Radders

While the RBRR fever is among us I thought I'd start the usual thread.

So come on, who's got what to do?????  :)

I'll start it off.

First choice car (yellow Peril)

Cure the vibration on the nearside front that comes in at 30-40mph while accelerating and decelerating
Cure the vibration that occurs everywhere at 70mph
fit new tyres all round after knackering them on the autosolo.
fit a CD player
Replace shock absorbers (and maybe springs too?)
fix power steering leak
finish eradicating the rust (the bits you can see anyway  ;))
finish body work and respray.

I'm sure there will be other bits that will break or fall off in between now and next October so I'll just add them to the list as I go along.  ;D

My list will be the same as this year minus the front wheel bearings (I've used them!) and whatever I use on the Nachtrit this weekend!  ;D

Sorry I missed your call earlier Mike. Can't make this one I'm afraid. Need to change the diff on Gertie!  :)

I know the South of France has been mentioned................. 8)

When are the full results going to be posted up?  :-/

Your car would still have looked better with a caravan behind it!  ;D

Seriously Peter, you did well.  :)

Exactly what I was thinking.  :)

I'll see if I can break the yellow peril at this weekends CT autosolo, but if I'm unsuccessful I'll try it again at this one.  :P

Thanks James. PM sent  :)

Anyone coming past the Reading area on the Sunday morning that can transport me to Bovingdon?

I have an overnight function to go and dont have a lift back  :-/

Bring food and drink. There's nothing there!

You could try for one of Peter Jackson's Peanut butter sandwiches, but I wouldn't hold out much hope on that one!  ;)

I hope the cute waitress is ok...

You perv!!  

My improvements and corrective measures (If I was on the same run  again) would be......

Fit a bigger radiator, swap the viscous fan for a manual one and fit an elctric fan.  :o

Possibly fit a Rover P6 'boot lid type' spare wheel carrier so I can carry two spare wheels!  ;D

I did think that the standard 2000 engine in the 'big saloon' struggled a bit up the climbs as well, but then fitting a 2500 probably might not give me the excellent fuel economy I acheived?  8)

Think you may have missed that one. its 18th July 2010  ;D

Something to get us in the mood! 🙂

Shamelessly stolen from the Shedtune channel!  

Entry going off today. I'm flying the 'big saloon' flag.  8)

There's also rumours of an estate going, which will be entertaining!  ;D

Now that man sitting there is either wondering, "Did I bury my tractor in the pile behind" or "has my tractor fallen over the edge?"

Or....'I wonder what time the shops open?' 😀

Dave was filming over Dartmoor but I never realised at the time and after making derogatory comments about a knob in a four wheel drive , driving with mobile phone in one hand, camera in the other hand and getting pickle out of a jar for his sandwich with a certain part of his anatomy, we decided not to show it! 😀

(But might if it meets demand  !)

Is that what also gave you the vampire blood red eyes?

Or was that just sheer 'knackeredness'?  :)

I was still awake at 1am Monday morning due to too many cans of KX energy drink. The jelly babies I took didnt affect me much as I spilt most of them all over the foor of the car anyway!

As for the cakes, I didn't even know there where any at Gledrid as I was faffing about with the car, (Dave told me after we had left when he had already scoffed two!) and at Pimperne I limited myself to one while Dave plate reminded me of Ben Nevis that we had passed on the Saturday. ;D

I used VR1 as well. Very impressed with it. It raised my oil pressure as soon as I put it in so I bought another gallon to take with me for topping up.

Didn't want to be topping up with old gunge after putting some decent oil in!  :)
