sexysi Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just a thought, it hasn't happened yet!But say your in a 2 seater Triumph and your co-driver drops out at the last minute, can one do the RBRR by ones self!!!!!sexysi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 You'd be mad to do it, or mad afterwards, si.In fact I'd say it shouldn't be allowed, just from the H&S point of view of the rest of us.Surely you've got other mates, or make a new one. Offer the seat for sale, here or on eBay, proceeds to the Lifeboats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexysi Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 No i've got one, just a general question, to see if it ever has happened and if it is in the rules. I'm not that mad.........................................or am I........ ;)sexysi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It would be a no go I'm afraid.We could not let someone attempt to do this. The rules and regs for the event state that it is not permissable.It will not happen though will it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexysi Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 No it won't, i have a blow up doll called Mandy that fits nicely into the other seat, for some reason though she catches a lot of flies in her mouth. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :osexysi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Tell you what, try the 2008 RBRR with a human co driver who has a driving licence and is insured. There will be plenty wanting to help you out. Then afterwards ask yourself if it's possible. Then ask yourself if perhaps you need a saloon for the 2010 run to fit a second co driver in.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auto Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Take a co driver si! I have done alot of long distance runs, and you will put yourselves and inadvertantly others in danger. Its suprising how tiring it can be, especially in older cars that need to be driven! I should imagine there will be plenty of takers! Try here or classic websites like this. Loads will be up for a roadtrip, or as said before, auction it off, even through local media and get some extra sponsorship! Make it a mission, see if you can get thehighest sponsorship in the run!

Howard Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I drive a TR7 and and can definitely declare with 100% certainty that I am not even a little bit mad! Just had a great blast up the A11 from Cambridge to Norwich, hood down and enjoying the lack of traffic at 6am. It's days like today that make having a classic really enjoyable - engine running sweetly, bright sunlight with the classic le mans to look forward to.

Jason Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'd encourage anyone who "loses" a co-driver or indeed a driver to get on the Forum earlier and see if they can find a partner. With so many entrants statistically we're more likely to see cancelled entries, in fact I have a couple to process today. We always expected crew consolidation, we've already seen a little and expect to see more. There's no shame in it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heraldhabitat Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 If anybody needs a co driver, I have a friend who is anxious to do the run, has lots of triumph experience, no issues finding fuel money and good fun, something you need on the RBRR, unfortunately no room in my particular inn.
