scruffythefirst Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Last you heard it wasn't even a rolling chassis. In fact, its still not a rolling chassis. You missed the option out of taking Dad's MX5 and throwing it off a cliff. Quote
dinkus Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Aww boo - the bare chassis pic was far funnier I'm voting you finish late, drive like a loon and catch up... Quote

samcooke Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 And reading the BEC list Steve Wiseman still doesn't have a head for his R1 either. You lot like to cut it fine. Just wish I was going too Quote
bofus Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I thought I was running fine, sump is back on but the dregs out of the old one were 'interesting' wood alu shards very hard metal lumps grit lumps of carbon Just gotta sort brakes, fill cooling system and oil, fix hairline crack in manifold, refit exhaust sort carbs and trumpets out...panic...pack..panic...head for ferry. PS Only 2 'real' days at home between now and 29th . GT Quote
scruffythefirst Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Well I don't know who voted for the first option, but they're wrong. I'll borrow me dad's MX5 if I don't make it in time. At least I have a job where I don't have to go to work between now and the tour, so I should have enough time, barring any major disasters. Quote
markcoopers Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I vote for fix in time but destroy before the coast in the UK Quote
ChrisF Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I vote for fix in time but destroy before the coast in the UK me too Quote
