The NLG joined forces with Lea Valley and drove cross country to Long Melford, Suffolk and the National Trust property, Melford Hall. 170 mile round trip for most of the NLG. Lots of other classics on the road (but we couldn't match Sue's count
)

Another vote for the club (TRR) scheme. Multi-car policy, competitive on renewal, again, and, worth more than diamonds, the ability to drive other members cars insured on the TRR scheme. Brilliant for touring and club events where you are sharing a car with a mate. Used it for years, very good service, recommended !

I'm always logged in and visit most nights, haven't had to log (back) in for over a year, so maybe not affecting everybody ?

Just joining in here, another vote for K&N. Photo shows LNK when she was on SU's (before the Weber's). Very pleased with them and the Weber's are also K&N, why wouldn't you !

Bought a Racetorations alloy rad for my TR4 (fire sale on a discontinued project), super quality and nice to have something to polish. However, I can confirm that, when fitted to LNK, there was no measurable cooling improvement over my original Stanpart item. For me, the biggest improvement come from fitting a Revotec Comex fan, biggest, highest air flow I could fit on the TR4 rad (12''). Fit a standard rad but upgrade your fan was my experience BUT, we all like a bit of bling

LNK has Lamp bar at the front (see profile photo), always a good call and suits the 'no bumper' look. Custom panel on the rear
-
MX5, Sep Head Rests, work really well in any TR and can be trimmed to suit. VERY important to trial drive a members car with the seat of your choice already fitted, try before you buy. Agree John M's comments, last year coming back from Sicily, did 3 back to back tour days averaging over 400 miles per day

Hi Jerry
Just opened up from a cold start on the PC. No such request ?
Here I am

LNK is a TR4 on twin 45 webers and a hot cam. During a recent trip to Italy (39 degs in Monza) and stuck in traffic I had to change plugs four times over a three day period due to Italian traffic management in and out of the circuit. Only option I had was a good go with the wire brush and then a final emery cloth polish. the original set went through the car three times, never lost a plug........but to be fair, both sets were less than 2000/3000 miles (NGK) after a mid year service

Can attest to moby's poke. She chased us up the gross glokner pass in the 10CR and acquitted herself well. For the record we were in my supercharged tr6. We didn't have to change down below 4th on the climb. Great torque. But then we also destroyed a set of ujs on the driveshafts.
Tim
For anybody interested, MOBY is for sale, please see classified. Thank you

+1 for Stuart's comment. Moby, my RBRR/10CR saloon has a TR6 block +40, with the 2500S head (with extra gas flow and valve work) and the CW Cam. HS6 carbs. Very nice road car, drive away from a standard PI set up IMHO

Personally, I would never buy an IRS TR.

+1, done a lot of miles in mine and some in the company of IRS cars, no contest.
The older 'live' car takes takes a licking and keeps on ticking (with apologies to Timex)

Couple of thoughts, if they are after YOUR car (vin/ model type) then they have to know where it is. So, most likely at home in your garage, they'll drag it out with a truck
However, if at a show, IWE etc, then it's an opportunist looking to steal a TR, and all you have to do is make yours harder to steal than the next guys TR
Finally, if you're away touring, nobody knows you're there, you're probably OK. The local guys are after a modern golf or similar and would not know what to do with a 50/60yr old car................I've parked LNK all over Europe, no problem
...........and remember some days even the owners can't start them
Ps. In your local group ask about car theft. In the North London Group, only one car stolen in the last 20 years, from a car show, driven out, it was parked oof down, doors locked but no anti theft devices (and finally, make sure you have agreed value)

Hi Richard,
well done for taking part. I'll see you at the entrance gate at Knebworth house as I will be marshaling there.
Take it safely - it is not a race.
Roger
Roger
Thanks for Marshalling
I'll be there with Alistair in Moby, our Mk2 Saloon, our 7th RBRR
Good luck to all the teams taking part, Safety first and get round safely

Never a good idea IMHO. Blipping the throttle gives a rich squirt of petrol into the cylinder that washes oil off the bores, so next time you start there is less residual lubrication.
+1 Its was a thing in the '80's outside the girlfriends house
, but in the real world not a good idea. Anti social, uses more fuel, promotes engine wear, not recommended

I have always used insulation tape and a blade to trim, both already in the tool box. The area to tape is marked in the lens (Halogen H4 conversion ) and as above, it is to the right of the lens in direction of travel, to the left as you look at it, photo attached

I Had a similar problem and had the tank out as I was fishing out the last of the rubber 'blobs' after the old fuel lines and the rubber tank to deck hose got eaten by E5/E10 etc. Hoses are all R9 now and Moss had a deal on TR6 pattern mild steel tanks (they are all the same size, just different holes for PI Vs carbs). That was 7 years ago, still going strong. Original design and material
