Jason Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Ahh the memories come flooding back. Yes it was me (again) Greeks - the facilities in the cafe were of the squat and drop type. The story involves me as a child (no more than 6 or 7), a French holiday and my first solo encounter with said toilet facilities.Coffee was indeed served in any receptical to hand, none of which actually had handles - I maintain it was a soup bowl, the dog's bowl and an ashtray. I'd have drunk coffee out of anything at that point.As for the Stretch - you can't help but love a car in which you can lie down straight and sleep. It's a truly memorable monster - fit the spring Dave, I'll bring my party hammer and sort the sill. Maybe a second fuel tank (remember those Evian bottles of petrol!?) and some engine fettling and she's good to go. I can see the headlines now "Stretch Round the Ring" ooo err! I'm in, if you're daft enough to do it, I'm daft enough to come along:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpith Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 If the rush for entries is as mad as it was for the RBRR, I'm getting mine in quick! Mrs Rumpith has even agreed to be co-driver for the 10CR... not sure if that's a good thing... might need a divorce lawyer by the time we get home!

Ellis Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Blimey, shows I've not been paying attention on the forum lately - only just noticed this...As Tim has already said, some "teaser" details will be in the RBRR road book, with the full details being published in November's Club Torque. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say we're building on Martin's excellent work of the last two events. The big advantage I have is a dedicated team helping me... so if anything goes wrong, it's their fault not mine !!! Only joking guys ;)Yes entry will be limited, purely because of potential restrictions at the stops (much the same as with the RBRR), but hopefully we won't have people disappointed.Patience fellow 10CR lovers, patience...

Ellis Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Errrr no better as I've been dedicating time to the Bus and then did my back in last week so I can't even finish that - hence a trip to Moordales is planned next week.To be fair, I doubt I'll be using it a lot more this year, so I may do the same as Raider and drop in the 16v unit, uprated suspension etc. and go from there - at least any money spent will be thinking of the future...Might need some help with suspension braces etc. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 You know where to find me ...I am pondering on some further suspension updates at the moment :X 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
