Raider Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I am sure people will get fed up of me on this forum soon - just tell me and I'll keep quiet! :'(Until then though, I have noticed one or two "heavy" discussions starting to take place so I thought I would try and introduce something a bit lighter.Any one thought about doing the run in fancy dress for example? I know a few years ago a crew did it in dinner suits which must have raised a smile. :)I have been discussing the wedgetastic seventieness of the TR7 - should I be getting some flares sorted, or maybe a John Travolta suit perhaps? ??) ??)

Jason Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Our neighbours hat a 70's party for New Year - my wife got some dye kits and we tie dyed some T shirts, put on our best flares and painted peace signs on our faces - it was like totally mellow man -oops, slipped back into character there. I could do the RBRR like that and at the end of two days I would smell like an authentic hippy too!The abortive maiden voyage of the Stretch had the crew in Blues Brothers costume don't forget - it didn't do them much good unfortunately 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 :)I would really like to do the RBRR in 60's clothes but Berkeley is not having any of it, but I can work on him ;D ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 A word of warning, one couple using a Herald went in 60' FD in 2000 and retired! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 LOL - imagine trying to flag down a passing motorist in Afro wig and loon pants! Reminds me of the tale of one of my mates - he and a bunch of engineering students were on their way to a fancy dress party dressed as the A team - complete with plastic Colt 45s, M16 guns and a drain pipe bazooka. It was late they were a bit lost so they stopped at a 24 hour petrol station and all climbed out of the car - the attendant thought it was a raid and pressed the panic button - Merseyside police were not in a joking mood and the A Team were detained for several hours. Unfortunately the authorities didn't see the funny side of it whilst the students did, right up until they were handcuffed! I think if that was to happen today they might have got shot!

Raider Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 I have now got everything in place for my costume - took a bit of doing but I have managed it.To be honest there is one part that wouldn't make sense driving in for 48 hours but apart from that I'm sorted.Any guesses what I am going as ??) ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 God knows, still you are Northern so it will be dodgy!Since when did the RBRR turn into a fancy dress parade?I've no doubt it will involve a 'tache, Rally jacket and dodgy flares.
