Reg Barton Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Right, that's it definitely confirmed...... Entry #31 is using the back up car. :oThe list of worry items on the PI just kept growing, so in the end, we're taking the Honeysuckle 2000 TC instead. Got in it on Sunday having not looked at it for more than two months (other than to nick the better radio and speakers out of it) - and it started first time, and settled quickly to a nice, even, smooth tickover. Fluid levels all OK, cleaned and polished up and looking lovely - so we're back in business. All I've got to do now is move the bloody radio and speakers back into it, swap around the wheels/tyres, oh, and I guess I'd better go and tax it now too.....Now ....... where are those Alps??? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I guess I'll find out Wednesday night when I get the "It's still broken" phone call.:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hope not. If we do, it'll be an Alfa 159 or a Pug 307! (or one of Scrapman's spare, spare, spare cars) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJP Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Same here - my backup car (Spitfire) is currently out of MOT and needs a bit of welding - I blame the wet Cornish bit of the RBRR for that! so it would have to be the Eurobox, on the other hand 800 miles to the tankfull would be helpful! ;D ;D ;DI'm using the Stag this year which has a new engine thats been run in gently, 4 core radiator, new viscous coupling, new driveshafts, new rear hubs to mention a few of the items that have been changed in the last couple of years I'm not expecting anything serious, but then I didn't on my last two attempts!!! :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldhabitat Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Got the herald that has a couple of minor electric jobs to do, would do the run no problem, but wouldn't be happy after all the effort I've put into MOE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The back up GT6 is looking sad and forlorn in the garage.............. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The backup uses even more oil than than the primary - and hasn't been further than Enfield in at least 15 years.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
