Bandit, was it not one of your beefs, you didn't get your efforts on film? Maybe people like to see big money teams, instead of people that have a passion,on film? Hence, Drivers seems to be in my opinion(on previous rates)expensive. I'm still in ore at what I got for my 2010 membership card ??
Having said that the bandit did look like it needed a touch of TLC a while ago.
Barry, get the jobs done n pump the tubes up mate.then go kick some rrrrrs

Key thing for your discussions is to keep it affordable. That was part of the success of the Essex event last summer.

That's really interesting James. We will talk about that. I certainly would like to take advantage of this if possible. We will come back to you on that. PM me your email address please.

We filmed him whenever we could in the RB08, when he was actually running that is and there is excellent footage of him running in the CTC of 2008. Regarding rates, we will endeavor to give value for money.

Not just my beef about getting any coverage there were others.

This years Poker Run will be run out of Drivers on Saturday 12th July 2014. Full details are being put together now so that by mid next week we can post these here and elsewhere.

Many thanks to Gill & Co at Drivers for allowing us to use their facilities.

It looks as though a riotous party will be held that evening at Drivers with Gareth's Blues Band providing the music plus a whole lot more. Full details will follow shortly. The aim of the day is just to have a lot of fun, nothing else.

The course will be approx 55 miles in total. Re-fueling can take place at lunch time in Cowes.

christ! i would hope so too!. Anyway peeps thjngs are happening behind the scenes but as we are still in early stages of planning not much to report..... by that i mean we are not doing endless posts with very little news otherwise you will get bored of the thread!


I will be doing a facebook page with updates too and this will hopefully move on to a web site.( not by me as i dont have a clue how to do it) So at some point We would love to do a runners and riders area.

keep watching
Paul

I will plan on finding and fixing my boat on 11th July then!

Maybe even leave sea water hose off on the engine to give the engine bay a bit of a clean on the way to the start line.

Chaos can you lend me some of that magical stuff you are supposed to put in gear boxes.
