B Fitzpatrick Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 You b-----s get it good. All I got to do was shovel 2.3 tonnes of dirt into the trailer and then 30 minutes later shovel it out again at the dump site for $34.30. s But you were doing it in the sunshine littlejim - you can't have it every way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Short drive next village after a strange "tweet" from the engine yesterday evening. The fan belt was a minimum slack, every OK again, not too tight - and a nice drive at sundown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acaie Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 First thing down to the shop for today's paper and a bottle of milk. Later on around and about the parish to put up posters for the harvest festival. I promise to try harder next week to do something a bit more glamorous. Some years ago I got a bit fed up with all the crowds at Goodwood, also at Revival the paddock being closed to the hoi polloi. Not like the FOS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel A Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Caught the ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe and drove to Orléans. 202 miles. Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel A Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 After sampling the local brews in Orléans, we had a late start and drove to ANGOULÊME 220 miles. The T250 and Stag are performing faultlessly (probably shouldn’t have said that). Staying in the smallest Motel room I have ever seen, it is clean and comfortable and that is all we need. Here for the next 4 nights and hope to blag ourselves onto the Saturday rally which cost an eye watering €300 but does include lunch cooked by a Michelin starred Chef. Is anyone else in Angouleme at the moment who would like to meet up for a beer or 6! Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hamish Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Now that does look good and sound nice. Just love the look of those carbs. Could you run an ordinary Tr3 with 4 H2 carbs to similar effect ??? Edited September 16, 2018 by Hamish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) I put 15 miles on a 97% finished 2.5 Daimler V8 engined TR4 needing a few miles settling in prior to a bit more fettling. It was the dream of a friend who didnt quite manage to stay with us long enough to see it finished???? Edited September 16, 2018 by Drewmotty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drewmotty Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Thanks Hamish. Its a super smooth engine, pulls beautifully and supplies its own sublime soundtrack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Thanks Hamish. Its a super smooth engine, pulls beautifully and supplies its own sublime soundtrack. Yeah I know that sound track. I sold my SP250 to get my TR3a as I wanted to try motorsport in my own right ( my car not dads) I didnt want to risk the SP bodywork.

ianc Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Saturday and Sunday at Kop Hill with the Chiltern TRs - about 28 TRs, including MVC575. Two runs up the Hill on Sunday, with a fee-paying passenger in the morning (the money goes into the general fund-raising for the event) and a member of Chiltern TRs in the afternoon. Both runs were excellent, with the car holding 4500 in 3rd (3.7 axle) on the steepest part of the ascent. Graham Robson on start line commentary both days, joined by Wayne on Sunday afternoon. A cracking weekend in great company. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fisicx Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Friday to Sunday, 10 cars went to the Isle of Wight. Drove around a bit, ate food, drank beer and met up with Pinky. And it pushed my mileage for 2018 to just over 4000 miles. Edited September 17, 2018 by fisicx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
