Rpm Late Summer Tour

***ColinD*** · 02-07-2003, 10:31

Actually, anybody know any good b&b's in that area or a travellodge...

I was totally knackered on the drive back last time, that dam M5, so if I can save a few zz's in the morning all the better...

redbaron · 02-07-2003, 10:31

im sure you did....

so what bhp will the FMIC'd 1.4 be turnin at the end of august?

**TaviaRS** · 02-07-2003, 10:36

If all goes to plan, about 93, up from the current 74

* May be subject to a multiplication factor of about 3

redbaron · 02-07-2003, 10:50

should be interesting...

not hoping to break the 100bhp barrier?

**TaviaRS** · 02-07-2003, 11:06

Not at the moment

See how I get on with that, may try and double the standard (74) horse power, eventually

Quinten · 02-07-2003, 11:15

I was interested to join in as a co-driver for someone, but seeing those prices... maybe not (unless I got a job, then it could be all different).

sihorton · 02-07-2003, 13:05

well i can't miss this sort of fun, time to put the scooby to the test!!

Checklist,

free day : check
car : check
co-driver : check
money : still checking

looking gooooood!!

I'll take anything that's offered. Happy to contribute to cost - haggling invited.

**delcac** · 02-07-2003, 20:05

I will be looking for a Lun.......sorry co-driver, the last one has not been seen since.......can't understand it.

Des

**TaviaRS** · 02-07-2003, 22:02

Oh yes he has, he's taking his Scoob this time

**TaviaRS** · 02-07-2003, 22:04

Oh and I have 2 willing vict... sorry co-drivers available.

Jason is first choice and Gossy fancies it again (man have cajones the size of mellons if he wants to get in a car with me again). He may end up taking his car/ passengering with Ian in the Scoob , who knows?

***ColinD*** · 02-07-2003, 22:34

Right you are Nick, or is that left? dam I never can tell...

mellowyellow · 02-07-2003, 22:50

Do you actually need a co-driver , or are they an optional extra ?

**TaviaRS** · 03-07-2003, 07:41

They are recommended but not essential.

devonutopia · 03-07-2003, 08:37

Recommended? Jon - you're gonna have to rip out the back seats, in order to compensate for my bulk sat down in the passenger seat... Although it could work as a balancing effect, at least side to side...? Or am I just talking bullsh1t again?

Is "navigation" really needed on these various outings? "100... BRAKE... LEFT 3.. OVER CREST.. BRAKE.. 5 RIGHT..!

**TaviaRS** · 03-07-2003, 08:53

Jason,

You can give it a go if you want

Knowing how I drive, and how bad I am at driving roads "blind" it would probably be helpful. However, I reckon it'd be more like:

"100....Left 3....Oh come on, what did you brake for.....over crest....no it isn't that bad....into fast right....give it some stick, 35 is not fast..."

redbaron · 03-07-2003, 09:04

I think some practise may be in order....

***ncarring*** · 03-07-2003, 09:29

Jas - it's bloody hard to keep up with the road usually - it's only worth mentioning things the driver can't see for himself.

redbaron · 03-07-2003, 09:33

like gatso's?

**TaviaRS** · 03-07-2003, 09:39

Like deer!

Like the road?

I think I'll just be looking out for tree stumps. I don't know how forested the area is?

I'm fairly astute to what a car is capable of doing in certain conditions, so I have no worries. I wonder if there will be a big dent in the passenger floorpan from where I've been trying to brake the car myself... JON? You got any dual controls? Or just give me a throttle..

EDIT: I suppose even though I'm doing no driving, I'd better bring my driving glasses, eh? Or I'll be like Mr Magoo
