Earlier this month Satellite sponsored me and a mate to take part in an event called the ‘Round Britain Reliability Run’. The idea – first dreamed up by Club Triumph back in ‘66 – is to drive around Britain in an old Triumph following a 2000 mile course in 48 hours. All proceeds from the event, which is run every two years, are pledged to a charity and this year is was Bliss, the premature baby charity.

I’ve had an old 1967 GT6 [pictured above at John O'Groats] for a while and thought it would be a laugh… although it has to be said that some wondered whether it would get 20 miles, let alone 2000! We started the event along with 94 other Triumphs at 7pm on Friday the 6th, and finished 48 hours and 11 minutes later on the Sunday evening, the 7th car to return. We’d ‘checked in’ at 14 stops along the route, and besides the odd fuel crisis, didn’t have any mechanical problems which was great. [My Blog]

“ye of little faith” I say to the doubters!
(oh and thanks again to Satellite for the sponsorship!)
