As a matter of interest what are the best tyres for hillclimb road going class this year? Am correct to think that we are able to use list 1b tyres?

Hi Ian, Re measured 140 - 180 Reference to handling, I believe it handles really well and I have never had any concerns, especially with the new LSD.

Sold subject to collection

Hi @snowy892 where are you measuring from? We normally measure from the bottom of the chassis rails (not the lowered floors if fitted). Mine is 140mm front and 165mm rear. It's normal to have a 20-30mm rake front to rear. It was this pic- that led to my question. Any reason it's this height? How does it handle like this? Sorry to detract from your for sale thread, however setting the car up correctly, should help with the sale.

Hi Ian, Ride height Front- 15cm Rear - 25 cm. Regards Richard

We'll be there Saturday and/or Sunday.

Does the fan run all the time or just cut in and out when it's tops up etc

I will be there on Saturday.

Pleased your joining again, should be a great season, plenty of venues to go to this year.

I realise this has sat for a few years, but any chance the box is still available?

We’re in and will be there on the Sunday

Maybe it can (battery supply) but dont know for how long. Maybe easier use loooong extension core? As for the voltage i have ended with sth like 8-9v supply for fan. Those fans in carcoon or car bubble seems to be normal computer PC fans. For in garage (no rain no snow no sun no frost ) use outdoor carcoon or any outdoor car bubble seems overprotetive. In garage maybe just normal cover would be enough. Maybe with small fan Inside doing constant small but constant air flow ?

Me and you. Maybe a few more reprobates.

For information - Cycle wings sold.

Lovely stuff @Murraymint and @Craigieboy and @Tim (Sideways) Johnson - Club Treasurer This year we'll be heading for a week in the Dordogne, including 2-night stays each way in the Loire. Using the tunnel on the way down and Caen-Portsmouth ferry on return. Already planning Almeria in southern Spain for '27!

WOW, just to get to the thermostat?!?!? I wonder how much they charge for that in an Audi service… BTW — I don’t know how it is in Audi, but some time ago I had to replace the thermostat in a Mazda 6. It was the new intelligent electronic type. Luckily it was still under warranty, but if not… guess the price for “saving the climate” with that intelligent thermostat (BTW, it landed in the trash after 2 years). That’s not exactly saving the planet, I suppose… It was around 600 GBP for the thermostat itself. In Mazda, I don’t think access to it is that ridiculous — at least from what I can see doing oil/spark.filters.brakes change - easier than in kitkars , those cars seem to be designed not to be destroyed during servicing… but I’m not entirely sure how about parts like thermostat... .

All part of the bigger plan..... to stop us tampering! AKA saving money.

Oh fantastic, can't beat a Euro trip Just remembering that I saw you returning last year travelling up the A1. I'm booked on the Newcastle ferry in June too, though not decided on a route yet. Done the Alps the past 4 years and although we enjoy it, I was thinking of possibly doing more of the Netherlands this year and along to Denmark. Should really get my finger out and do some research. Hope you have a great trip.

We take the ferry over to Rotterdam, then down to Lille, Evreux, Chambord, Saumur, we have a few days in each place and just do some smaller roads with the villages. We then travel back via Portsmouth.

Yeah, its a Q3 2.0tdi. We thiught it was either front end off or remove the intake manifold. We felt the front off was the less risky option for us

I can't tell from the picture, but I'm guessing Audi ? they have a rep for that

Helped my brother change the worlds most ridiculously placed thermostate

We’re attending the Laon Historique in May. First time in the Westfield, looking forward to packing light

Regarding the series(s) with nominated events, does one nominate prior to the first event entered or retrospectively?

Good move, hard to beat Westfielding sur le continent. We are heading over for a couple of weeks in July. Whereabouts are you heading?
