Part two..August 31st..2nd Road Rash Reliability Run

[kapri]

Owing to popular demand ( and the fact we've loads of stickers left over ! : ) ) we'll be holding another on August 31st which doesn't clash with anything so no excuses.;)


Usual format, 100 miles of driving through beautiful countryside with like minded people.

[BLACKROD]

Count me in Kev

[kapri]

End of this month, start saving for the petrol now .

[Redmoggy]

Is there gonna be a beer stop?

[kapri]

Yes...but not as often as you'd like ;) Tell George to get his....in gear !

[Redmoggy]

Count me in then!

[smudge67er]

If the pop is finally on the road (?!?!?!) I'll be there. I've spent a lot of time and money getting her ready (very long story), and she will need a good run out.

[pompeypaul]

pencil me in kev..

[janner ratrod]

Kev,
will be riding shotgun with Richard again. Will get more photo's and write up again. I'll send the stuff direct to you this time??
Andy;)

[59pickupgal]

Yes, would love to....it might be the both of us, depending on his work, or I might bring my French co-pilot.....the crazy Breeeegeeeette.....:)

What sort of time do you finish up? and where? Just wondering whether to come and stay down there.....

[kapri]

Usually finishes about 4.00 just south of Petersfield, about 5 miles north of Portsmouth and 1/2 mile from the main A3 ( not that you'd ever know it :) ) .
Rebecca,we'd offer you a bed for the night but even less space than last time you came by, spare bedroom now home to a large hole in the ceiling !

[59pickupgal]

Thanks Kev, hahaha...wasn't hinting at staying at yours! But very sweet of you anyway....I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it.....so pencil me in! :)

Now the truck is running so well, I won't have to stop for petrol every hour! Hoorah! Edelbrock forever!!!!!!! :D

[kapri]

This coming Sunday, anyone else up for it ?

[Paul Y]

Kev,

Sounds like a good idea, might venture out in the Ditchfinder will depend on children schedule and how my head is after saturday night.

Can you give me the starting postcode?

P.

[kapri]

PO6 3LS ..look for the Micks Monster Burger van :)

[53anglia]

Kev,

Thinking of having a run out on Sunday,blower now sorted after the episode in Switzerland,would give it a decent run I reckon,do i need me passport?

Mark

[kapri]

Nope but you'll need a guide and some luggage bearers ! Fingers crossed.

[scrap yard dog]

oi whats this fingers x then ill have a tow rope lol and do you need to be able to send smoke signals in case you get lost

[kapri]

I've just been out and redone the tail end of the run to do away with the 'car wash' bushes for the bigger motors.:eek::D

[kapri]

Looks like the Shotgun position is vacant in the Special this Sunday.. Pm me if you own a warm coat and are of a sturdy disposition..

[Paul 32 Ford V8]

Sorry to say Kev, i still can't get my pile of junk working. Replaced the head gaskets and started it up today to find water streaming out from the heads, re torqued but no good, i guess they are warped and need machining. Back to the garage for me, to work on the pup i bought. Never ever let me buy a car again without a grown up !

Have fun everyone i wish i was there !

Paul

[kapri]

Sorry you can't make it Paul Iknow how you both enjoy it:(

For others that may have seen the doom and gloom forecasts in the paper Met Office says light showers around here tomorrow ..they lasted about 10 minutes the last time. :)

[OUTTACONTROLLA]

Cheers Kev for a great cruise , nice to do one at a good speed too !
Pity we had to bail out with that puncture - we just made it home flat !
Nice one , good route too .
Steve n Rach .

[kapri]

I wondered how you got on, shame you had to bail , we hadn't got to the real interesting parts by then ( though Little Switzerland made for some good stories ):)
