Craig: Lee, have to say I am enjoying hearing about your running repairs. Kind of know how you feel, every time I took my old kit car round Donnington something broke. Alway ended up doing some fantastic bodge to get it back home again. Craig I'm amazed he hasn't tried the "shoe on the tyre" method of braking, (made easier in this

Craig: Lee the car looks great. Carol was almost crying with laughter reading about the petrol cap incident. Good luck to you and you co-drivers. To quote a line from the Italian Job "Remember they drive on the wrong side of the road over here." Craig Don't forget ..................."You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors

Tip top thread Look forward to reading more as the trip begins

Jandyt: If I don't catch you before you go Lee, I hope you have a fantastic time, I am feeling excited for you. Give Gordon my regards. Andy T. ........ and the same best wishes from him! btw - is there a daftest car award between the competitors/participants?

9 LEE: That ought to do it !! Nothing a bit of PVA Glue and a copy of yesterdays newspapers (womble style) can't fix !! If nothing else, I suppose the papier mache will strengthen the crumple zone

Jandyt: Och! Don't worry about us Lee! I guess the fur will be a pleasant surprise for the flys and bugs! I hope you give us a close-up of your nose-cone when you get to Valencia! Don't you mean if ???

My only concern is that it is looking too proffeshneall - aren't your mates Heath and Robinson helping?? Then again it could just be the lighting and angle of the camera

9 LEE: Jandyt: A proper photo'-thread!!! This is what we want Lee, keep it up mate. Andy, i am going to be as fast as possible with this as it's Wednesday - and there's a thread in them thar hills !!! I'm going tomorrow, and this is my only chance to do the start of the thread - sorry guys Lee Carry on please - we need to be sure you

I seem to remember Dumb & Dumber had a furry car (van) - say no more!

Peter : My Goodness! I fixed a computer problem! Now that must be a first! Strictly speaking it was a memory card problem
