Hi
i met Harry Sherrat last night out with the VETS, and he was driving the Usher Club CAR .. whilst its not his call he didn't Mick Usher would have any problem with lending us the car for the week of the RAI. Indeed he thought Mick would be only too delighted to have the car out there and be visible to folk along the route etc.
Its not as plush or as new as the Orwell car, or indeed the lovely car of Ciaran's and we possibly have enough vehicles at this stage but its another option should anything go against us ....
So i have Mick Usher's phone number for now and depending on how things go i can give him a call (or conveniently bump into him at the next Vets Race) and see what he would think ?

As a complete left field thought.......how much would it be to get a car 'wrapped' in branding? Good advertising for the club perhaps? We plan to drive our car until it eventually falls apart so not particularly concerned about resale value. Has the roof racks for bikes already. Part time team car perhaps after RAI 2015. Note this is a husband going on a solo run without consulting wife!!
Just a thought....

you're on your own there sunshine ;-)
I could only imagine the look on Mrs Ruane's face some morning when she notices the car outside ....
I would reckon that would be an opportunity for a Sponsor to get on-board as well as a STCC logo/branding and that would perhaps cover the costs etc. Whatever about the costs, how often would you reckoning the car would be available to club members ? we don't need these in the Vets Races (well not yet_ A great idea all the same ...

It can be done - but it's not cheap - let's not incur any extra expenses until we cover fuel, food (and beer money for after)
