Ihavn't done mcc events for years. Did them for about 8 years on the trot on bikes mainly and a season in a ford anglia estate.My best results were on my old R80g/s ,got 2 golds on that. One pannier for spare tubes/tools etc, the other for my overnight clothes for the piss up afterwards. Lots of fun.

full RACE TRIM

 

[Trippy]

Up at 6.45 this morning and down at Fingle Bridge on the edge of Dartmoor by 8.30 whe the first of the bikes had just started the section.
Met Proff and Devon in the woods and waited for Bakermans racing Fiat Panda to arrive.

Euan passes the time annoying Proff by hitting him with his Lilt bottle as you do.

Here comes the Panda.

And to yells of Bakerman you tosser from Proff he's off.

Covering me with bloody mud.

 

[(RIP) Proff]

A good day was had by all

After getting up VERY VERY early to hurl abuse at Bakerman
I got halfway up a hill near Fingle bridge.
Bakerman needed a lot of help with his 4 wheel drive Panda
Others like the following 3 pics seemed to do it without help and 2 wheel drive

I missed a pic of MUZMC as he wheelied over the step, but did shout "Well done Tosser" after him.

Two old faves of mine >>

 

[BAKERMAN]

Proff
Steve at the Hospice with his dad at the mo but he asked me to thankyou for the support and it cheered him up seeing you there.- Becky

 

[BAKERMAN]

Brilliant Cheers Proff and Trippy, for the support, Chester and I agreed at the bottom of the hill it was shite or bust, flat out we said, so I left the line well first bend we were good but hit that step.

Nearly made it, but met a NATIONAL TRUST LANDY comming down as we were going up, I know excusees.

We had a ball manage all but 2 of 10 hills, Pulled off FINGLE BRIDGE and stuck at another.

Oh by the way, its a 750L front wheel drive, wouldn`t cheat with `4x4

Great fun and sorry I couldn`t stop to sign autograhs and kiss your babies.

Bakes

He was a tosser, came down and then up just for the sake of it, Proff gave him the but I'm not sure if the one finger he gave back would be approved of by the elders in the NT.
