TorontoTim Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I was sorry to see that Tony had to retire - anyone know what happened? Tony? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hi Tim, from Tony's brief phone comments this morning, sounded like a couple of hairy moments had overloaded the rear axle and finally the half shaft cried enough . . . . . Need I add that he was going brilliantly until then . . . . . Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tr4Tony Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yep .... Bag of small parts in the casing. And a serious sense of humour failure for me as we were flying and Beastie was on song. I should think that a high speed spin in the welsh lanes on Friday night (after a 'not as map' 90 left) after which we broadsided for about 100 feet in a shower of turf, tyre smoke and brown trousers probably gave the diff a heavy scare. We were cool with it of course .... :--) Great result for Team Triumph though, and also hats off also to Jonathan Hancox and Richard Lambley for a well measured, rapid and pretty much faultless 4th overall and class win, Graham for bringing his red 4 home well up there and 2nd I/C and Mike and Lorna Harrison for the 3rd I/C in their TR3a, even after a little mod to the front in the lanes. The other TRs were also very quick and reliable and it was great to see VRW221 out competing on what the FIA observer said was one if the most competitive non special stage event he had ever attended, with some of the most talented crews in historic rallying. And I don't think he was talking about the 911's and Escorts, which frankly we had nailed between us on most of the tests. Great event, but the 13th ROTT wasn't so lucky for Rob and I. Next up the 20th LEJog .... Happy days. Regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Tony Bugger it must have been on it's way out ,or past it's sell by date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 100 feet of tyre smoke and turf shower ? That sounds like broadsiding along the edge of the tarmac, digging into the turf on chunky rubber, that's enough shock loading to beat hell out of even a good TR diff, it's not an Atlas axle !

Alec Pringle Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Neil, if you can convert/camouflage an Atlas axle sufficiently well as to convince the scrutineers that it was made by Old Stan Part, then you'll deserve a CDM ! Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
