Tim Bancroft Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Right back on thread.James C is doing marvels with the sponsor forms- really good design. The route is under some serious discussion at pres. We do hope to be able to increase the mileage, however as Nigel and Derek had designed the route so well it is proving to be a difficult to add some on.Once the entry opens and the new RBRR website opens, I have to start approaching all the establishments we visit- mega job! The new website will have regular news updates, however one thing I would like is for all crews to send a good representative pic. of their car and a good write up on the vehicle.

Rumpith Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Sorry to go off-thread again for a moment, but when I go to the TomTom website the only celebrity voice I can see is John Cleese - am I missing something?I've downloaded the John Cleese zip file, but do I add it to my TomTom???

wolf Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Since this may be my first RBRR, how soon do you get the route, as I would be happier finding out where the police fund collection units are so that I don't contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 You get the route a couple weeks beforehand at the drivers meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpith Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Looks like there'll be TWO red Mk 3's lining up for the start, James. After much soul-searching I've decided that the respray will NOT be in the original Saffron, but in Signal Red... I was inspired in part by the pic on your sig, so blame yourself!

James Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Jon - nice choice - there are far too many red Mk3s - but I think it's the best colour! Either that or white...Have you made sure you like signal? It's a bit orange for me - which is why I decided on the Italian red. Looks a bit darker in our British winters - but in the summer it's really nice and vivid red (not too bright though!) - where as the signal ends up looking orange in the summer but reasonably bright in the winter.

Rumpith Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Arghhhh!! now you've got me thinking... nope, I want a proper Triumph colour (I think...) The one in your sig IS Signal Red, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 It is - I guess - but the one in the sig is darker than what it looks like on the car. The photo has been manipulated (as it was on the brochure I scanned it off)Some pics of my car in signal:And here just the rear end in Rosso: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpith Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I see you've gone for the de-badged look on the front and T R I U M P H on the bootlid - almost the reverse of what I'm doing (T R I U M P H on bonnet, and "Spitfire Mk 3" (script style) on the boot...

James Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Not intentional - I intend to put the TRIUMPH back on the front when I paint it all (if I have the guts) - and the rear is only missing because I still needed to polish the bootlid before putting the badges on!The whole car is being painted again anyway...

James Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It's next year in October.Entry forms are in the club magazine - should be coming through members letter boxes any time soon!There are plenty of entrants who come a long way to the start - so you wouldn't be alone. Adds a couple of nights to the adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It will be the first week end in October Entry forms will be in the next issue of the Club's magazine, Club Torque due out anytime now.One of the crew will have to be a member of Club Triumph which is how you get the magazine and entry form! You can join on line.I know what you mean about driving to London before starting back north again - at least I am "only" in northern England.Having said that, I wouldn't have it any other way because tradition is important to me anywayt, the RBRR start has always been north London and so it should stay that way.

Ellis Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 November mag's arrived... let the entries commence.Come on everyone, let's see some really early commitment to support the event and the Bliss charity... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 I have just rang Staines sorting office to warn them!Who will be entry number one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinU Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I doubt i'll get number 1 as i'm not at home to get the magazine but i'll be as high up the list as possible, especially having had to miss out on 10CR so close to the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Man Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Finding a co-driver won't be a problem for me if I enter. Brian seems up for it. Come October the only real problem will be which car to use! Choice between Becky and Brian's Herald 13/60 covertible. I might even have the Toledo or Baby Blue road legal!Decisions, decisions...
