VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hey people, just thought i'd explain why i've pulled out of this trip.. mainly down to money, I've perhaps thrown more money at the golf in a rush to get it finished in time, that ive simply ran out of money, the rear arches also need rolling, so i cant drive it hard currently.my aux water pump died on saturday, so that was another 80 quid out of the funds, birthday drinkig etc... just the wrong side of pay day more than anything (get paid on 25th apr), and still dont have any breakdown cover. Nevermind... I'm planning to go again on the 11th July - see thread: http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?224225Hope to see you there!Pete Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 and can someone bring a coolbox' date=',,to keep meat in,[/quote']Why? To stop it freezing!In my leccy box I'll have: 15m 'camping' plug to UK 3 pin socket lead.25m 'camping' plug to 'camping' socket lead.500W outdoor floodlight with UK 3 pin plug.500W outdoor floodlight with 'camping' plug.UK 3 pin RCD device.UK 3 Pin 6way multi socket.Small tent to keep it all dry.Cable ties.The campers will have to use their own ingenuity as to how to safely mount the lights to make them usable. Apparently they need to be 1m from flammable materials such as trees or tents.I'll take it most of the way but obviously to get it to the camp site someone will need to take it off me at the last stop.

thegoth 5 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 RE: Helmets. In answer to a call from a very, very excited sounding HVR6. In your own car helmets are not required, especially as it won't be the weather for pushing it hard at all. Although, if one person in a car does then all passengers should, or vice versa.If you are lucky enough to get a passenger lap with a Ringer then yes, they normally insist. But again I doubt there'll be too many of them out.I've got a small/medium one which anyone grabbing a lap with AndyL in the TT can borrow and am trying to blag another of an as yet unconfirmed size.

hvr6 88 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Cheers Nige, I have a small head please may I borrow it if I can bag a Ringer?! :-) or a lap with anyone else before I go out... Link to post Share on other sites
