    Here you go. An A type full throttle 4th to OD 4th at about 1.35 into this video great fun.
  3. Well done Rich. it was great coverage on YouTube with practice and a of couple great races. The Edwardian’s race was ace. more today if I can go missing from house and family responsibilities
  4. Quite a lot, he got his son to walk on water after all.
  5. Not since the Americans got hold of it and added Palm oils/fats
  6. It’s the info model history / changes and diagrams etc that I find interesting with the catalogues . i go to the web for prices. little point in comparing between the two from now on.
  7. If you didn’t need mobility assistance before you will after sorry Rich, couldn’t resist. have a great event everyone - one day I’ll make it - just as my mum and dad did back in the day - the first time round.
  8. I really don’t see this as being good news for all the comments above on competition, quality and future proofing. i know some see Rimmer as supplier of last resort but will moss now be forced to sink to the lowest common denominator? Even Revington is, I understand selling his spares business and couldnt see the 2023 sponsorship deal through to supplying the end of year awards sad after so many years support being the sole sponsor. fingers crossed that the smaller independents can capitalise on this.
  9. 81st members meeting will be live on YouTube this weekend Hopefully their link will work
  10. Kev these lads are into their solar and could I’m confident help you https://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/8737-living-off-grid/page/9/#comment-144150 ps the gazebo will be out for collection Monday.
  11. Oliver i know some of the folk who do the clubs speed championship use magnetic number backgrounds that my be of some use. perhaps demon tweeks or somewhere similar could help. biggest anti rattle on the tr3 bonnet is securing the bonnet stay tightening the hinge nut and a good securing rubber.
  12. Get that engine run in and enjoy.
  13. Well done cliff sorry you didn’t get the advice you were seeking. but now you know and can help,others. joining the clubs sprint championship with this car by any chance ?
  14. In light of johns BT problems I’d thought I’d share this scam caller number that I received today - it was a BT internet scan call I like to keep these people chatting ( on the basis that if they are talking to me they are not talking to someone “even more” vulnerable than me) before letting them know that my internet is provided via my employer - Greater Manchester Police they then seem to disappear - how rude.
  15. If you have or can borrow a tyre inflator eg a 12v emergency type you can try pressurising the fuel line from the engine bay fuel pump to the tank. Worked for me at a race meeting. Partial blockage issue turned out to be a small section of rubber pipe near rear axle joining the 2 metal pipes from the tank had deteriorated.
  16. This will be new to me- can’t wait……
  17. That’s great service and makes a change to put some service and parts suppliers in the good news column.
  18. On a modern car go for a Ghost security device and or a tracker https://www.trackershop-uk.com/ghost-immobiliser.html pleased to say my scorpion camper tracker was activated (by me) and I got a tel call from a real person and a text to say the van was on the move without the ignition on or fob in proximity. we were on the Oban ferry. very happy with the tracker company monitoring.
  19. Hope your day is going well John Happy Birthday
  20. If you do eBay it’s less than £40 delivered in 2-3days I've used pipercross before and it’s been fine.
  21. Rocketman the above is a good starting point for chokes and jets etc but a starting point, all cars seem different and rolling road time is needed imo to get things right i won’t share mine as it would just muddy the waters as I have 45’s on mine and it’s a slightly warmed up 89mm now. but I would say the SU’s are just wonderful on my last engine which was an old tuned 87mm setup with H6 and long later intake manifold they were set and forget. With about 120hp at the flywheel. i tried tinkering around at the edges to improve things and loved the look of the webers b
  22. Ha ha I wish …… was thinking of one of a road going TR Enterprises SLR with a nice race engine.
