[Captain-Codpiece-The-2nd]

Right guys, the time has come! We are leaving for Belgium tonight, to fly the flag for our nation in the Charleroi 24hr race. If anyone can be arsed to follow us we will be blogging regular updates on our website www.team-shambles.co.uk . I am taking my new orange dong so I can post some of our tomfoolery on here regularly.

Also, we are trying to raise money for Macmillan Cancer support whilst doing this, so please feel free to throw a few quid our way on our just giving link, which is on the website. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and you can leave a nice (or not if you choose lol) comment next to your donation.

Vive le England!

Big thanks to.....
Rob J for rebuilding the sham-car
Rob B for stripping (oh matron)
Ant for feeding and watering my lizard
Dave for sorting the lights and chuckle bus
Paul for the detailed spreadsheets/action plan

MAGIC FLIGHT LAUNCH BOX (http://vaporizer.org/reviews/magic-flight-launch-box)

[Captain-Codpiece-The-2nd]

Team Shambles is now officially on the road. Split into two cars on our epic roadtrip. Shamcar 1 is Rob B's work car, with Ginger Ant and Paul and blatant disregard for his works fuel card. They are making good progress and are in Essex already. Shamcar 2 is Dave's chuckle-bus. We have been on the road for half an hour now, and have made it as far as Daves house. :blush: He forgot a cable so we had to return. Now en-route everything is going to plan so far..........

Tonights destination is Travel lodge in Dover somewhere. 2 rooms shared between 6 guys will be interesting.

So far 2 things have become evident on this epic learning curve of a roadtrip. 1) Dover is quite a long way away and 2) it is very hard to type in the dark.

100 miles in to our trip and Rob J has forgotten his passport. I am not making this up, he actually has. A quick about turn and now we are heading back up the a1. They don't call us team shambles for nothing!

Tally ho.

If you carry on like that at least you'll save on the hotel and make the ferry in time. :thumbsup:

[brooksy]

Hilarious already!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:.

Keep us posted on your trip across the channel. Are you going on it or under it?. If your going by boat I'd stay well clear of the sides,you wouldn't want to loose anything or anyone!!!!:p

[Captain-Codpiece-The-2nd]

Just reaached the travel lodge. So far we have covered 500 miles and not even made dover yet :blush: > After a few directional issues, Dave 'motorkiller' Dodd has now been re-named, Dave 'ah shit I was supposed to take that one' Dodd.

Rob J has won the 'Golden Cock' Award for forgetting the passport, although it did make me and Dave sheepishly check ours the second he said it.....lol.

Got to be up in an hour and a half :cry: Then we are going under the channel. Knowing our luck it will collapse or something.

Meanwhile, the occupants of shamcar1 are nicely tucked up in their room and have been for hours. An early wakeup call for them methinks......

Tomorrow we will press onwards to breach the French coast, we will liberate Calais first, and swiftly move on to the Belgian border after a brief party and celebration.

More things we have learnt so far....

Dave doesn't like, nor understand my Irish satnav lady

www.a1adultstore.com (http://www.a1adultstore.com) looks like a great sex shop, if only it was open untill 1am :(

sleep well tonight , brave men. For tomorrow we will press on into territory unknown....... some of us may not make it back to see loved ones, some of us may received terrible injuries in the line of battle (I have already cricked my neck from sleeping in the chuckle bus whilst Doddy seeming powerslides around motorway junction roundabouts) but we must fight hard for country and pride, and push onwards into hostile territory.

Peace out.

04:13 and we are on the orad again. We have re-united with shamcar 1 and they look much more fresh than us.

I have realised that whilst remembering my toothbrush I have forgotten my toothpaste and instead bought a tube of savlon. Well it looks like toothpaste?

I have made an alarming discovery.....Rob J owns a big gay manbag (see pic).

Things learnt this morning.....

Rob J is an actual metrosexual

Rob B has actually cleaned his rep-mobil

Travel lodge are rubbish, as they do not supply the mandatory biscuits with the free tea/coffe in the welcome pot. Fail

Daves chucklebus doesn't like my Queen CD

daves chucklebus actually goes round rooundabouts quite well

Qualifying has just finished, Team Shambles are 'th on the rolling grid.

Pauls batteries are rubbish, despite being '4000mah', they don't last as long as my 3600mah Trakpowers! So slight change of race plan.

I seem to be the most tired despite not doing too much.

Rob J has started on the red bulls

1 tube of pringles has been eaten

We have been awake for over 10 hours already and the race hasn't even started yet!


Next telligram will comence once the advance is underway

Good luck Brothers,keep up the Shambles code of honour in Europe...:thumbsup:

[Captain-Codpiece-The-2nd]

everyone keeps logging in to oople on the same laptop here, I have made it my mission to oople-rape the next person that leaves the,selves logged in :thumbsup:

[Lowie]

I especially have my eye on that ginger one...... he best sleep with one eye open tonight

[Captain-Codpiece-The-2nd]

:( bad news Im afraid. Shamcar got trodden on by a marshal and is now dead last. our spares total now is 1 nose cone, 1 bulkhead, 1 wing, 1 hub carrier, 1 servo mount, 1 drive pin and 2 shock towers. Not bad even if I do say so myself.

The lights have just gone off and now its really scary. Ant just told me he wants a hug as he swears he just saw the boggie man.

We are slowly clawing our way back though, so dont write us off yet!

Ive just done a 1hour30min marshalling stint cos lloyd needs his beauty sleep to get any chance here :p

Dave is fast asleep in the chucklebus, after being awake/driving for near enough 24hours!

All of us (except lloyd) have been awake for 23hours and theres still about 13hours to go :o

Still dead last, keep getting lots of niggley problems :yawn:

[antnee]

He has that shirt with him for our 'night out in Charleroi'!!!!



Ive just done a 30 min stint, didn't break anything :thumbsup:

The car is pretty much dialled for everyone, we're all doing fast laps just certain members cant keep them going :blush:

Rob B is making a shocktower

We also have a pit lane lollypop - F1 stlyee!!!!

[Captain-Codpiece-The-2nd]

Right this may turn out to be the last post, we are entering the final hour, currently Rob J is trying his hardest to destroy the car, but failing that Rob B will have a go then roll over the line (hopefully). We are way back, not a snowballs chance in hell of co,ing anywhere else so just having fun really. the challenge is to get the car to roll over the line now, not spend the out lap in the pit lane.

The spares list is impressive, but our early rebuild thanks to Clodhopper the marshal was too much pit time to regain anything.

We actually managed to wear out a wheel bearing :o whiwh is pretty impressive.

right im offski, see you all on Fri. I think I may have to race the cat as my x6 is pretty much deaded now.

Shamcar1 is now back on home soil! Came off the tunnel around 10.55

We had a nice pizza and paul had some Chocolate ice cream too.

The mould on the bathroom roof didn't turn out to be a monster and eat us in the night.

Great. We need to see photos.

I think you will find the condition of your car now is pretty much the same as before I rebuilt it. Only difference is that the bearings are a lot smoother.

Hey I resent that. I made the car last an whole hour after being told that the shocktower had been cracked, the rear tyres were knackered and the spur gear was on its way out.

P.s standing in the same position for an hour and concentrating heavily on driving a very badly handling car for an hour is seriously bad for your health. Plus I was dying for a ciggarette!

Lloyd slept all the way back to nottm, we had Kfc in notts :lol: then Lloyd slept all the way down to the lodge and after a pit stop :lol:

then after tunnel in france and belgium Lloyd slept :woot: he woke up about a 1/2 mile from the venue and then stayed awake awhile only to say "i could do with a sleep" at which point both myself and Rob J looked at each other "You gotta be joking, you slept the whole journey" :lol: :woot:

Lmao :thumbsup:

also the T-shirt part was hilarious, everyone is a medium except me & Lloyd, im a large & then XL for Lloyd who's answer was "actually i cant type it i would be banned :lol: " untill he put it on and then "oh okay it fits just " lmao lol

[CougarRob]

Just like to say what a good time was had by all! I would also like to thank the BRCC for their hospitality and to also providing some awesome mid-race food! Thanks to Lowie and GP for making us feel welcome.:thumbsup:

I have never done 39 hours with only 50mins sleep before but it seems that it actually improves my driving (RC driving only - the drive to the hotel was a bit surreal).

Speaking of the hotel - Antnee is not joking about the mould on the bathroom ceiling!!! Well what do you expect for €20?! I honestly didint think that my car (with all the gear in the boot) would be there in the morning.

I think that the funniest sight of the race was looking down from the rostrum at the 1/8 rallycross style pit area and seeing the other teams areas which consisted of a couple of allendrivers, a pair of rear tyres and a stopwatch - compared to ours which had - ALL of our allen drivers, roll-ups fags, tobacco, matches, bodyclips, my hastily home made spare drive pins, two empty drinks bottles, our cardboard pit lollypop, gaffa tape, stopwatch, CB radio etc etc - and yes we had encroached into our neighbours pits!

All in all a great experience - and good astro-turf practice!!!:woot:

Five minute races this Friday are going to seem so short. Maybe Lloyd & Anthony will even be able to stay awake for the whole race meeting. I might bring a pineapple just in case they nod off - they make surprisingly good wake-up alarms (ask Anthony about that...).

Team Durango France win 24hour race with DEX410 (http://www.team-durango.com/blog/?p=580)

Filed under: News (http://www.team-durango.com/blog/?cat=4) — Team Durango UK @ 11:19 am
Team Durango France sent us this brief but factually amazing race report:
“What an incredible victory for the reliability of the Team Durango DEX410 – winning a 24h hour race with almost no issues!*
With more than 4,300 laps completed, the winning DEX410 was over 130 laps ahead of the second-placed car and – wait for it – more than 1,000 laps in front of the last placed car!
