This Friday, the 6th of October will see the start of the Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run. The London-John O Groats-Lands End-London run is a massive challenge not only on the cars, but the crews as well as we strive to cover 2000 miles, non-stop in 48 hours.
Once again, we are running as a three car team, but this time with seven crew members. (Dave Harvey has opted to run as a three man crew, where as Richard Warr and myself will just have the one co-driver each) We are running two Mk1 Triumph saloons and a Mk2 Saloon. (See below)
My co-driver, Dave Maton came over on Saturday and we did a few last minute checks such as topping the gearbox oil up, checking the differential oil level and adjusting the front wheel bearings. We then found we had an electrical relay failure which was leaving us with no dip beam, or spotlights. The relays were therefore both replaced. (Good job I decided to check all the lights!) We also applied the event stickers to the car, which just left me to pack the tools and spares today.
So, we are all ready for Friday where we will congregate at Knebworth House to join over one hundred other Triumphs ready to take part in this magnificent event. We are all looking forward to it immensely.
The chosen charity this year is Huntingdon's disease (A very worthy cause) and if you'd like to donate, you can find our just giving page below. Every donation no matter how small will be greatly appreciated.
