AlanChatterton Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Not so worried about the shoes, more worried about the fact that she thinks we are doing it in the comfy 2500 S Estate, power steering, luxy seats, quiet engine etc. In reality we are using the new PI I am throwing together with Recarros, Manual steering, 205/15 tyres, full sport exhuast, no stereo and low/stiff suspension...................When do you think I should tell her?????

GT6 John Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 You could always bamboozle her with complements. ;DComing from a bloke she'll be so suprised and happy that she'll be open to even the craziest notion!! :oFor example, suggest the new PI sets her eyes off beautifully and that it matches her hair, and would be much more suited her vibrant and exciting personality. ;) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 That'll never work!When she starts to complain, tell her, "But I thought you wanted us to spend more time together!"Can't lose with that one.You're the one making all the effort, after all.Just like the time you bought her a new socket set for her birthday.But did she want that! No! Threw it back in your face, I bet.Good job you found a good use for it. ;)McJim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanChatterton Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Okay, I get the idea but not sure I'm brave enough to try any of the above.Eg, The car sets off the colour of your eyes..................response likely, do my eyes look white and rusty then???It matches your hair, hmmmmmm, have you EVER tried talking to a red-head about hair colour, here's a hint, don't bother!!Anyway, in the good books at the moment, not sure why just am, I'll ride the wave and wait for the storm that is due anytime about nowish!! My V12 Daimler is up for sale and when that has gone it will be impossible to hide the PI anymore (Daimler is big and you CAN hide a PI behind it!!)So......................

Dave2000 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I know it's possibly a bit late to resurrect this thread but needs must and all that.......I've had a semi last-minute change of co-driver seeing as Susi, my original partner in crime, now can't make it seeing as she got the weekend wrong and booked herself to do the flowers for a wedding, at a cost to the bride of about 1200 quid....This is what happens when you don't manage to speak to yoiur co-driver for several months - be warned! ;)So enter stage left my new partner in crime (waits for drum-roll and fanfare) Jim Clarke!!Unfortunately, not THE Jim Clarke, merely A Jim Clarke. A comedy Scotsman by birth he's lived in the Midlands for almost 25 years and has apparently never been further north than Aviemore :o But still, he's always said the RBRR sounds like a laugh and so he's in. Although I did have cause for slight panic when he asked whether we could take his Toledo and simply cross-out the word SEAT and write TRIUMPH over the top and hope no-one notices....And what's going to happen when he meets up with McJim is anybody's guess!! ;D ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I have your shiney Spark plug in the glove box of the Mondeo at pres. Weirdly the theives who broke into her the other day - did not steal the thing!My original co-driver McJim had to back out, so I have press-ganged my sister Judith to co-driver. The weird thing is that we have never argued! Reckon the RBRR will sort that out! I am concerned that she will have to meet you lot, however I have warned her about certain characters!

Tim Bancroft Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 TARJ is lower than a GT40 so yes, they will look over her! (This is a lie- she's 45 inches high). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Since this thread's been brought back...My co-driver, Scott, is now a fully qualified first aider. So any bruised fingers etc. from 'fixing' your car with the biggest hammer you can lay your hands on, he can be there to offer assistance. ;DMy suggestion of a nurses uniform to make him look 'official' didn't go down well......apparently he doesn't have the hips to carry it off! :P ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much the drive, cocktail sticks for keeping the eyes open should be effective enough (so much better than matchsticks) :o , but I guess the thought of sharing 172,800 seconds and just over 2,000 miles in close proximity to Dave2000. Not the most favourable prospect at 4 o'clock in the morning, or 4 o'clock in the afternoon ;D . Anyway, looking forward to meeting you all and good luck to all for the drive.
