Paul Morcom Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hi Dave, I have sent you a PM with details so just to let you know that (as a competitor and therefore not able to drive in the parade myself) a friend of mine will pilot my car during the parade laps with his son as passenger.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 If it helps, it's all in a very controlled and safe environment; a pace car at the front, another at the back, max speed 50 mph, no bunching and hanging back to create gaps and no overtaking. That's why we don't need helmets, and why, subject to appropriate seats/seat belts, all are welcome regardless of age, as passengers.

XTR2Turbo Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Well that looks like my car and Steves car wont be out there then due to being competitors..... Shame really!!!!!!!!!!!! What if you drove Steve's car and he drove yours? Would that still count as practise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 do you need full licence my boy jack would love to drive mine around me or the wife a passenger. I can put L plates on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Dave If you can get clearance for Steve and I to swop cars that would be good so long as we dont get penalised for extra practice ( we could not risk that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Full driving license I'm afraid. Sadly drivers are drivers, regardless of car. Full marks for lateral thinking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hi Dave I'm still trying to get the wife to drive the daughter around in my car She had a practice the other day and kept going from 4th to 3rd instead of 5th Fingers crossed the gearbox is still in one piece come September :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Best of luck Dave but without the competition cars I am not sure how big a parade you will have You could be right, there does not appear to be much uptake. But then Dave will have a better idea of numbers commiting. And I bet there will be a trend towards 'waiting to see what weather we get'.
