A shame you couldn't sit down in the GT6 for over a month but that part of your anatomy looked too tempting to a hungry Scotsman, who's vision was blurred through drink!It's a good job that I sobered up enough to warn you about the prevalence of rabies in Scotland.And that's something to consider when you get out for a road-side pee in Scotland.One midge bite and you'll be suffering from the effects of hydrophobia by the time you reach Land's End. ;)And another thing, we've just had someone croak from anthrax up here - no kiddin' - no really - no kiddin'!So leave the sheep alone please. The may look cute to your sleep-deprived eyes, but trust me, Dolly the sheep was an experiment too far!And another thing, we Scots are noted for our hospitality to peoples from all nations - except England! :PIf you want an example, try stealing a chip from a Scotsman's fish supper on the Saturday night.You will, no doubt, be introduced to that quaint old Scottish custom, the Glasgow Kiss! :oSo, a bit of advice, stay away from the locals and the rest of the wildlife up here too.Right, I've just about finished but I look forward to seeing you all at the Conon Bridge control on the RBRR, so named because Conan the Barbarian built the bridge on his way back to the Steppes of Asia.Honestly, half the lies I tell aren't true. ;)McJim.

Tim Bancroft Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Right back to a serious couple of points:Remember Entrants, that the Club offers a full refund to any crew that withdraws between the 31st on this month. A week on Thursday.Can I again ask for any entrant revision details when they happen- on the day of the Drivers Meeting or even worst on the start day will be a major pain.When signing in at the start please note that we will need signatures for all the crew- no skulking around in the car park then.....

Goody Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Well since the Run will be my first trip to Scotland it's nice to see not being Englisn I will be welcome. Tried Porridge for the first time in Ireland last year. Overhere well call it Oatmeal! I assume though you don't have the Quaker Brand. Let's see: Oatmeal and Beer!

Tim Bancroft Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Current entry is at 104- still expecting some withdrawals.Car types as follows:2000 range:30 (13 of these are Pi cars)Spitfire range: 18 (10 are 1500)Dolomite range:11 (5 Sprints)GT6 range: 10 (4 Mk1s- !!)TR7 range: 7 (2 V8s- one with a 4.0L TVR engine- fastest car?)Herald range:7 ( 2 13/60 estates- no Coupes!)TR chassis range: 6 ( Why not more?)Stag range:5 (Andy Roberts Del Lines Stag has been withdrawn)Vitesse range:5 ( 1 Ex-works Rally car)Acclaim range: 3 (Will Ashley use some oil?)Toledo range: 2 (Blimey, Dave Kent's ex Toledo is entered!)Looking at these, most of the above stats are similar to previous years, the only changes being the increase of Spitfires and GT6 cars being used. Dolomite cars are usually 20% of the entry- now at 12.5% Big saloons are more or less 30%- this is always the case.5 estate cars, 1 car without any weather protection, most popular colour- either red or blue (21 each).Of the 104, some 18no. are having major works done to them- at least 6 are having full re-builds completed. The others range from suspension re-builds to having major engine work done- its frightening stuff eh!The oldest car is either Robin Upton's Herald or Mike Sloan's TR4 -1961The newest car is Kevin Rochefort's Acclaim- 1984Most powerful- Stephen Lawes TR7 V8- all 4000cc. Possibly the fastest being Chris Gray's Spitfire with a Rover V8- let's hope the car makes the start after the Metro hit it.All entrants will get the chance to vote for their car of the event- its gonna be difficult.

Richard B Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Tim, thats Jessica Brake's Herald (Robin is the co-driver). Ps she got the engine running last night, after a quickie tear-down and re-build. Now for the MOT. The engine was sitting on our kitchen table for three weeks (good job her mother was understanding).
