Tim Bancroft Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Just feeling down about the poor England team. Then thought, ah yes 08 should be great, RBRR!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I too am thanking the lord...That we won't be plagued all next year by grossly over-paid prima-donnas failing to win Euro 2008, because they are so crap they have dipped out already.And my entry goes in the post tomorrow, 4 days after everyone else so here's hoping........ Might be lucky and get No. 100.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Wow, no England in Euro 2008 and the RBRR in the same year.You're right Tim, 2008 is looking to be a great year already. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Can't argue with you about the merits of Footie, especially using the England team as an example after we have seen the English rugby team do so well. But Football is such a great game when it is played well and I'd love England to do well again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sorbington Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The England game wasn't great, but entering the Brownmobile in the RBRR has cheered me up tonight! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 it was a given [ i think] that we were going to lose that game ...they could have put a good film on instead ...RBRR2008 seems so far but will be here so soon..if i start worrying about it now i'll not get any sleep at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanChatterton Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Excellent news! Glad to have you aboard!Only got 11 months to go, so you'd better get preppin'!(Marshall has started already, finally heaved the crappy old engine out and the car is currently in the paint shop!!,.............might be finished in time then!!)You have plenty of time to rip out the sludge box and convert it to manual o/d!!

Paul Lonsdale Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I missed the game cos I was stripping my Zetec engine and lifting it onto the engine stand having taken it out of the mondeo a couple of days ago. Hopefully want this engine in the Spit and on the road (having been off it for 20 years) ready for the Le Mans Classic in July - then if all that goes to plan - BRING ON RBRR 2008 !!!

Just been reading the bit in the owner's handbook about driving at more than 85mph for prolonged periods!! Basically, pump the tyres up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 85mph! as if you would be driving that fast on her majistys roads ;) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sorbington Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Bizarre, actually ended up at the Plough in Enfield today for a swift pint! Was visiting some mates down in that neck of the woods so thought it would be rude not to stop in for a look see.The journey home took just under 2 hours, about 160 miles.......

AlanChatterton Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Now trying doing that 160 miles again, after just doing 2000 in 48 hours. Longest 160 miles of your life, trust me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sorbington Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I can well imagine. Fortunately I've chosen a co-driver who lives 10 miles from the Plough. Not as daft as I look you know!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
