I bought my first TR4 when I was 20years old in 1972 for £125, (are you still out there 746 EHO, or possibly EHO 746?) it was sold two years later when I married. I then bought my current TR6 in 2008 at the age of 56 when I no longer had the burden of the reason for the sale of the "4".

I expect that is more to do with main stealers selling a new set of keys/locks for extortionate amounts of cash rather then any privacy/security issues!

I have often wondered if road transport, i.e. cars ,buses, lorries and the like, had developed alongside railways instead of almost 100 years later, whether the railways would have gone the same way as canals. With their difficulty in climbing anything steeper then a mole hill and the enormous amount of space they need to turn a corner, the sheer cost of the infrastructure is enormous. Don't get me wrong I like trains and train travel (not so much in this country!) and because the infrastructure is in place, they are very good at moving large amounts of goods over great distances albeit very e

Insurance= Legalised theft!

SORN is also a misleading figure. Some may be taken off of the road for reasons other then they are not working or repair i.e. If you don't insure a vehicle that has been taxed DVLA will come after you as they assume it is on the road, it doesn't matter if it's garaged or on private property and as Roger says tax applies to "historic" vehicles albeit at no cost ( something I have a feeling will change with our new Government!). So some cars may only be insured for the summer months.

Had a similar thing a about 7 or 8 years ago, turned out to be the rotor arm, a Lucas boxed Chinese affair, got a Distributor Doctor "red" one and all has been fine ever since. Just a thought.

I have used the heater and its fan facility in other vehicles as a temporary means of getting the engine temp down in slow traffic conditions on hot days, yes it's uncomfortable but it seemed to work, I'm not sure if the position of the heater in a TR6 would be of help in similar conditions. Just a thought.

But who owns WD40, this may please you Roger ,it used to be called the Rocket chemical co. of California USA who rebranded to WD40 sometime ago.

I contacted our PCC earlier this year when a friend needed to dispose of some kitchen knives and the only solution seemed to be the local recycling tip, however, there is no dedicated secure storage in these places so the knives just go in the scrap metal skip. Our local Police stations are rarely open for public access which was why I tried to bring the subject up with the PCC in view of the increase in knife crime, after a fortnight or so I received a standard reply email saying the powers that be are doing all they can about knife crime but not addressing the actual email I had sent. PCCs a

When I bought my "6" in 2008 it was fitted with 165 pirellis with a reasonable amount of tread (5-6mm), after an excursion through a hedge in the wet I fitted XASs' and it transformed the car. It isn't Lotus/Porsche capable but is very sure footed and worth the extra cost, my suspension set up is as standard with original rubber bushes and steel wheels, so the change to them is the only difference I have made and I would think any extra mods to suspension would improve it even more. I do drive quite "spiritedly" when I am alone.

Hi Guy, Rules are quite simple. Two cars, one in each direction, set off to collect the 8 rings from the top of the cones with the lance, There is then a short sprint (20mtre or so depending on space available) to the finish line. Points are awarded at 10 per ring collected but if the car comes to a standstill then only 5 points per ring are awarded. 20 points are then added to the first car to finish giving a potential score of 100 points. The course is adaptable to suit the space available but I am hoping to have something like 80 to 100 metres in which to operate. It is none damaging to t
