Caroline Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hmm. Luckily we have some spare Acclaims in case the estate isn't playing. Still no babysitters for the weekend. Tim - can Barry do the first leg with a co driver and me the second leg with the same codriver, swapping at Lancaster? Is that cheating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnerboy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Jase, don't be a frump! (is it really cheating? Seriously, under the rules of the event is it not allowed?) Two top people and massive contributors to CT who really, really want to do the run but are stymied by munchkin sitting problems should be able to split the effort surely? The car and the co-driver will be doing the whole event so is it really a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'm no expert on the rules but it's not really in the spirit of the event to change crews - that's a whole different event. Having said that it's not really in the spirit of the event to deny good people a run.I don't know the answer but it will get debated :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 It's only cheating if it's in the Rules! Have all drivers been registered? Do they all have to be in the car for the 48 hours? As long as the run is completed from start to finish! I am not sure ask an internal judicator! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I have sent Caroline a PM that explains the Club's viewpoint, I have been asked this question before this year. Strange as it has never been asked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Aargh! Joke! Stop flapping you lot before you take off. We'll stow the children in the boot if necessary. That's also a joke.On a more serious note, we do have issues. If someone wants to live in my house for a long weekend then I have a lovely holiday home on offer, centrally located near lots of amenities and just opposite a lovely golf course. My house comes with a fully stocked kitchen and a range of Triumphs (not for cooking on). Also comes with two small children. Many stairs to keep you fit and cars to keep you entertained. Courtesy of a kind contribution I have £5 to pay you as well :-) Can you hire nannies by the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Here's something to might find interesting, Tim. I'm still going through old Club Torques and this is from number 226 - November 2005. When I read it it reminded me of your comments on 2000's and lack of round-tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Blimey, dammed by my own words!!The use of the 2.5 for this RBRR is because my co-driver insisted, he did the 04 RBRR and did not enjoy it too much in the little car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Just use the GT6, Tim, and tell your co-driver the 2.5 has shrunk in the wash! ;D :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I have just checked the list ! It’s getting bigger! This years event is Going to be BIG!I was speaking to Tigger last night! Looks like we are going to have Live updates in the RBRR via You-Tube and my Blog!I am trying to sort the technical issues out and a few other minor points!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 The list is getting bigger as we have a few late entries. We're currently at entry number 146 with 34 non-runners (either withdrawn or decided not to take up reserve places) so that leaves us with currently 112 cars.This is going to reduce in the coming weeks, it always does but even if it follows the trends of previous years we'll still get over 100 cars and that's great. This is the biggest RBRR ever. Bring it on :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Had our meeting at the Plough today - it's going to be really tight getting all the cars in, signing on and then getting everyone away. Get there early and park tightly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 There will be marshalls sorting out parking (if anyone not doing the run wants to help out at the start, please get in touch with Tim) and we have a cunning plan but it will be tight.Those of you turning up late will be cursed - I speak from experience following my last RBRR crank snapping fiasco.As all the crew MUST sign on you cannot just turn up and start, you must park up, sign on and then you can go through the start.Advice for all entrants - turn up with time to spare please :-)Oh and to all the "veterans" out there - REMEMBER, this run we start 30 mins earlier! That's 18:30 hours aka 6:30 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave2000 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I think he means who is now entrant number / Team number 1I'd have thought it was still Tim Hunt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 It's still Tim Hunt, follow the link in my sig for the most up to date entry list. Once entry numbers are allocated they never change, we don't recycle - you were allocated No5 Jony therefore once you pulled out, No5 was lost and no one can run with that number this year.

Toledo Man Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Now that Tim & Jase have been informed and the entry list has been amended accordingly I can now announce that I've had to pull out due to lack of money and not having any of my cars fite for the run in time. The lack of money means that not only can't I afford the petrol but I can't afford to spend money on getting a car fit for the run.The Dolomite 1850 has a leaky auto box which has to come out for repair or replacement. That won't be cheap!The Acclaim CD needs an exhaust tailpipe. This car has the later type of exhaust and the Guru (Barry) only has the earlier ones and new ones are hard to come by.The Dolomite 1300 has some front end damage. Again this won't be cheap to rectify.The Acclaim HL needs quite a bit of work for the MoT and then I'll have to fork out for road tax.Basically I'm stuffed!
