sparky_spit Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'm suffering 10CR withdrawal symptoms....My previously very interesting job seems very boring now.I went to bed last night at 11 O'clock and got up at 7.30 this morning - how ordinary?On Monday night I drove my wife's Peugeot 206 to the takeaway, and it felt like driving a huge people carrier - has my sense of space been compromised forever?I keep looking at the dirt, oil-mist and flies stuck to the Spitfire and don't want to clean it off.I keep thinking about all the mods I need to do before the 2011 event.Am I mad? Or did Ellis print the roadbook on heroin-soaked paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Still reckon you should attempt the RBRR, you'd love it-sod the sleep, you need to drive and drive and drive!Honestly, the RBRR is motoring Nirvana!Must say that I did not once give the saloon any grief on the 10CR, we just cruised.

Pete PiEst Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Could almost do with something every six months... just enough time to repair / improve then start again!... Just looking at the movie clips posted up brings a smile... sunny weather, great scenery cars people what more could you ask for... RBRR same thing, ok so the sun isn't quiet as hot!
