F1 drivers Rover 620i / racing at 24h of lemons

@motorpunk I’ve heard from a director here that they’ve increased the time you need to be at the airport.

Not fully sure if it’s for everyone or every airport, but I think Heathrow wanted him at the airport 4 hours before he flew to Saudi Arabia.

So just maybe check!

[motorpunk]

Thanks @St.Jude - I’m pretty much always the last and final passenger to board. 👍🏼

Great. The place I’m supposed to be parking near the airport is being dug up by the council. Fuck paying ££££ at Sheathrow.

Also - have packed first aid kit.

You tried the Marriott near there? That’s where I dump the car when I’m brave enough to fly.

On way. One poo. Two rounds of toast. Going via workshop for something we forgot.

I know the car barely works but surely our guy has taken care of critical preparation like this

There’s a button on the dash named Slim Jams which plays a Bluetooth speaker of the great man’s jazz bongo action. We don’t have any suspension fitted, but we have the important things covered.

Am in Manchester. By the sea. Eating zagnuts which MUST be in Viz’s profanisaurus.

[somewhatfoolish]

It's like a Range Rover by Temu, which is really just a Range Rover these days. I bet they'd prefer to still be in a Crown Vic.

Stonehenge. Riiiiight

Hello again old friend!

[motorpunk]

Sit rep. Am in an air bnb and haven’t slept thanks to my team mate snoring like a mating walrus. Car ride height is weird but we’ve got some fancy suspension on and we’ll bugger about with it later. Car gets a spray job today. Bye bye resale silver, hello two tone yellow and white like an ATS F1 car. Vinyls are here. Boot-mounted speakers play Slim’s jazz goodness to anyone behind as a deterrent to overtaking. Food here is disgusting. It’s 6am and I need coffee. Crew car is a rented SUV thing which works and a mate’s E60 M5 with all the dash lights lit. 
 

Anyone want more pics or are you bored?

Would be good to know what he played on, and I can throw them on a playlist here.

Made in Sweden is the band. Go for it! 

[motorpunk]

Looking for parts…. Nope.

crew car is ace 

[St.Jude]

Shall add more selected Abba's to it, but this is pretty much all of the Made In Sweden (non live) albums:

Turns out he had 2 albums of sorts. One under Slim but that isn't on Spotify. But another one under Tommy Borgudd which was called "Funky Formela".

Forgot toothbrush. Have bought toothbrush

Fuel leak. Fuck.

[motorpunk]

Yesssss - getting dark and loads to do 

[motorpunk]

Road test! And even though this thing has fuck all chance of passing an MOT at home it’s actually road legal here in New Hampshire. Broken steering fixed, broken fuel lines fixed, broken brakes fixed, broken suspension fixed. We have no lights or horn or indicators because Rover, but it goes and stops and everything like a real car. Getting some very strange looks….
