Are you allowed to go faster if your car is on the back of a breakdown truck ?

of course as it'll be the only of experience of such speed whilst you own the car

. . . and you're saving petrol, smart move to get that breakdown truck to take you 300 miles home and the driver such a very nice man too

Been there, done that - all the way from southern France.

Cue opportunity to live up to "tart of the year" description and post another photo

I think I've found the perfect logo folks:-

I don't know, I think that's a rather bad bit of parking and do we really want to see crash helmets worn in cars it does rather suggest excessive speed even if it's only in the wearer's head

I for one am far too young to consider anything to do with Jaguars, I told them that 10 years when I was a member of the local JEC when they asked which model I owned and it'll still hold true in thirty years time

Tim, you really are a tart of the first order. Let's have a tarts challenge...how many more pics can you post within the Club55 thread before you receive your stickers

does the decal number increase by one after each recovery?

[v8250]

Breadvan...where are you? You're keeping ominously quiet and we're certain your wonderful Lancia would look delightful adorned with a subtly special club sticker.

On the way back Nigel. Fuel pump refused to function. To give Monsieur Depannage credit - the first thing he did was go for his hammer to give it a good clout but we'd already tried that, and everything else!!

Edited to reinstate some of the cut-but-not-pasted names.
Hands up if you've gone missing!

[Pit Pony]

Do I have to do 55 mph EVERYWHERE ? Even over speed humps.

I am honoured, nay, moved, nay, chuffered to be appointed by a grateful motoring public as Chairman for Life of this august Society, but, as an antagonist of Lord Brett's underrated successor almost once said, "Remember, you're only Chairman... for Life." Poisoned chalice as it may be, I will grasp it, but only if someone fills it with a heady mixture of Redex, Waxoyl and Vodka first.

Applying Club Rule 1, I appoint V8250 as Official Custodian of the Club RAC Breakdown card. Objections in triplicate on the usual form to be submitted by 0300 Zulu yesterday, signed by no fewer than 13 members of the Club in good standing. (See Rule 1)

[johnfm]

What the bloody hell are you lot on about?

[lockhart flawse]

...so... this good standing thing...

What's that then?

New Rule: if you have no clue what the Club is about, you are automatically a member of the Club.

New Rule: if you are not in good standing you are in good sitting.

As the owner of an Alfa that has not turned a wheel in over 17 years can I start a zero MPH section for those of us who have "restoration" projects?
