Probably had a chat with him over a beer, maybe. Just ask him if he knows of Team Shorts :) Me and my mate Gaz just have a laugh and take the mickey all the time wearing loud shorts and shirts, The GT6 gets hot and sweaty so we dress accordingly ;) :P :D

There's usually 2 or 3 that don't make it and lots of inventive ways of patching things up to get around the route and back to blighty. With the largest collection of 1/2" spanners in the Alps every 2 years there are often some very creative solutions used to get home.

The hot dog seller is just by the wall every one looks over for that awesome view of a piece of tarmac dropped on the side of a mountain. Very difficult to miss him and his food is very tasty :) Having said that a scabby horse would have tasted good after getting off the ferry in Calais around midday and driving through the night into the next day till around 5pm for that hot dog. We go every 2 years, around 60 old Triumphs of all shapes and sizes. It's called The 10 Countries run or 10CR and we do around 2500 miles in 4 or 5 days.

and this one is a little embarrassing :) ;) :P

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas :) I'm sure I'll be able to come up with a load of daft questions, promise I'll try the search function first though ;)

Just to say hi to all and hope you don't mind a few questions in the coming days and weeks :) Just got my hands on a P1, number 22, with a few subtle mods and I'm already blown away by the fun it is to drive. Picked it up on Thursday Jan 29th and so far very happy with it. Modifications over the standard specifications are as follows: SimTek ECU Upgrade yielding 335BHP AP Racing Big-Brake Upgrade with 330mm discs STI Type UK Version 8 'new-age' intercooler RCM Cold air induction kit HKS SSQV3 Blow-off Valve Full stainless steel exhaust including downpipe (turbo-back) Exedy Race Clutch plus upgraded lightened flywheel 550CC fuel injectors Defi Gauges So far I have a few niggles to sort out (after all they are almost 15 years old). 1. OSR brake hose is a little tight from the shocker bracket to the caliper. 2. Headlamp washers don't seem to work. is ther a correct sequence or just push the button on the dash? 3. Boot floor wet but not rusty. 4. Rear washer pipe disconnected (don't think it's leaking into boot) 5. Exhaust turbo down pipe bracket not connected to gearbox at mounting bracket, though i have seen an advert saying that the new age down pipe fits but is not attached to the gearbox. 6. Fog lamp/Driving lamp cover screws seized in solid, any tips to get them out or is it a case of very carefully drilling the heads off the screws? 7. Front sidelights need drying out. 8. Small rub on OSF of front splitter, touch up paint needed. I'm sure I'll find a few more bits and bobs as time goes by but I don't mind a bit of tinkering here and there ;)
