  1. The only thing I missed about not having a daily start point was that there were cars and more to the point, other club members that I didn't even know were on the run until I saw them at Rolduc. Admittedly, I should have looked at the entry list more, but I still wouldn't have seen them on the run. Plus, with this years entry number increased to 85, it was always going to be difficult to get everyone all in one place as well possibly?
  2. Count me in for this one. Just need to find a navigator due to most of the Essex crew being on domestic duties. 🙂
  3. Change propshaft before Saturday nights rally in Warwickshire as the one on the car was 'chinking' once or twice a day on the run. Adjust the rear brakes, Erm....and that's about it really. The car performed faultlessly as usual and covered 1,880 miles door to door.  
  4. You must be joking! When does he ever take advice or listen to people? 🙂
  5. Send Davemate a message. It's about time he started using his car for stuff other than commuting! 🙂
  6. Oh, come on Jon. Get into the spirit of things and do it in your Mk1 saloon. Fly the flag for CT. 😀
  7. Erm.....team glutton for punishment entering in the form of Radley/Wake. 😲
  8. Mr Wake and myself will be entering this. Should be good fun. 🙂
  9. I'm pretty sure that's how my one is wired up on Gertie.
  10. Why didn't you look at Gertie's o/d light when you were round the other Friday? 🙂
  11. I like the sound of this. I'm going to badger Mr Wake 🙂
  12. Hi Stuart, You'll have to let us know how you get on. Colin Wake and I did the Hughes Rally a couple of weeks ago and the East Anglian Classic yesterday. (Boy, it was hot!) I hope your tests are not as punishing on the car as ours were. Looks like I need to invest in more welding wire.  
  13. Sorry Jon, can't make this one. Will be smoking Gertie around the Isle of Skye and the Scottish highlands.
  14. Oi! Do you mind? I've not had a 'moment' (Or an 'off') for years now. 🙂
  15. Hi Alec, yes, I've seen them on the works cars. I have to say I much prefer the feel of them to the Mk2 'slide' type, plus the overdrive stalk on the column can then be used for something else. (Wipers, full beam etc. Handy on night rallies.)

  17. I have a similar performance overdrive gearknob to Martin, but mine is an Austin Healey one. Fit and forget! 🙂
  18. We never! But we did complete the second half in full and managed a couple of beers at the finish instead. 🙂 A brilliant weekend as usual and Gertie has just clocked up another 815 miles without issue or breakdown. Many thanks to the organisers of this fantastic event for making it so enjoyable. 🙂
