So, we will have to have several cars, each matching TG's colours, that way is the only way to guarantee being up front at any WRA... :)

Nope - atm you only need two. Cosmos Blue and Black.
The reality though is you only need one because the old goat has already posted that
- he won't be changing the colour of TRD2
- the Purple Helmet will be out front
So it's a no-brainer.
Next time, the colours should be in reverse order. HM & Chris in the last row. ;)
Tbh, I don't care. Either way - I win. :th:

Or convoy to 17 Hanover Square, London W1 (their HQ). Call the press and drive round and round till they get the certificate to you!

Or hold WRA 3 there! :cheeky:

Well Rhon i give up everything was done by there guidelines,all paperwork sent of, looks like they are blanking us because we decided not to cough up the £2k,even Robx has tries contacting them and failed.I reckon we should have a mass convoy go up there and demand our record,and not leave untill we get it. :ranting1:

Ok, I've done all I could had journalists contact them, including an ex BBC journo.
The way they have treate this is disgusting, only thing left to do is flame them in the press.
I'll hold off of that for now. Sorry I haven't been able to get a result guys.

FAQ 2
Once you have received the guidelines you can attempt the record and collect all the evidence as indicated in the guidelines and in the Records Breakers Pack. You can send the evidence to our office in London, where we will be able to verify it within 6 weeks and send you a certificate to commemorate the achievement, if the verification is satisfactory.


If you send to us evidence of a record you have not applied for, we will not be able to process it.
The $64,000 question is did we comply 100% with their guidelines or was something omitted? Is there a problem with the verification or have they simply not done it? If the latter, then they may have broken their own rules - will soon be 6 months, not six weeks!

Rob, it will cost £1 to get the name of the CEO of Guinness World Records Ltd from Companies House. A suitably worded letter of complaint to the top dog (send it recorded delivery) might produce a response.

If that channel doesn't work then the only option is some negative publicity.
