Morls Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hi Trev I've seen the Pan-Euro engined Loca-err-Euro at Stuart Taylor's premises and it's a lovely looking thing. But building a new thing will cost plenty moolah and chow, whereas changing something already SVA'd & registered must be easier. *idea*Come to Langbaurgh on the 30th and try them all (including my Mavis, now OTR), for size Mark Look it's Mavis here and Jubilee 7 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Trev Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Just what i was thinking. Just offered some money for a registered locost. Have a pan euro lined up (full damaged bike, less bodywok and clocks) (front ender). A bit bent in the old frame department. £400 what do ya think ? Langbaugh Already been invited, already acepted. Won't be going anywhere near to track tho'. Habit of having to sweep most of me vehicle bits up after going there Never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes ! Then who cares, Your a mile away and you've got his shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morls Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I think the last bike-engined vehicle that I binned at Langbaurgh was yours 😳 But I've crashed generator engined ones there plenty of times since 😬 The Pan-Euro sounds like a bargain, and a locost with top-box and panniers would be Tres Cool Mark Look it's Mavis here and Jubilee 7 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Trev Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Top box, Panniers ? Now there's a thought. I'd av to get me sel' some Frank (JOHN) Thomas boots and shiny illuminous waterpufs Never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes !

Morls Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 We could invent a sort of 'Cafe Racer' challenge for se7ens...... Timed laps which have to include the consumption of a whole pie We'd better limit it to three practice runs and two timed, 'cos after 5 pies no-one will be able to fit in the Strikers Then an 'Endurance' round... where we have regular pit stops to change the roast potatoes (for an empty tray) and fill up with gravy Mark Look it's Mavis here and Jubilee 7 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Obviously Pukka pies that contain meat, time penalties if no animal has been processed. Could there also be a handicapp ie 7 pie limit for SVs' , 5 pies for Roadsports etc Then for the endurance race there must be visits to Mr Wongs All you can eat Buffett This could even include a "LeMans" start from the table Fat Boy 140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossybee Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Which reminds me of a chap I know who is reknowned for being a bit ruff 'n' ready shall we say... Was getting the Dundee - London sleeper train once, got tanked up before the journey, and bought an indian takaway for on the train. Got into the cabin, realised he had nowt to eat out of, so just put the plug in the sink, and slopped the lot in... Still makes me wince & chuckle at the same time 😬 Rrrrrrrrrrroooossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss !!!!! here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 "Reminds me of a chap" When I say that a mirror is normally close at hand!!

rossybee Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Yeah, but the cardboard lid can be a bit cumbersome to use with the Ruby Murray still in the foil container.
