20 years of 2cv racing

[Derek Coghill]

Somebody mentioned taking part in a hillclimb; we did this a few years ago at Harewood but I'm not sure who organised it.

I still like the idea of 125 tyres and standard springs.

From talking to people about how expensive things can be etc, I like the idea of standard springs and tyres too Derek.

Oh yeah, (near) standard engines too without an expensive camshaft ;)

For those with a long memory - Hello from the Fat Controller.

If someone would like to give me an address I have some video footage that may be of interest.

First up is Project 2cv's first trip to Mondello (anyone remember the ferry strike?) at which the team won the "Ian Gammon Hardaway Spirit of the Event " award.
Second is more Mallory
& Third is yours trully being interviewed by SKY TV plus some coverage of an Oulton Race


Thats what I think I've got but who knows it's been a long time since I had anything to play them on. So if someone can convert it all to CD and let me have a copy back I'll shove it in the post!

Hi From the Fat Controller

Where do I send it?

[Paul Robertson]

Blimey martin when did you escape?Guess all that weight loss mean't you slipped between the bars when they were all looking for a fat bloke with a beard,next thing we know there'll be a fat bloke with long hair and a posh accent saying he's michael storey or something.
can't help with transferring the video, but good to see you're still lurking,although all the young girls have grown up now you know.
It's all done in the best possible taste you know.

So how many people fancy going to mondello and what sort of format race or races  would you like if we went?

[helen deeley]

Does it have to be Mondello? I'd love to go, but being on a really tight budget it will depend on what else we are doing next year......

[Trevor Williams]

Got to agree with CTD, depends on the race format for next year etc, as well as amount of time off work needed. I'm struggling this year to spend a weekend at home!

I'd love to go back to Mondello; as for the format, if we can be inveigled into a 2-day meeting we could maybe have 3 races? Just an idea. Does anyone know how many cars there are in Ireland? After the last 24hr there there was talk of an Irish series but it never got off the ground, there may be half a dozen or so.

[Paul Robertson]

It looks like it would all have to be on one day derek.they can only run from 9am to 6 pm.I thought if we had a long race with co drivers and maybe one sprint we could take 3/4 drivers as per 24hr teams and split the cost .

[Derek Coghill]

I'd be happy with that, Paul. I'd be even happier if it was dark and raining, though....

[Paul Robertson]

weirdo....













me too.

[Paul Robertson]

So only two of us then derek,at least we would both make the podium.If we didn't break down of course.

[Andy Craig-Smith]

Count me in. A 5 or 6 hour race would be great. Never been to Mondello !!! I could grab that last place on the Podium !!!
