And then there's the Knockhill weekend...
The Vectra hire car, demanding it HAD to be a manual, taped over headlights, PMT stickers, airbox PMTd
Talking Scottish, saaawsaaaaarge
Brake testing and wheel spinning the Vectra to test it out
Oh and realising about an hour into the journey back to the hire place we still had the number plates taped up
With 4 Janky southerners wearing black hats (suspect)
"Can't drive an automatic. It's against my religion"
I'm in stitches here
Awesome times
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"
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!
I can't stop grinning, soooo many stories
A bit emotional as well as they're good times
It was worth the wait, they had a truck delivering more hire cars to the airport!"Can't drive an automatic. It's against my religion"
My memorable story has to be the one on NBATR 07 with Tricky & his Starsky + Hutch magnetic blue light & pulling random Europeans over.
Best thing was when the Police car pulled him over
Lucky git got away with it also
Epic Win of a trip was that one Steve !
And then there's the Knockhill weekend...
errrr no fannks....... more like a donkey derby when we turned up.......
I remember when Adam L was 16 year old kid from west london..........and very friendly on the boards.........
Ah yeah. I organised that Bristol RR event.
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.

Was that the track day Billy ball bag filled the fuel tank up with the water?
I'll only ask you once, where's the light!My memorable story has to be the one on NBATR 07 with Tricky & his Starsky + Hutch magnetic blue light & pulling random Europeans over.

What light?
I told you I'd only ask once!
Here you go officer lol
The classic look of realisation on Billy's face when I asked him where my water/ethanol container was.
Yeah, that was the first diagnosis."Some caaants been pissing in our tank.."
Its took mi this long to log in and catch up with previous post, hahaThink it was about 1996/97 when i first joined R5gtt owners club when Malcolm Rousse and Rachel Fodden where running the show. Used to love it when the Wastegate mag dropped through the door, as at the time that was pretty much all the info there was on local events and other members.I remember GT Tunings glossy colour mag with all the expensive chrome ****e in.
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.
Bloody 35 this month and feeling decrepid!
