All the way out of the garage or further?

Teams arrived in Leominster today, open paddock all day and a few cars drove through town this evening. Special stages at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb and Radnor Forest on Friday, returning to Leominster in the afternoon. Cars are then allowed to be trailered to Carlisle for stages in Kielder and around Lockerbie on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. A couple of local drivers involved, so went along to say hello, and have a good up close look at some of the cars we used to nearly freeze to death watching in the forests in “the olden days”. Gary

Hopefully Kev,weather permitting

I think Glen said it was in his dreams..then he woke up and he was in Chesterfield on the sofa

You've missed your vocation Andrew! I used to do a passingly good imitation of a Central Line train with all the compressor and motor control noises - until they put on new ones that don't make any interesting hisses and clonks! I do love the bark of the carbs at a couple of thousand revs I must say. You need to avoid that speed when drive-by sound checks are done though. Mine pops and bangs on the over-run when the silencer gets really hot on a track day - the idle settings on the carbs let just enough fuel through on closed throttles when running down to a bend. Loverly! Poor fuel injected chaps don't have any fun do they...

Pump pump pump etc etc... terr ... rrrrer ...brrrappppp!

Mcb is selling a jap rollbar , couple below this thread

Hasn't there been some digestion that he had that earlier in year! Or was it officially disproved under investigation ?

Totally agree, I'd make the b*******s work weekends too

I'm using a basic Ford ignition system that was used on early 1.6 Sierras, P100s, etc. It has a separate amplifier. There used to be loads on ebay for peanuts, but having just looked, none about now. It's worked fine for 15 years or so.. I recently had the distributor advance curve tweaked, but can't say I noticed much difference. If I was doing it again, I think I'd just go for one of the kits that swap the points out for a trigger mechanism.. I see Accuspark ones on ebay around the £35 mark?

Happy Birthday.

Just had a text to say the V5 is back....nice text to wake up to on my bday!! Can’t wait to pick it up now!!

Agree with AdgeC, retirement is great, although I do get annoyed at Bank Holidays. People should be at work on Mondays rather than enjoying themselves.

It is if you let Glen have his annual drive

Got to work Saturday, but should be OK for Sunday, as long as I don’t spend all afternoon scoffing icedcream!

Could well be up for this one with Miss Mo (if work again does not kick in). Grindleford... now there is a b/fast and a half!

@bollockybill and myself recently fitted an AccuSpark dizzy and coil to @John K 's Mr Grumpy. Must say we were impressed with the quality of the kit, and it works. No external amplifier to fit so it maintains the old skool look. We went for the non vacuum as Mr G. is fitted with twin 40's for the reason mentioned above. Think John is pretty happy with the running too.

I've posted this one before I think.. but this thread would be a nice place for it to live. Me in the passenger seat of a Slingsby Firefly.

2nd dibs on the mirrors if it doesn’t work out.
