Finally September has
arrived, so are we are busy checking the car over, doing the last minute safety
checks, making sure it will actually get to Rome? NO
The radio works so what
can possibly go wrong?
|
|
We have a team meeting
scheduled for the 9th where we will discuss the important issues like will
Albert remember to turn up for the rally and does he really look and sound like
Bez from the
Happy
Mondays
We also need to find out what expertise Adrian has in the steering
wheel department as his brother Jon has cast aspersions!

brave sponsors Loquax the UK competition

Team meeting went well,
we all agreed the car needs a flashing red light on top, well actually no we
didn't, 3 of us agreed it needed a red light, but I think if you are going to
be a bear you may as well be a grizzly! so flashing it is!
We all agreed the
Loquax duck
which is a big duck is going on the rear parcel shelf and will also be
flashing! and will be available for photo oppurtunity's and the occasional roof
top appearance!
We briefly covered the oily bits but dismissed them all and agreed the
radio does work. It has a state of the art cassette deck and we had to explain
to Dan what a cassette tape was and that at one time you used to turn the tv
over by hand and it only had 3 channels! the young ones of today don't know
they are born!
Dan was also mortified at
the thought of his Dad bringing along his "when I was a lad" tapes,
Rush
and
Led Zepplin etc.

As the team were together
at the same time as the car!
a photo oppurtunity was
not to be missed.

So
a quick recap, we bought the car without seeing it, drove it 32 miles home from
Crewe, spent £10 on an indicator lens, had an MOT done, drove it 14 miles
to Manchester to get it sprayed, drove it 14 miles back from Manchester and now
we are going to drive it 1400 miles to Italy!
Theres nothing like
extensive testing and tuning and we have done nothing like that!
Staples to Naples or as it should be known Calais to
Rome!
