don cook1 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I prefer the Rodin Italy, alongside Lake Magiori...remember, with the fireworks going off over the Lake - on my own again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Actually, just I drifted off to sleep I remember Ian Dury's "Sex and drugs and rock and roll" on an italian radio station.A bit surreal but I like it, like it, yes Ido (sorry slipped into a lyric from an entirely different song) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GigGleR Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Of course! you've gotta have some Motorhead now and again! Lemmy is one of my heros. I love the idea of when the doctors told him that if he kept drinking Jack Daniels at the rate he was he would be dead inside a couple of years his response was 'Okay, I'll just have to switch to beer instead'! :DI just thought the idea of 'Born To Raise Hell' fitted with the idea of the 10 cr very well :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Oh, dear, I think you've got it all wrong. The intention surely is just for everyone to have a relaxing, allbeit extended, sensible drive, taking in some fascinating sights and with occasional stops to listen to Mr Randle's incredibly colourful and well-researched local history lectures. How he knows so much about the Savoie is a mystery to me! Don't forget your picnic basket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 well, actually it will be safest if we have a chap on each sharp corner to wave us through ... make sure there isn't another fellow coming the other way.Actually CBs would be useful for that!

Deleted User Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Watch if you plan to take CB radios into Europe.They may be confiscated at Customs as the wavelength they use may interfere with other radio users using their assigned wavelength in their own country.The frequencies allocated by the Government in this country for short range radio transeivers such as CB will probably be totally different in other European countries.Either ask the Home Office and wait forever or speak to long haul truckers who are in and out of Europe all the time.

James Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Mr McG... are you coming on the 10CR? I sure do hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don cook1 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Steve and I had CB radios that we shared with other drivers. Useless! I think ours had a 3 mile range but you keep picking up one half of other peoples conversations. Funny for the first 2 mins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 128 messages and no Triumph ... does that make Mogwai very sad or just the sort of man we want to join our club ... hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Mogwai is expressing good taste as he talking of getting a GT6. Great way of initiating the car into Triumph ways by doing the 10CR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Definitely want a GT6.Restrained, lithe and fast - just like me - 25 years ago!I was showing a mate of mine, who I was persuading to be my co-driver, the RBRR stuff and he was very interested.Then I showed him the 10CR. It was like light the blue touchpaper and retire. He was planning the trip in his head before we got back to organising this week's Angus Classic Rally for which I have the honour of being Clerk of the Course.He's just back from Monte Carlo after a trip down through France in a Mini with a bunch of like-minded masochists to celebrate Paddy Hopkirk's Monte Carlo Rally win 40 years ago, so, he's mad keen. He'd fit in well with a Club Triumph crowd. He bought the Mini for £200, spent less than £1,000 preparing it and apart from a replacement engine stabiliser bar, the car ran like clockwork all week.So apart from not having a Triumph to do the 10CR, anyone think of a reason why I shouldn't be doing it.

Raider Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Let's see MGw - you like triumphs, (weven if it's a GT6 :P), you know about driving on proper events and you have a mad keen co-driver.Even if you can't get a GT6 surely you can do the 10CR if you are "totally equipped to Triumph" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 No he didn't.Just the usual reason, the car looked good till he got it home and discovered .........Minis can be a bit of a pig to fix if they're gone in certain places.Then it needed a respray in red with a black roof to look the part.But just what does Quote:"totally equipped to Triumph" mean?You,ve lost me there and I'm a navigator.Is this a reference to being "well hung" or something?
