Is the red "number of chairmans posts" and the blue "number of sensible chairmans posts"?

In recent months I have managed to secure and purchase a 1973 sporting trials car... its a rare beast that is running in the HSCC / Historic Sporting Trials Car Association Championship. If there is any interest I would gladly share some pics and my experiences trying master the dark arts of trickling and blasting....

Seems more interesting than the rest of the mundane car park, although I was nervous all day and the day couldnt end quick enough

and one of me driving it in 1993

I think i have a spare trigger wheel as well will check at the same time most likely be the weekend as I'm away working

I have spoken to John Williams ( Comp Sec) who would like all people who have entered the early season events at Rockingham and Anglesey, Hethel to send him a PM so he can issue your cards before the 26th March 2017

MHR Robin :-)

Thanks everyone, don't feel a day over 53. Sorry @Julie (One Careful Lady Owner) - Peak District AO, no cake, but maybe a Full English.

It's called the Belgian Monk. Good hearty food!

Blue = number of times the factory said they had stock but didn't

Sunday to Monday for me

Oh brill, it's Robin's birthday and we are seeing him on Sunday, that must be a good excuse for cake Happy birthday, from Glen and Julie

I can't go to work in mine as I car share with 2 others, so one would have to hang on to the roll bar and there's so many bits from work on it I probably wouldn't have a job by the end of the day!

I used to love the Cat before all the cameras in fact I taught my daughter to drive up the cat when she was still on L plates in the snow. Evil dad but she is the only one of my children I would trust in the Westie.

Ah the C & F. That brings back memories. I had my first "off" up there on a Saturday night many moons ago . Good to hear you got sorted quickly.

Happy Birthday Robin Have a good one!

Managed to get an hour out in the sun with the car this afternoon. Filled up with fuel and a steady blat over the C&F and the Cloud. Felt so much better with both pairs of TBs working together!! And great to be out in it again.

Red: the number of times the black helicopters have been launched, blue: the number of times I managed to escape. Must learn to hide better before making smart comments.

Only time I washed mine since 2015 is after a spin at Mallory Park and even then I didn't get all the mud off

i know... because a cheated WOW!!!

I can feel my hand reaching for my executive order pen...

Happy birthday Robin.

Happy birthday Robin

Nowhere near enough red and way too much blue in the pre chairman days!

Happy Birthday Robin!

Ah, I was going to add, if it's just fittings, T7 Design are excellent. I've had loads of stuff from them over the years, from vents to blowers, control cables, ducting etc. in fact, the only thing I haven't had from them, is their actual heater units, though I know people that do use them, and rate them highly. The quality of everything I've had/seen from them has been top notch.

I don't know if they supply westfield but t7design sell lots of heaters and heater related parts. http://www.t7design.co.uk/index.php/

Have a great day Robin !!

I'll try and pull together some of our Alps footage from last year if that helps Trevor

Camera mounted on phoney f1 BRM for film "Grand Prix" . James Garner using Ferrari driver Chris Amon's helmet colour . Amon drove the Ford GT40 camera car used to tow the phoney F1 drivers around the track and film them in close up , he took a delight in scaring the krap out of the cast .

Hi Bob Just joined the club is the car still for sale - i didn't spot a sold sign Regards

10mm would be about right - I think that's what I removed on mine but it may depend on the brand of track rod end (TRE) - some are slightly longer (or shorter) than others ! A fairly crude but reasonably accurate way is to undo the extender on both sides, align the front wheels to be parallel to the rears (see explanation later), centralise the steering and then rest the steering arm extenders against the TRE's to see if you need to take any more metal off. You can check if it's safe by measuring the depth of the thread in the TRE and the thread depth of the extender - as long as there's enough depth spare in the TRE to allow the extenders to fully tighten up it will be ok. Now, to get the tracking pretty close (or at least neutral) I use thin nylon cord - if you get some in a bright colour it makes it easier see. Then basically wrap the cord around the tyres (just missing the wheel arches at the rear) so that the cord is lying across the surface of each tyre (use some tape to hold it there) - at the front you can then see how much to adjust them in or out to get them parallel with the rears - I know a racing car manufacturer that would do this and allow a mm or two for toe in/out using this method and when tested with proper kit it was pretty spot on (though that was before the days of lasers / mirrors and digital displays )

Gents i work for LG display division. I may be able to get my hands on a very large screen. PM me if you are interested. Ian
