The Vectra hire car, demanding it HAD to be a manual, taped over headlights, PMT stickers, airbox PMTd :D
Talking Scottish, saaawsaaaaarge :D
Brake testing and wheel spinning the Vectra to test it out :D
Re: 10 years ago today.....
Oh and realising about an hour into the journey back to the hire place we still had the number plates taped up :D
With 4 Janky southerners wearing black hats (suspect) :D

That one with Giles borrowing the clothes HAS to be the funniest one ever. That was just so feckin funny. ''ere Giles, that geezer's about your height, ask him if he's got any clothes you can borrow, so we can go clubbing" :laugh:
Then there was Mike (M5) holding up that ESSO garage with an anti-perc' fan, at 2 in the morning after a night out, before THAT moment with the bottle of Coke, and force feeding Lee (Rodders) tea bags, because he wanted a cuppa!
And the night with Tricky and the munter was also the same night he was rattling on about what a big drinker he was, before getting smashed on 2 pints!
Re: 10 years ago today.....
I can't stop grinning, soooo many stories :D
A bit emotional as well as they're good times :cool:

Re: 10 years ago today.....

Best thing was when the Police car pulled him over :laugh:
Lucky git got away with it also :wasntme:

Ah yeah. I organised that Bristol RR event.:) Ricky lost us somewhere over the night and got a lift home by plod in time for breakfast, still pissed.:laugh::laugh:
My cars gearbox change was typical of our amazing club. Only in the rtoc could we have a double header TD weekend, Cadwell and Rockingham, blow my gearbox to bits at Cadwell, bung it on the trailer and change the box in Travelodge carpark on the day off inbetween! Col found a gearbox somewhere in London and the boys coming up for the Rockingham TD picked it up and transported it to us in Corby. All hands on deck to remove box. As we pulled it out the next box arrived. Bunged it in. Quick forward and backward test in the carpark. Back on the trailer. Back on the beers and out at Rockingham to complete the TD the next day.
Tricky beating the sh*t out of that bit of armco in the next garage to the briefing was that same Rockingham TD!
Feckin' awesome times.:smokin:

It was a few years later early 2000? when i met such stalwarts as Sparkie and Karlos just when the internet started and RTOC was born.:D
