Lucas and John's Crap Car Challenge '11

[Lugy]

Next weekend will see the inaugaral CCC (Crap Car Challenge). We'll be "competing" in the Golf.
At the moment we're the only entrants and a challenge hasn't been thought of yet. The car hasn't been prepped either lmao.

We need ideas for a challenge around the Scottish Borders/North East England next Saturday afternoon til the early hours of Sunday. My first idea was to do an A-Z of place names and get a picture of each sign. Finding 26 places including one that began with a Z or X could be a bit more than a challenge. A sort of treasure hunt would be good.
I've got a few roads/greenlanes/fords I want to attempt, but nothing to link them .

Finally, does anyone else have a **** car they want to take part in? As a bonus, using a hire car gives you 100 points extra. I'm not sure if that's good or not though....

[Turbodave]

I'd be game and I'm sure Dempsey and Coo would be available for "driving/navigating/finding skanks in Clios on the M6" duties again. Only issue being the time scale and the fact we don't have a crap car to use... although we could relieve Coo of his van keys.

lmao

[Spinbitch]

Dammit too far away, my Piss-rat would have been perfect for this!!!

[COO]

erm....Saturday 12th or 19th ??

[Dave Dempsey]

Hmmmm sounds interesting.

[Turbodave]

erm....Saturday 12th or 19th ??

I'm out... the 12th is this Saturday!

Or do you mean March when the 12th is also confusingly, a Saturday.

[Lugy]

Oh, I was meaning next Saturday, the 19th! Possibly later, though I really need to have a better car by then .

Dave, the M6 is on the other side of the country....

[Turbodave]

Dave, the M6 is on the other side of the country....

And...?

[Lugy]

That's the boring side! I don't know any greenlanes over that side lmao

[CRA161E]

sounds like a plan, dont have a crap car but will come along for the banter and a drive

[Kerja]

sounds good

Hire car should give you -100 points tbh

oi, and stop looking at me, when talking bout hire cars lol

[Lugy]

Bare in mind that it'll be on a Saturday night ! Well a lot of it will .

[Kerja]

and I suppose I can really try to finally change them front and rear bumpers on me red weasel runaround

[Kerja]

I more then likely will be working on Sun but work only starts around half 9 (or when I'll get there lol)

so why the hell

[Lugy]

Plenty time to get to work, who needs sleep!

I've had a quick look at the Nothumberland section, nothing to technical, just some random (and some not so random) places involving some fords and some mild greenlanes (that can be missed out). John's navigational skillz will need to be mega sharp lmao.

[Kerja]

Im up for it anyway, and not needin' sleep I hope my Garmin Navigational skills will be alright as well

[Lugy]

Hey hey hey! Illegal use of sat navs is forbidden! It's all about the mappage!

Johns navigational 'skillz' are always mega sharp. remember or rally stage... and then compare it to you in northumberland navigating 2 years ago... twice lost and had to do 3 point turns on tiny c roads with a range rover v8, disco and a 90... was funny though. least the terrano had a gid steering lock pmsl...... Oh and i will expect LOTS of use of the handbrake mr lucas........ And you will get rally navigation styleeee

[Lugy]

Meh well, I was distracted by the dead sheep being eaten by the alive sheep.

[coupe-bertone]

PMSL, i was just distract by all the new toys on the motor like cb, spotlights and snorkel making noice noises

[COO]

mild greenlanes ???


no point fitting coilies on the van then !

[Lugy]

Probably not, that said, I'm not raising the front of the Golf. In my mind it's easier to fit a sump guard lmao

What I'm thinking is, head down to Northumberland around lunch time/early afternoon, do the things I've planned and get to the places I chose, then wind our way back up through the Borders , finishing up in the wee hours of Sunday.

[Kerja]

mappage and me doesn't really work I'll get bloody lost somewhere in the field, with smth fallen of the car, so it's not driveable at all lol

[COO]

So whats the leaving time ?

I need to be in Glasgow Sat Evening.....
