Right this may turn out to be the last post, we are entering the final hour, currently Rob J is trying his hardest to destroy the car, but failing that Rob B will have a go then roll over the line (hopefully). We are way back, not a snowballs chance in hell of co,ing anywhere else so just having fun really. the challenge is to get the car to roll over the line now, not spend the out lap in the pit lane.

The spares list is impressive, but our early rebuild thanks to Clodhopper the marshal was too much pit time to regain anything.

We actually managed to wear out a wheel bearing whiwh is pretty impressive.

right im offski, see you all on Fri. I think I may have to race the cat as my x6 is pretty much deaded now.

Shamcar1 is now back on home soil! Came off the tunnel around 10.55

We had a nice pizza and paul had some Chocolate ice cream too.

The mould on the bathroom roof didn't turn out to be a monster and eat us in the night.

I think you will find the condition of your car now is pretty much the same as before I rebuilt it. Only difference is that the bearings are a lot smoother.

Hey I resent that. I made the car last an whole hour after being told that the shocktower had been cracked, the rear tyres were knackered and the spur gear was on its way out.

P.s standing in the same position for an hour and concentrating heavily on driving a very badly handling car for an hour is seriously bad for your health. Plus I was dying for a ciggarette!

Had a fantastic time
made to my home 2am ish this morning absolutly knackered..

the journey down,up & down again was fun omg

Lloyd slept all the way back to nottm, we had Kfc in notts then Lloyd slept all the way down to the lodge and after a pit stop

then after tunnel in france and belgium Lloyd slept he woke up about a 1/2 mile from the venue and then stayed awake awhile only to say "i could do with a sleep" at which point both myself and Rob J looked at each other "You gotta be joking, you slept the whole journey"

Lmao

also the T-shirt part was hilarious, everyone is a medium except me & Lloyd, im a large & then XL for Lloyd who's answer was "actually i cant type it i would be banned " untill he put it on and then "oh okay it fits just " lmao lol

more to come

Doddy
