Actually you would probably come in the top 10 as the old veteran cars usually break down and the mad b*ggers then actually do push the machine to Brighton so they can get the trophy or whatever it is they hand out to the finishers

I ought to build a two seater so I can have a navigator. Ofcourse we would have to have the pilots scarves and all that lot!

COUNT ME IN!!!

I used to have a 44 yr old car - had it for 22 yrs and it finally died this year

Used to do weird cross country runs with one of my children when they couldnt read at all let alone the map!

We would always get lost and usually half way across a field and youd always find some other daft b*gger there stuck in the mud in some rusting 1940's hulk!

So Robin, you and me with goggles and leather flying helmets on trying our best not to crash laughing our heads off doing all of 35mph

When, my friend WHEN???!!!

Can't wait

p.s. that new avatar of the Ruth lady is driving me mad

She is lovely isn't she

Flirting with you too!

And why not!

Ruth is my sister Robin.....

I am checking ebay out for suitable chassis

Apparently 50% of 'young' drivers (whatever they are) cannot read a map and when shown one thought that the M40 was a river. The Avon or somesuch, so their geography wasn't much good either.

Clever smoke screen both of you saying you were an only child!

Much of what you say makes sense now

My brother posts here too, but not as aften as us

I think you should be able to sort the memberlist on how often people post and I think you'd be no.1

At the rate you are going you will be no 1 on the sheer amount of posts you have made!

Well I taugt my kids to read maps but learnt it myself in the CH CCF

They dumped us at night on Dartmoor with compass and map and a couple of biscuits

We were terrified of the hideous horned sheep whose eyes seemed to glow a weird blue colour

That was an incentive to learn mapreading!

My wife has the un-nerving habit of saying turn right and pointing left!

Mine does exactly the same

No wonder they can't park!
