James Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Now I'm not saying this to be unkind...But how many people does it require to diagnose a TR7 headlamp!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 See, the trouble with young 'uns- warped sense of humour!I would like to add that I was to busy installing the 'kennel' to take notice of something so trivial as Martin's dodgy electrics.Martin's car though was immense during the 10CR- its getting there!

Jason Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Amongst the comprehensive spares Carl packed was a spare headlight switch - seems these "modern" Triumphs have switch issues :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hey - if any of you thought my reply was a bit - err, can't think of the right word :-/Anyway, as usual it was tongue in cheek :PAgreed - any publicity is good publicity. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Well done - all publicity is good publicity.But, must try harder - see Motoring Telegraph, 29/10/05, p10."Classic car crews battled the elements" Yippee! Complete with pic of Vitesse!"on the London-Lisbon rally"Who? What?This was, apparently, one of the 'HERO' events. You might think, "Pro organisers, no doubt they know the right people to get their event in a national newspaper. Ho, hum." But this article is written by a competitor, one Malcolm Mckay, who did the run with his two sons (12 and 8!) in their Triumph. I think he is in the media business, but this was a personal account.Next time, if there is a next time, who in CT10CR can put a few words together? Anyone, it would seem from the message board! So write the copy, bang it in and see who bites. Motoring Telegraph is probably the best bet, the Section Ed is a GT6 owner and they have published pieces on two of my Triumph based projects, but the Sunday times has a motoring section too, nowadays.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I know Charles Sneddon sent the Motoring Telegraph a press release on the 10CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanne Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Malcolm McKay writes for Classic & Sportscar Mag. and in fact wrote an article on the TR7 in their Aug.2005 edition featuring a Club member's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 The Club's PRO Charles Colvin always sends articles out to the mags.The 2002 RBRR was announced within the Daily Telegraph Sat. motoring section.The 10CR also received some coverage within C&SC.Malcolm McKay is a freelance journo. who gets published within C&SC, Octane and Classic Cars.

JohnD Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Okay, so he's one of the 'in' crowd.But no! I wrote a piece about a Spitfire, the 'Last Spitfire' that I came across in France and the Tel accepted it. I even got paid! Mr.McKay's article was very personal - I think that's what they want, rather than "CT to hold 10CR." press releases. A fully written article is cheaper than sending a reporter to write one for you, and "It happened to me" is always better in the media than, "This happened to them". Bit too late now, unless anyone wants a go. Lots of drama and incident, just from trawling the MsB, but go for your own story. 800-1000 words?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Be really nice for a few 10CR particpants to write some articles for the Club's magazine, I know that Q is always very willing to recieve them.BTW the next edition will be due inthe middle of November.

James Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Warped sense of humour...Does nobody know the typical "how many xxxx does it take to change a light bulb?" joke????I thought it was well known along with "knock, knock" etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don cook1 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I've experienced your 'warped sense of humour' James. Picture the scene everyone: a bar in Belgium just after a tough rally, haven't got to drive anymore, really parched...Hhhmmmm...Belgium beer? No, "Gin and Tonic please".
