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

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 

i can see no refund in may bank accounts either!

has something been hacked?

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??

 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

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

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 

mine is a smiths clock

none look like the clock in my early mk2 pi

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!

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

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

where else can you get so much fun for £2.29 per hour per participant and 2 brekis thrown in 

i hope i can get the laptop working as will be 2/3 way  down France on way to skiing 

sounds like you are you planning to go again McJim

try some local area reps including tssc as most areas used to have things like churchill  hub pullers and spring lifters

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!

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

i am sorted with a ride in a tr7 thanks 

will try thanks 

on another note i've been vaccinating in my P Injection T shirt

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
