Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run

#1 Post by radders »

Entry is now open for the above! :D

Who's up for it? 2000 miles non stop in 48 hours next October. Will we see the Chatterton & Weaver V8 estates? Lets hope so.

Anyone on here doing it? My entry was posted this morning. :)

Good luck with the rebuild Alan. Havng a defined end date sure helps to concentrate the mind but doesn't ensure its success though. I plan to have the Stag rebuilt for my eldest Son's Wedding next July....

Cheers,
Mike.

Looks like Mike is moving along now!!

Still nothing on mine, just don't seem to be able to find the time at the moment!

And "TOW" Mike, not "TOWED", unless I can get a showman's license and tow the caravan behind the car trailer behind the Rangie!!!!

Even on LPG doubt that you could afford to do 2000 miles, by my estimates that would be about 4000 l of lpg at 67p per l - say £3.5k of lpg
