it's a thought

i couldn't get the interweb thing to work for me so never got a page up..i idid get some pledges but as we retired i can't realy collect them...|BUT i have been using t a charity box and it's getting heavier... i'm doing another event mid nov where i'll be using it again..now i know , from past RBRRs . that Ct have issues with banking cash.. so my Q is , when i count the cash in the box, who shall i make a cheque out to ?

John's opening post is not the only time this subject has /will be raised...i even got asked a similar question .on the sunday morning ,by a photographer...iwas in the car park at the finish , early, as we'd retired from the event ..the organising team.of which i'm not part of, are always aware of this issue...and the event has evolved ..there are more controls...allowing  crews to stop....and giving them more opertunity to think about driver changes,,the''buffet '' at the finish this time gave crews a chance to wind down ..and ,with a bit of fore thought ..book a hotel and stay over ive always done it in a 2 man crew...and as to the driving hrs ...you could easily do 4 on 4 off, not tiring at all that's 6 driving stints and 6 rest ..and if you only sleep for half of the non driving sections you get 12hrs kip over 2 days ...that's hardly taxing ..there are a multitude of ways it can be done ..but working /knowing what's best for you and sticking to it is essential

Cars pretty much done it drives well just a bit slow  and by slow I mean it drives at normal speed but then I am running it on a normal dizzy so cany complain

sort of...head gaskets done now anyway..it was only leaking on no 6   so it still ahd 5 cylinders and was still running ..hence , down the list

jobs left to do oil change for diff rewire spots head gasket change

i put some on the list the other day...just gone back in to add to it and the list i put in has vanished?

i've tried the red bull and it did extend my driving time but then i couldn't sleep when i needed to...so in the long run it didn't help..best thing is to know your limts ..drive to them then swop and get some rest

been out for another little fettlin run...running much better ...oil pressue lower than i'd like ........just need to sort the overdrive out and fit a few comfort bits

Apart from a new facet fuel pump failing after about an hour...things are on schedule...need to sort an oli leak frrom overdrive box...wire overdrive up...re wire spot lamps.. change diff oil and tidy the inside...oh and drive it a bit .

car 127 now has an MOT no advisories....it then bfoke down on the way home  from the MOT man...leccy fuel pump failed..but sorted now ..just fettling runs to do

another daughter letting her dad down ...bloomin disgrace

looks like it's sorted ...team 127 [not 126] will consist of me and Dave 1360  we're gonna have a meet up at some point and decide which car to take    Dave has given Jason his details

That's that option off the list then and Dave 1360...thats' an offer i'm def tempted by

My co-driver [katie] can no longer do the event ....so option1 find another co driver..volunteers? option 2 jump  in with someone else ...offers? option 3 pull entry and let someone from the reserve list have a crack any other options concidered
