Reform lead the polls

Correct.

If you can't understand the difference between a van kitted out as a workshop full of tools and spares and a car with a suitcase

So what, the team has given up now because it’s too much trouble for you to go out there for free? Pull the other one. Perhaps they are happy to pay good money for a stranger to spanner for them rather than sort out the paperwork for someone that’s been helping them for free for years. I bet that makes you feel valued!

Team: We'd like you to come and help us for free Carman.
Carman: Okay, sort my paperwork out for me when you’re doing your own and I’ll help you.
Team: Feck off, that’s for you to sort out.

Correct.

who said suitcase?

Why don't you 2 stop trying to tell me how easy it is when the facts prove you wrong.

I'm experienced at this stuff, not a beginner.

Brexit has made it VERY. DIFFICULT,

it appears to be beyond your ability. that is true.

Not so for others who just got on with it.

So what, the team has given up now because it’s too much trouble for you to go out there for free? Pull the other one.

I suspect he was cut from the team, because he couldn't find the part he needed.

If only he had a list of parts and checked them before travelling.

Clarkson seemed to find it very difficult.

The cheek of it, did you not tell them we have taken back our sovereignty and they must let you do as you please?

FWIW I subscribe to a couple of European truckers on YouTube, the logistics involved, not to mention the scenery, is interesting to follow. The border crossing process is far from simple, and that is for professionals crossing the channel on a regular basis.

It doesn't surprise me that your brain hurts.

Try taking a van full of spares and tools and equipment on a rally.

The paperwork before, during and after the event will make it hurt

So what, the team has given up now because it’s too much trouble for you to go out there for free

No. They still go. I don't take a van

? Pull the other one. Perhaps they are happy to pay good money for a stranger to spanner for them rather than sort out the paperwork for someone that’s been helping them for free for years. I bet that makes you feel valued!

Why would I expect them to know what's on MY. VAN ?

Team: We'd like you to come and help us for free Carman.

OK. Pay my ferry costs and fuel and I will give my time, for fun

Carman: Okay, sort my paperwork out for me when you’re doing your own and I’ll help you.

Why would I expect them to sort my van ?

Team: Feck off, that’s for you to sort out.

Correct

and yet managed.

So everyone seems to be in agreement that Brexit has made it very difficult. What are you all arguing about?

 

[Mottie]

No. They still go. I don't take a van

So who spanners for them now?

Why would I expect them to know what's on MY. VAN ?

Err, maybe you could tell them?

Why would I expect them to sort my van ?

Because you are working for them for free?

Strawman alert

who said suitcase?

Ok, I don't need clothes

it appears to be beyond your ability. that is true.

It's certainly beyond yours to understand

Not so for others who just got on with it.

And not 1 example youve quoted has shown me to be wrong, as I've highlighted from your links

I suspect he was cut from the team, because he couldn't find the part he needed.

Ha ha.

If only he had a list of parts and checked them before travelling.

Ok. Try this. List of parts, changes by the minute. Has to be prepared in advance. Listed, accurately, identifying marks, numbers, weights, colours etc.

Say 3 vans go with 3 cars. Each van is set up for 1 car. During the event only 1 van might be at my any service point, the other 2 leapfrog to the next service point. In between parts may be swapped van to van for specific needs at next service point.

And repeat and repeat.

At the end of the event every part and tools and other equipment has to go back to the correct van. With evidence of parts used, swapped (eg gearbox or suspension struts) and listed.

Check it all against the inventory and go home

So simple isn't it. Let's not take onto account buying or selling or giving parts away or from other teams to help them or keep our own cars in action.

YOU. HAVENT. GOT. A CLUE. But can tell me how simple it is

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Clarkson seemed to find it very difficult.

Exactly the point

 

[carmanmemoranda]

and yet managed.

Who said it can't be done ?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

So who spanners for them now?

Whoever they want or find or arrange

Err, maybe you could tell them?

I decide what's on my van. Nobody else me. I'm responsible for it

Because you are working for them for free?

Sometimes yes.

Now I don't do it, but sometimes still go out in a car for the fun and to help but without a mobile workshop.

Could you repair a rally car on an event without organisation?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

2 clueless idiots telling me how simple it is because of Brexit !
