  1. What a dreadful shock. Very sad. We met Nuala on the RBRR2018 we tried to keep up with the yellow peril but failed mostly….except when the co-pilot was driving!! Nuala was certainly a great advocate of long distance events and a great loss to the Triumph world. Our condolences to her family and friends. Ben & Vicky
  2. Surely the fact that the cars are old defrays some carbon? Mine is 64 years old, that must count for something. I’m sceptical about carbon offsetting and paying someone else to salve your conscience. Land near us has been bought uo to plant trees specifically to help businesses offset their carbon footprint. That’s lazy; they should try harder to reduce their own footprint not pay someone else to do it for them. How many RBRRs can you do before your carbon credit has run out!?😜
  3. We joined CT in 2016 specifically to do the RBRR, we’re still here and have never noticed a clique/elitist culture. In fact CT is the most down-to-earth club we belong to! Frustrated that we couldn’t participate this time due to my knee surgery but marshalling at Bude renewed the intention to do the next one in our rejuvenated TR3!
  4. Hi Tim, now that we’ve moved to North Devon we can help at Monmouth, Okehampton or Lands End but we’ll need training! Ben & Vicky
  5. Agree re Turweston Tim!  I think that perambulation has finished off my rear spring bushes!  I have fond memories of the location however as it was where I learned to drive in my Old Man's Herald 13/60 Conifer Green estate back in 1978 but it was a lot smoother back then and there were no buildings!
  6. Wooh Hoo! I'm in!  Thanks Team for sorting me out.  Now finding my way around the new site.  It looks great!
  7. In that case Jason perhaps we should try clay tablets next 'cos I cant enter using the new system 🙁.
  8. We are trying to enter but being frustrated by the system!  How do you link your login to your membership status but Vicky is down as a non-member? We are both paid up members! GRRRR!! I'm still waiting for my email linky thing (and its not in my Junk folder!!)
  9. A couple of videos to refresh this thread! [url][/https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvtGXqtaq4RggjUuY9No_mNPU5Rn] [url][/https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvtGXqtaq4RggjTzbTS_5UUo4XFE]
  10. Well nothing fell off. But the annual output from a moderately sized oil state passed through it! [Apologies for anyone following us who got an unexpectedly greasy windscreen!] .  By Sunday there was also a bit being burned too! 🤔.  . Poor acceleration on Sunday was tracked down to low oil in the SU's dashpots.  I grudgingly parted with a few drops of my rapidly dwindling supply of engine oil and all was well . So I think there will need to be some investigative surgery over winter!! Apart from 10 litres of Halfords green stuff we did 3302km (2052m) door to door and averaged 33.7 mpg which, considering the speedometer calibration exercise I did on a quiet stretch of autobahn, ............wasn't at all bad. Engine remained very cool although engine oil temperature reached 100 degC at the top of the Stelvio.
