  1. No photos till I've painted it again, videod it at slightly illegal speeds though, and had recorded a barmy speed, with more still to come pre-blow up (obviously on a private test track ;) ).

     

    Rob.

     

    Rob I thought your private test track was the A38

    :D

  2. Noel, You can write to the DVLA and ask for a copy of the Keeper history of the car. I think it costs £ 5-00.

    They will send a you a copy of the details they have on microfilm.

    :lol:

  3. Hi Peter, Other venues to look at would be Belvior Castle, Caulk Abbey, or Thoresby Hall.

    Have a word with Ian Viles, Trent Group Leader, I know he has investigated some of them and we had a visit to Caulk Abbey the other year who made us very welcome and designated a seperate car park for the cars.

    :lol:

  4. Eli, Have you checked your radiator cap ? My 6 always used to leak when the car was facing downhill, seems the thin rubber seal on the rad cap was missing. Changed to a new cap and no leaks thereafter. Funnily enough, my girlfriend lives on a hilll as well.

    I run Pirelli P6000 195 x 65 tyres and find them excellent, about £ 50 each

    :D

  5. If you do not already have it download windows photo resizer, its free. go into my pictures, right click on the pic you want and resize it to 300 x 240

    then when you post, click on browse, select the pic you want to attach and click on add this attachment :D

  6. Brian, Not long ago I picked up a door mirror to try and match the one on the drivers door, It was matt black and had been coated on top of stainless steel. As for bullet mirrors I find them useless and have changed over to rectangular on both cars

     

    :D

  7. Hi Jean, beg to differ with you on this one. I find that the A type overdrive on both my TR4 & TR5 are smoother than the J type was on my TR6. I always engage the overdrive under acceleration and dis engage on overrun

    but never use the clutch. If I engage the overdrive on the TR5 whilst not under acceleration it does give a kick

    so I go for the smoothest way

    :D

  8. I've heard of a Mountain bike, but a Mounting bike is new to me - what do you do, give it one ? Or does it have some padded accessory for 'er indoors to lean on ?

     

    Cheers,

     

    Alec

     

    Nice one Alec, I must admit that similar thoughts passed through my mind when I read Harry's post.

    :D

  9. Michael, look at www.screwfixdirect .co.uk. go to power tools and then click on generators, they do a wolf 720watt for 69.99

    :D

     

    p.s.. wish I could get £ 15k plus for building a single garage.

  10. According to Bill Piggot's book Original Triumph some North American distributors got a live axle TR4A for their specific market ( see page 12 of the book )

    :D

     

    The details have now been revised to manual gearbox

  11. Hi Laurent,

    I bought my TR6 from Richard Larter who runs Balfron Sports Cars 01360 440921.

    He is situated in Balfron about 20 miles north of Glasgow and close to Loch Lomond

    He knows Triumphs quite well and is the Scottish Group Co-ordinator for the TR Register.

    If you get into any problems I feel sure he would be pleased to help

    Have an enjoyable trip

    :D

  12. Seems a bit underpowered for Oily!

    Still, if Daryl settled for 230bhp there's probably a good reason - cost, reliability, tractability or combination of all three.

     

    Its alright having 240-260 bhp under your right foot, but its stopping it that could be the problem

    :blink:
