Boothy Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Apart from Glynn Yates car falling to pieces Sat lunchtime, to be replaces with Dan Thomas's completely unprepared car we were doing fine, even apart the organisational dissarray, until my V8 caught fire doing a long uphill pull, Clouds of smoke billowed out from under the bonnet only to be told by the spectators that the underbonnet had caught fire, an oil pipe to the gauge had ruptured and was spraying oil straight on to the manifold, Glynn managed to put it out with an extinguisher only to throw it onto the passenger floor where it went off again, hit me straight in the face and left me looking like frosty the snowman. On the highwire harness section over a mudhole section, Glynn dropped the bitch supended via his winch cable in the dirt from 6 foot, he tightened the cable off goes Dan and then PLOP, face down in the dirt, Glynn forgot the handbrake, priceless Never had so much fun over 2 days in a long time, eat your heart out Peter Kay. No damage apart from the pipe, exept for bruised ribs laughing at Yatesy tring to bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tblandy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Excelent Weekend! Firsly want to say a HUGE thanks to Alan K and Saley for all the help they provided from reading the map to the 2 night recoverys (we'd of probobally just have got home if it wasnt for you guys!) Saturday all good. Sunday: Burned out the front 24v Motor after breaking the rope twice and snapped the rear wire 3 times Re-arranged front of wing. Team mate just adjusted his roof! Had a great weekend though and still came 6th which were over the moon with considering we started at 10.30 on sunday and made a BIG mistake on the night event by trying to 'NIP' across the BOG in the bottom of the valley. Thanks to the event organisers and all the marshalls, great job! See you all at the Northern Series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No damage apart from the pipe, exept for bruised ribs laughing at Yatesy tring to bitch. i put the fire out twiggy, infact i couldnt stop after running down the hill with the extinguisher from my truck and slid right under your truck , warmed me up though glynns bitching is priceless, its so funny and his driving is even more amusing.....just forgetting what a handbrake does isnt so amusing, but much to everyone elses delight top weekend out, 1st time ive ever teamed up with twiggy but loved every minute of it not really done any damage to the 90 aswel just scratched to front wings abit more....in the right direction aswel so the headlight aim was better, and ripped a axle breather off so alls good, apart from the bank balance from today, i sinned twiggy and rang north offroad was very impressed with the difference of running the winches on 24v through 12v motors so now after finishing a event with them like that im confident to leave them on 24v dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan kemp Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well I had a great time, thanks to the BAD Lads for all the "organisation" and the marshalls for thier efforts in the freezing fog. Jenny has some cracking pictures which she will post on photobox later today. The format worked well and levelled the playing field quite a lot with the different disciplines on the first day's special stages. Rabs steering guard should be patented as a motorised clay planer as the huge quantity of very good moulding clay forced into his engine bay was quite impressive, shame it stopped play for you guys. The Halifax lads were good to watch, great team work and some good driving skills, hope to see you again on other comps, thanks for the thanks but that is what is all about, I am sure you will help others out in the future if you are able.

Hopefully you can access the rest by clicking on the link below, if not I've done it wrong and need more training from Mr Kemp. http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/84722308 If anyone would like some better quality copies let me know and I will download them onto a CD for you.
