Financial problems rather than car trouble - though I have those too as it hasn't moved in three months.

Now you have a point - that'll pay for half my petrol

I'm being a bit canny this year.

I have sold advertising space on the side of the car, in return for fuel money!

So far I have sold the front doors to Sam's hotel, the back doors to a well known Triumph 2000 Specialist, the bonnet to my mates Classic Restoration company and my local autofactors are having the rear wings.

Just got the front wings to go........... so far I think about 2/3's of my fuel bill is covered!!!

Now that's just genius!!!

Do they get to keep the panels afterwards?  

[AlanChatterton]

:P :P :P :P

[James]

Shouldn't that really be charity money?

Not that I have raised much yet...

[AlanChatterton]

I am raising money from individuals for the RNLI, but the corporate sponsorship is going on the fuel...................

(anyway, this is what they all agreed to...............!)

well he will ofcorse have to polish the panels afterwards!!! and porbably polish the stickers too! infact, was he the guy polishing and waxing people bald heads at staffs? they kept blindin me when i went outside!

btw can we have the organisers of the rbrr at least do it in a triumph unlike the 10CR (no you will never live it down ellis ;))  ;D

[Clive]

Is with Ford power OK? 90% triumph.
Which reminds me, really must do an oil change. Then its comfort stuff. And maybe get the 2 speed wipers working on 2 speeds.
Clive
BTW I have always understood the RBRR entry was self-financed, all money raised going to the charity? I will stop before I get carried away on this one :-/

[heraldmanblue]

[quote=jcarruthers]Shouldn't that really be charity money?

but surely if selling advertising space lets him take part, raising charity money otherways, and if he doesnt use the advertising money for petrol, means he has to pull out, then the charity looses out why the problem?????? or am i being daft?????????????

Ellis had to use the SAAB on the 10CR as he blew the diff up just before the Dartford river crossing on the M25 on the first leg. The guy had done so much work it would have been awful for him to not done the event.

3no. RBRR Organisers are doing the event, 2 are being sensible and 1 is being daft.
Jason: Atlas
James: 2000 mk1
Tim: 2.5Pi(SU)

OI - stop being a bully. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong in using a 2000!! :'(

[Nick Jones]

The Atlas on the other hand..... :-/  but then Dave is probably sticking a 2.5 in it  ;D

Nick

[Tim Bancroft]

No, sticking with the 948cc 4 pot.

Shocked, yep I am!

[Slimboyfat]

And where would the fun/challenge be in that (2.5 engine)? Having done my fair share of RBRR's in larger engine cars I am finding them less of a challenge as each year gos by and the roads get better (more dual carriageways/bypasses). The RBRR was supposed to have been designed so that a 948 Herald could easily participate. Going back 40 years before dual carriageways, bypasses, and a fraction of the motorway network that must have been pretty hardcore. At least this was my thinking as we breezed around in the Stag last time, the V8 saloon before that, the TR5, blah, blah, Ask me if my opinion has changed after (if?) we have completed this one............

[Nick Jones]

I commend your bravery!  Spirit of the event and all that  :). At least it's more spacious than a Vitesse convertible with hardtop on..... which is a good thing 'cause you'll be in it a while  :P

It's especially a good thing that there is more air space in the atlas, that will be a godsend after the scotch pies at Stirling especially with Jason on board  ;D Hope there is also plenty of ventilation!
