yes.

to just use an excerpt from the run sheet....................

to put it perspective, group 2 is already on Reserve Rd, the next instruction read:
continue right, through roundabout, onto Reserve Rd

said roundabout only had 2 useable exits, one that veered right, continuing on Reserve Rd, the other useable one took you back the way you came into the roundabout....................Group 2 leader (who shall remain nameless for now :lol: ) took the exit that ended 50 feet in at the base of a dirty great tree, ensuring that group 2 (except for the very observant tail end charlie) perform the 3rd U-turn in an hour, which the group 2 leader insisted was only HALF a U-turn & pleaded with the run organiser to take this one on his behalf to make him look better :lol:

his flimsy proof for this was that the instruction read : continue right through roundabout
thin group leader, VERY thin :P



how painful are we gunna make this darbs? :mrgreen:

I didn't mind this diversion however...

It put me in the hot seat right behind the Lambo for a while. 8) I could listen to that thing all day long :D

A great run and great company again as always!

For the record:
Wants to lead! Wants to lead??? When Heckle dropped me in it 5 mins before departure, I did NOT want to lead.

There's a reason why the "Jules Twin Creek Blast" only uses 2 main roads!
And Heckle, I thought you said you were going to leave me alone for a day and go off and taunt Casey's about his grapes a bit longer??

:D


That wasn't a U Turn it was a carefully planned Lap of a Roundabout so we could all hear the musical tones of the Lambo as it throtteld off into the roundabout 8)

I'll get a bit concerned if you start calling him Julesy though...

the run sheet odo readings you mean??.............well, yes, you'd have to say so wouldn't you?.......as group one had no trouble......me??..........i can't say for sure, considering that just 150 metres into the run our odos were in error by 2.2 kilometres :lol:


Gold, AJ, simply gold.

BTW. I have discovered that you can reset the NB trip computer to whatever 'commencement' kilometres you want. It's a bit tricky, but with practice it's a breeze. Here's how:

    (A) Set the second 'trip' metre to zero (this assumes you aren't using it for secondary purposes on this run).
    (B) Take a note of the actual odometer (the number of K's the car has travelled - THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!)
    (C) Subtract A (above) from B (above) - this should not be difficult for those who passed 3rd year maths.
    (D) Turn on the car radio, and press the SEARCH button, whilst simultaneously pushing the FF button on the CD, until the number (that matches the difference between A & B appears (sometimes this will require 2 or 3 goes). NOTE: It doesn't matter what station is selected 612 works ok for me, but I know other that only use FM stations - either will do)
    (D) Press the first trip meter button 3-times - HOLD - then 1-time more (if you miss that last bit, then you will have to start the whole thing over again).
    (E) The trip meter should now show the correct kilometerage, less the kilometres you have actually travelled.

Hope this helps the next time you have to follows Jules.

was there a run somewhere?
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.
