My Spitfire went into the garage right after the Border Raiders last August and hasn't been out since.

The roads round here have changed colour to orangey red after the amount of salt spread on them.

It's going to be -7°C round here tonight.

Spitfire driving is a bit way off yet, probably the end of April at this rate.

Jim.

I'll be wearing the kilt this year and will wear it as a true Scotsman.

By the way, it's the really, really short one that I know you like the best.😉

but the only job is to get the hardtop painted and fitted and she will be RBRR ready.

Bloody soft southerners!

Put on a big jumper!

Jim.

Never had you down as a biscuit man, Mike.

I quite like this one.

It has that je ne sais quoi, don't you think.

Jim.

Is he feeling the cold that badly?

Jim.

I added chrome to the grille already. 

Any more is just bling and tacky. 

Jim. 

LED headlights (can now see where I'm going on the RBRR night sections) and some modest stripes.

I'm with Alex on some racy stripe action.

Tim loves 'em.

Dolomite, Toledo, 1300, 1500FWD. 

Either that or scouring powder for those of a certain age.

Couldn't resist it.

In case you're wondering why this thread seems a little disjointed, it's because I have deleted some of my posts. 

Not because I don't stand by what I said but out of respect for the two Tim's (Please, no religious analogies to be taken by those who would understand that last bit). 

I don't want to draw anyone else into a bunfight of the vanities. 

We're here to support the RBRR and nothing else. 

'Nuff said. 

Jim.

Hi Rob. 

Bit of an insult calling me a Glaswegian. 

Never lived in the city but come from a village to the north. 

Glad you found a nice bit of Glasgow. 

Personally, I rarely go into the city, preferring the quiet countryside, where I live. 

Enjoy your time in Glasgow. 

Jim.

Hi Jim

Thanks, we are now booked in the Central. 

Cheerio

Bruce

Don't anyone tell him we're all booked in at the other one.  😜😜😜 

Bruce, we just don't like you! 

See you in October if not before.

Jim.

I'm sure I still owe you a few after the petrol you gave us at a closed petrol station outside Andover.

Jim.

PS  Are you going to using a camera this year?

'BLimey, there are some good cars for this year's RBRR. 

Like Richard's TR8, looks very purposeful.

So where's your "imaginary" TR6? 😜

Get your camera out!

Jim.

The art of stating the bleeding obvious is not dead. 

Thank you as a non member who has no intention of ever entering the RBRR for your input.

Hi Jim

Thanks, we are now booked in the Central.

We're going to party like it's 1999.

Or at least we were, back in 1984, when Prince sang it.

Jim.

Bruce,

The Premier Inn Stevenage Central at Six Hills Way.

Jim.

PS  Could you shorten your previous post.

About 100 lines of nothing makes you think the thread ends there when scrolling on a phone.

And for that I can only apologise. 

Jim.

I'll start it off with the Scotch Pie Hunters. 

I'm entered with my daughter, Katy. 

A trouble free run in 2021 after retiring at Stirling in 2018.

If only you were that popular! 😁

On my phone it was 18:59 when i did my init entry so I wasn't sure if I slipped into a crack. I went from Team 17 to 19 in this period. Just making you aware in case it becomes relevant in the future. 👍

We slipped from No. 19 to No. 21 but I've already noticed that there's two "Tracy Island" entries.

A wee bit of fettling will sort it all out.

Didn't get the "coveted" first place after the charity winning crews but since we've done it for the last 2 RBRR's, then time for someone else.

I mean, how many Christmas sausage roll No. 1 hits can you have?

Jim.

Go in and put yourself as the Main Entrant.

Fill in the rest of the form and go to Checkout.

That will secure your entry.

Then go back in to Manage Entry for your co-driver afterwards.
