Default TOTB Ten of the best 2014

Greetings all.

I know this is a bit early, but out of curiosity who is/hoping-to compete?

I had a right laugh last year with the LADS group (Brian, Gaz, Dave, Henry, and John), although I may opt not to camp with Dave this time

I just need to find a motor in time for this year's tyre shredding ordeal

Brian I may be calling on you for a loan car

Hiya Banny,

I so this a few days ago, to be honest I don't think its worth the asking price. Allsorts of HKS mention, but no real substance to the advert.

For that brass I would put too and buy Brian's Hawk Spec C if he still has it.

What about yourself, are you motoring at the moment, are you going TOTB?

Joe it looks like you might need to evict your lady for the weekend if JG is planning a road trip

Dave you were entertaining last year, don't let an annual blow out put you off having one or two drinks After all you deserve it for the patience you have shown over the last 6 months or so

Banny, Get yourself over, you missed last year due to the same reason ya wimp!

Kedlestone what is your spec likely to be if your able to compete?

Personally I am tempted to ring Hurst about this to see if there is any deviation in the allotted price Looks like a well sorted car for the money

Over and out

Rob

450/420, but not looking likely on attendance due to a family birthday (inlaws 50th) so looking at late entry hill climbs or sprints at the moment. A bit gutted after watching for a few years and now finally getting around to having the car ready

Always next year

Sounds a bit like a girls car if it needs a billet 30

Great day, try and get there it's worth the once a year travel. And if you have £100 spare and some spare rims with tyres, enter yourself, it's a good laugh, and you'll be surrounded with plenty of friendly, albeit pissed, petrol heads!
