmas is out of the way members who intend to enter had better not hang around!

tony Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 both my cars have passed their mot. so entry form on its way. entered dolly 1500 as i know it more than my sprint. but might swap to sprint if it proves itself to be as reliable as 1500 over next few months. getting sponsor. and evening paper is going to do editorial on the run and tell people where to send donations. is it best for donations to go directly to ct or to evening paper then send to ct all together.

Tim Bancroft Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Tony, It will be good to get your entry in.Please do not panic too much about bringing loads of spares, careful thought is needed, but its morelikely that a small part will fail. Good idea to liase with owners of similar cars if bringing bigger parts- no point for example every Dolly driver taking a water pump etc. Once entered contact me and I can give e-mail addesses of all similar car entrants to enable crews to mail and discuss.Current entry is as attached.

Tim Bancroft Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Reviewed the lists of previous entrants, reckon about 50 regular crews yet to enter the event, I think it will be busy come July/August. We will operate a reserve list- be interesting to see how the entries progress, at pres. the enties are coming in quicker than last time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be right?How kind of you to say so Malcolm.I am just a bit involved with the car itself for the moment and I would like to get it back painted, with a brake wobble issue resolved, roll cage fitted and the oil leak fixed. When all that's done the entry will go in (or before if it looks like I might miss out!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 A local Club member has dropped his RBRR entry around this evening- that'll be 34 then- and the car he intends to use- very famous- more details tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriumphMan Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Gosh, better get my skates on! We will be using my newly-restored Del Lines "Stag Saloon", Janey, for the 2006 event, I sincerely hope the engine's back in by then! I live near Reading, and have done 8 previous runs (84, 86, 88, 94, 96, 98, 02, 04). The other crew mwmbers are from Maidenhead (2 previous runs) and Edinburgh (3 previous runs). In the past the car of choice (i.e. the one with the most entries) has tended to be the big saloon, in all its variants; I wonder whether that will be the case for the 2006 event?
