Two Mk1 GT6s in their spiritual home in the regular pose of 'blimey it's hot in there, everything open trying to cool down'. ;DAlthough I wish Roy hadn't taken the 'everything open' quite so literally... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Hutchings Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Excellent, love the fuel stop one and the 3am one...That was an odd 3am stop, we had just edged through some very thick fog on our own tomtom guided route, seen a wild boar (huge!), a Hare (large) and a Deer (quite small), then stopped in this 'ghost town' for a hot coffee from the flask. 10 minutes later 5 Heralds passed us, and the mad hatter guys beeped us (much loved by the locals I bet).

Rumpith Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 How did you get the shot of the saloon following and the rear wheel? Did you have to open the door and lean out? Cracking shot. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The Carruthers Technique - as honed on the RBRR06 :)Just shove your arm out the window and hope the driver doesn't get too close to anything by the side of the road :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that stage I realised that Triumphs had taken over France...It was getting very foggy, some places were fine and then next dip was covered in thick fog/mist.Mike & Libby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james9146 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yep the 'Curuthers' method works well -That must've been the only time he was lagging -That car can move especially well in the twisties.The thick fog was a bit worrying -I think i was looking more at the tomtom for the direction of the next 50 feet of road than out of the windscreen. Perhaps Ben, you could rig up some kind of infared-heads-up display Mercedes Benz style for next time.I'm sure the locals were fine with the beeping -after all about 10 Juggernaut's thundered by during our coffee break and then there was the cacophony of Ben's six starting up...

Deleted User Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Those of us with Satnav ignored the fog and used the display on the satnav as a HUD to keep on driving - who needs NVGs, if we'd had them we might have been frightened by what we saw - and boy did we see some big stuff run across the road in front of us, and even bigger stuff grazing at the roadside.
