A kit list

I thought I would be a good idea if people could jot down important items that are must have for the event. Things from legal requirements to "don't forget your toothbrush". An example is I think you need to have a gb sticker on you truck if you don't have it on your number plates. You have to have a warning triangle and you need to have a flouresant vest.

Loads of people are asking what I want for my birthday and I though this kinda stuff would plug a few gaps.


(staying neutral due to my multi vehicle household)

Beer and sausages, you can't go wrong....

or sausages and beer for breakfast

that reminds me , Chris you bring some beer and i will bring some sausages and beer, could you also bring some more beer and i will bring some sausages and beer, hope that makes sence!
Beer+sausages = breakfast /lunch & supper

Some folk just aint taking this rally seriously....!

Sausages take up valuable beer space!

Being as I am the one thing worse than a t-total Scotsman ie a t-total ex regular scots soldier. I find this line of answers not to be the most helpful. Although the sausages I will take into consideration as I do like a good link. By the way for those of you who are tripping over themselves for my beer ration it's already promised away.

Link...? Link..?!!!

Begone foul link.... get behind me damn banger....

Give me the luverly lorne!

Conveniently roll shaped... Now that's engineering!!

tea total scotsman mmmmmm , be carefull Bill might be watching this thread , he won't be happy you mixing them words.

OK, to get back to the initial subject of the thread, you can view the compulsory legal requirements for your vehicle (GB Stickers, Triangles etc) here:

Re SatNav (which is compulsory for 2011 entrants) it is illegal in some countries to have Speed Camera warnings installed.

A small Inverter is a useful item to have and they are not too expensive.

I also believe that the Organisers will put out a list of the Rally requirements soon. (ie. Documents that must be carried, First Aid Kit, Fire Extinguishers) If you haven't got these some of them are small and inexpensive enough for Birthday Pressies.

ye but be carefull last year Tim indicated we should all bring some palm trees , i carried my one all the way to the Eagles nest

Ahh another person who will be sober occasionally, good to know as I now cannot drink alcohol, or tea or coffee : (( also Stuart if I think of anything else that would be useful then I will let you know,


ps................. are you really t-total??

Keith wont be happy, i've given the game away......

That's it; more secrets revealed! What hope is there of any 'surprises' for the rally crews!

For info - the 'Scruntineering List' will be sent to all 2011 entrants next week. Although, I've just noticed sausages don't seem to appear on the list (at the moment!)

After the weekend, all the secrets are about to become open source.

Okay okay Nick. It's a deal - I'll make sure you don't finish 45th out of 45. Trust me

Are palm plants on the kit list again , i carried mine all the way to the eagles nest last year,,,it sits on the fire place next to the portrait of you know who.I'm sure that was a red herring by Tim who posted that pic of all the kit he was taking

Forgot to mention Neil - Does everyone know that your avatar pic of your 2011 truck & caravan was taken at the last campsite? The AA did a great job in getting you home.

And here was me thinking we saved Neil from having to drag it all the way back home when we had that bonfire ......
