What is the rally program, when do we expect to get progress updates

[Admin]

Well S2N is a few weeks away yet, little matter of Czech Wrecks to dispatch first.

On the subject of Czechwrecks:

I am collecting the car from Marks place tomorrow night and will post up some pics of how it looks now, stickered up.

I will also add a link so anyone who wants to contribute to our (rather scary) petrol bill can do so.

From Thursday onwards we will be posting daily updates with pics on how things are going (and hopefully the car still will be!!)

Dave, you can count on me for a tenners worth of fuel to get you started.

[MartinP]

Yep, I'll go a tenner  

[hotel21]

Yup, I'll stump a tenner as well, so long as the pics and tales come back regularish, so we can (sort of) join in too!!  

keep it between the verges, gents....  And have a hoot. 8-)

[Markjay]

A tenner here as well.  

[Markjay]

...and you can borrow one of Ronnie's TDs (if he still got any) for the trip which will further reduce the cost..  

[RonaldMcBurger]

Doesen't work like that! Car has to be under £100. Many of the cars in the rally look like they cost a LOT more, but Daves Sennie definitely looks the UNDER £100 class!

In fairness I have driven this Senator a few times and it is actually a damned good car and goes like a train. I think we may all be pleasantly surprised to see Dave and Mark win. EIther that or I'll have to tow them back from teh M25 on Day 1

DAVE - GB sticker!!!!!

[Admin]

Thanks guys.

Yes Fin, I will be getting the sticker, the beam adjusters and a first aid kit today.  

[TheBoy]

LB, PM me your Paypal address, and a tenner will float its way over to it....

[Markjay]

LB, PM me your postal address please, I don't have PayPal...

[hotel21]

LB - likewise, paypal addy by PM, please, so I can send before you go.

[Allenm]

Tenner on its way - or it will be as soon as you post or pm a paypal address for it  

Best of luck to you both - Looking forward to the pictures and updates!

[Big Rod]

Good luck Dave and Mark!!!

On an S2N note, I'm pleased to say that the Team DV8 'Bargain Bucket' Omega made it's maiden shakedown run today on a 50 mile commute to Glasgow this morning. I'm happy to say that it completed the trip with a minimum of fuss and the only issue I had to report was that the spedometer is slightly 'optimistic' at times reporting an alleged 140 MPH when it felt like it!!

This in itself is a miracle because I've been predominantly responsible for the electrical and mechanical repairs and upgrades consisting of replacing the engine for one from a Calibra and many failed attempts at upgrading the brakes, (It's now runing a full set of brand new standard items!).

It makes you feel very paranoid driving a brush painted and stickered up wreck of a car amongst all the new silver BMW's and Merc's whilst constantly checking for any undue smoke/rattles or parts falling off!!

Good Luck with the trip and have a safe one.
