Surprisingly he was fine on the rostrum :thumbsup::woot:

Another thing on the way down, thanks to a lovely pot-hole (crater) :mad: in kent on the back roads to the tunnel, I could'nt go above 80mph for the rest of the journey there or back :thumbdown:..........

Raw-material Rob is the man for his excellent work on the reinforced front shock tower :thumbsup: which we then did'nt need :woot: :lol:
although have got to say his tools (dremal drill and dremal bits) did'nt like actually fit each other so he turned back into Angry Rob :lol: so if you could get by with the drill bit that was fitted you were fine.....:thumbsup::lol:

If i remember right...you slept all the way to worksop aswell:o
I havnt seen any pictures from belgium with your eyes open you lazy t*at...:woot::woot::woot:

Well done guys, you've done the Brits proud. :thumbsup:

Oh yeah dead alert. I think those horse tranquilisers that were suggested to keep ant from breaking the car would have been a waste of time since he was pretty much asleep most of the time anyways. Needs to eat more fruit!

I only slept for 4 hours!

I was on about Lloyd not you Ant....:thumbsup:

Just like to say what a good time was had by all! I would also like to thank the BRCC for their hospitality and to also providing some awesome mid-race food! Thanks to Lowie and GP for making us feel welcome.:thumbsup:

I have never done 39 hours with only 50mins sleep before but it seems that it actually improves my driving (RC driving only - the drive to the hotel was a bit surreal).

Speaking of the hotel - Antnee is not joking about the mould on the bathroom ceiling!!! Well what do you expect for €20?! I honestly didint think that my car (with all the gear in the boot) would be there in the morning.

I think that the funniest sight of the race was looking down from the rostrum at the 1/8 rallycross style pit area and seeing the other teams areas which consisted of a couple of allendrivers, a pair of rear tyres and a stopwatch - compared to ours which had - ALL of our allen drivers, roll-ups fags, tobacco, matches, bodyclips, my hastily home made spare drive pins, two empty drinks bottles, our cardboard pit lollypop, gaffa tape, stopwatch, CB radio etc etc - and yes we had encroached into our neighbours pits!

All in all a great experience - and good astro-turf practice!!!:woot:

Five minute races this Friday are going to seem so short. Maybe Lloyd & Anthony will even be able to stay awake for the whole race meeting. I might bring a pineapple just in case they nod off - they make surprisingly good wake-up alarms (ask Anthony about that...).

Who, what, why me? :confused:




:thumbsup:

My little summary of the trip and race

Stuff we like;

JP and Ludo, and the rest of the BRCC crew
the pizzeria we went to
Home made pit lollypops
Robs motor
The road markings


Stuff we didn't like
Needing more Pringles and Doritos
A brown jumper wearing marshal
potholes
X6 nose cones

I think that considering we lost over 270 laps due to the chassis breakage in the middle of the night we did really well to finish only 5 laps behind the 9th place team!!!!!! Go Le Shambles Team!!:woot:

X6 nose cones : why they need to be modified to work :confused::confused::confused::(:( bloody cr*p
