  1. You will have noticed my reluctance to take the lead from you when you pulled over after the gt6 you were following nearly went through a gate post , however once accepted I hope I didn't hold the convoy up to much in my 13/60
  2. Team 30 GEORGE THE HERALD Probably the slowest car in the field but I did give it bean's through Wales and by careful time management in the later stages still managed to be 5th car back Despite the weather this was once again an amazing event Massive thanks to the organisers and marshals who get thus boat to float Master light switch gave up sending voltage to instrunet lights ,google sat nav became my speedo Minor issues were a thermostat that stuck open somewhere bear Corbridge meaning no heat to screen so we were continually wiping away until john of groats when it was a less wet, but still raining and so an opportunity to change it( I was initially worried we had lost coolant, but thr car was running find until later miles when a small amount of choke was required, due to tge external water cooling going on by nature) A condenser started to fail and was swapped out at falls of shin Many thanks Julian and Ben George and Zippy knackered
  3. i can see no refund in may bank accounts either! has something been hacked?
  4. i woke to a notification that i have received a refund for the entry of my co driver for rbrr this am and his entry as 2nd driver has been deleted also from list too he says he hasnt done this i havent done this anyone any ideas??
  5. the maps are short sections i think you will be fine as long as you have opened the map and are running it before you enter a no signal area as it will be running nav from phone gps , you will lose search and live traffic functionality of course until signal/data is restored
  6. Yes when I did the coast to coast from Flamborough google maps did thus at 2am in a small dales village gt6 loud exhaust trying to turn round in a dead-end between a load of houses I did my best to be quiet 🤫

GOOGLE MAPS RBRR google map links with destinations added to keep it on correct route i have omitted 1st section as going up A1 doesn't require google nav and last section will be let google maps decide best route (trust at own peril , look ok to me) https://maps.app.goo.gl/NB6APYASzTKi8HUf7 wetherby to carterbar https://maps.app.goo.gl/isPsZcaJ7L2sBQh68 carterbar to kinross https://maps.app.goo.gl/CTqEU3mtxTBXiLaR9 kinross to skiach https://maps.app.goo.gl/od9ce4YjUsoFgjPS8 skiach to john o groats https://maps.app.goo.gl/WF1tv8Fr6jPHxuWr7 john of groats to falls of shin https://maps.app.goo.gl/4GRNchsFc3LavbZz5 falls of shin to loch ness https://maps.app.goo.gl/zA4yPuG9b3MNaEwS6 loch ness to the scotch pies(gartcosh) https://maps.app.goo.gl/3TJXKdiassy2Bf1AA scotch pies to tebay https://maps.app.goo.gl/M6M9D2ErrZ1TS8HF7 tebay to gledrid https://maps.app.goo.gl/hzbhsTQKDZs22AmJ9 gledrid to river wye(A470) https://maps.app.goo.gl/fnwgnhPAPBCuKb6e6 river wye(A470) to monmouth services https://maps.app.goo.gl/W9bzVjuM5qGwEq188 monmouth to okehampton services https://maps.app.goo.gl/gspfQehAoaHxeMsV9 okehampton to lands end (inc D.P. loop) https://maps.app.goo.gl/J7qieuR8YfLbSfXXA lands end to castle bude https://maps.app.goo.gl/tKfkV9iKyvX9aV1Y7 castle bude to dartmeet https://maps.app.goo.gl/j2hzZuopgPLp5mW68 dartmeet to popham airfield
  8. from bbc website for those of you driving cars that will do more than 20mph Will I be fined if I break the 20mph limit? The new 20mph limit has come into force for all restricted roads, which are defined as ones with lampposts placed not more than 200 yards (about 180m) apart. If you are pulled over doing more than 20mph in a built-up area in Wales you could, in theory, fined a minimum £100 and get three penalty points. But police say the response will be proportionate and reasonable while drivers get used to the change as the focus for the first 12 months will be on education - as officers have a level of discretion. GoSafe is made up of Wales' police forces, councils and the Welsh government, and applies the guidelines for road fines. It said while the public gets used to the change in the limit, it will only start to prosecute at 26mph in a 20mph zone.
  9. i remember following you some where around bude, it was an impressive smoke screen you were putting out 🙂
  10. Team 30 Bought this from Matthewsons auctions aka Bangers and cash to do rbrr in with my nephew Plan was to sell afterwards but youngest daughter has taken a shine to it so it may stay V good condition and has overdrive, upgrades underway, oil pressure gauge, a 2 inch rev counter, blue tooth small stereo, bigger rad, led lamps, period plates
  11. none look like the clock in my early mk2 pi
  12. i have booked for the cheap seats at premier inn, stayed there in 2021 much better post rbrr banter than i recall when i stayed at novotel 2016, and there is always McJim can the thursday advance guard let them know to have enough bacon and staff on for monday morning though!
  13. this is helena bonham carter in an itv production re nolly gordon, crossroads etc is this a 2000 mk1 and if so why have they airbrushed out the side indicator repeater pic on bbc news website as doesn't seem to have uploaded on here _128390026_nolly_fur2.jpg.webp _128390026_nolly_fur2.jpg.webp
  14. it last w/e of my summer break please send me entry form i may want to bring 2 cars me and wife and kids scattered between them
  15. where else can you get so much fun for £2.29 per hour per participant and 2 brekis thrown in
  16. i hope i can get the laptop working as will be 2/3 way down France on way to skiing
  17. sounds like you are you planning to go again McJim
  18. try some local area reps including tssc as most areas used to have things like churchill hub pullers and spring lifters
  19. Hi both my gt6s Inc current mk1 have run this combination, OK it may not be fastest off the mark, but is v relaxed motorway cruising and the 2l lump is v capable of pulling this. I easily keep up with tr6,s and it s as fast as my pi. Ratio is 25 mph per 1000 rpm in od and 20mph per 1000 in top. I'm sure thus would have been a more standard fit if more motorways were around and Stanley markland wasn't, hiding in the wings with his pull from 10mph in top gear without hesitation bull!
  20. My 2nd rbrr prev was 2016 in my own pi this as codriver in tr7 I enjoyed the blind date setup by volunteering as a last minute co driver. Francis was a great chap and serious rbrr veteran Gartosch was fine and did what it needed to do, rally app didnt work at all tried to log in a knebworth and carter bar and said no each time, did it need to recognise my phone no. ??? Run back in and to haynes was great was some of this due to fuel crisis and slightly less people on m25? Great banter afterwards in the cheap seats(beds)also at premier inn.(they ran out of breakfast items like novotel too) It would be nice to see more ladies on the event , how this could be achieved ? reduced entry cost or quotas but this may alienate other members but i throw it out as a thought. great event, as 2nd i could switch off easier when not driving and even missed most of wales bendy bits asleep. Thank you julian
  21. will try thanks on another note i've been vaccinating in my P Injection T shirt
  22. i am still available as someone got beat me to the above slot, goes without saying i will hapily pay the 'drop out' entry fee and contribute fuel and hopefully pick up their hotel slot julian
