..hope you find someone to do the write up, to leave black lines in the road and to create a horrible burning smell from the dust covers on their front brakes after an enthusiastic descent of one of the Alpine passes

I can manage 2 out of 3 of these (and as i don't have any dust covers that's the black lines and write up sorted).

( although i might seek some contributions/pics/anecdotes from participants )

Well volunteered Max Don't worry about the lack of dust covers, Andy's were last seen smouldering in a litter bin at the bottom of the Petit St Bernard Pass
Now all we need is Maffe's new boss to give him the time off so we get some more of his amazing photo's

Indeed, and looks like the rear gunners are growing in numbers - potentially?!

You'll definitely want me to be banished to the back in Tom's usual spot as the Griff's kinda loud...

Will be a last minute decision which car to bring as the Griff is about to have the body off & not sure how long it's gonna take.

[Longers]

Tim, if it were me (which I appreciate it isn't!) I'd wait to do the work on the Griff until after Spa Classic in May* and bring the S on tour. That way you can fully exploit the extra power of the Griff during the "Parade Laps" and have the chuckability of the S for the Alpine twisties



*Also Liam will have finished tweaking my S by then and he'll be able to satisfy his desire of working on a Griff (YOURS!) without me having to buy one!

[PompeyTim]

Given a choice that's exactly what I'd do... unfortunately the MOT runs out early May & there's no way it's getting a ticket with it's Swiss cheese outriggers. (Yep, I did know they needed replacing when I bought it).

Or... given your superb organisational skills, any chance you could get them to bring the Spa Classic forward into April?

Thanks Graham. That makes more sense. I'm thinking about packing a water pump as well.

Exactly the two items I was thinking of packing as well.

[Longers]

Thanks to those of you who've paid your deposits already. Don't forget to post your forms to me

It was on the original email I sent you Mike. Resent a moment ago

[phillpot]

Oops got bored,too many words and not enough pictures, never made it to page 2


Can I pay balance yet or will that confuse things (although I appreciate that most people don't get confused quite as easily as me).

Note to self - try and fit the PIMP for a 5 day trip across Europe onto 1 page for Mike

[phillpot]

Pimp ? what's that ? ......I just follow the car in front (if its a TVR and if its not I panic)

Oops - distracted by booking my ferry tickets. I have printed it off, honest, and filed it with the other paperwork (aforementioned ferry tickets )

Job for tomorrow!

[Longers]

Thanks Max

2nd Note to self - if there's a green S at the front of the convoy it could be Han and we're going to be travelling quickly or it's Mike and we're going to get lost

In the post tray at work as I type.

You'll need a 3rd note to self Longers - if that green S in front turns out to be Mike, don't get too close in case of sudden/rapid stops. I nearly collected his recently re-built rear end in the Ardennes on last yrs tour when i locked up going in to a corner a little too hot!!!

And you're trying to blame Mike for that?!!
That's one good thing about being behind Han - he doesn't use his brakes much

[Scoobimax]

Longers said:

Not in the slightest, my own fault but I did get quite nervous

No need Ian, all he wants is more pictures!
Or just insert the word "stainless" every so often.
That should do it!

I've just been reading up on Switzerland, apparently they drive on the right.
It saves confusion if we do likewise.

I shall be out practising tomorrow.

I think that keeping to traditions are a good thing, so you guys drive on the left and give Han and me more space on the right side;)
