rcreweread Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 First drive after an enforced one month lay off from driving as a result of Mr Astra Zeneca deciding to give my brain a pasting with a blood clot - very fortunately only minor damage and well on the way to a hoped for full recovery, but still very scary ( incidentally the guy in the next bed to me had a serious stroke within 24 hours of having the Modena vaccine - he was a fit 42 year old builder - you don't hear about clots from other vaccines in the media - I wonder why?) Driving the TR is wonderful medicine - apologies for the **** photographs - as you can see I'm no David Bailey - I tried to switch the sun off but it wouldn't oblige! In case you are interested and have a magnifying glass, the backdrop is Abberton Reservoir just south of Colchester. Take care everyone Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bfg Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Delighted to see you back in the driver's seat Rich. Regarding the photographs .. fantastic to see your superb car here ..and I think you might expect a cheque from Mr Tarmac for promoting his excellent road surfaces Pete ^ I wasn't planning to go out in my 4A this weekend.

Misfit Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Decided to have a run out, which was possible as a result of Hecklers help with ny poorly prop. A drive to Dartmoor, a coffee stop by a stream and a local Princetown Ice cream. Before making my way home via Holne Reservoir. Edited June 11, 2021 by Misfit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Forey Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Really good drive out yesterday with 3 other cars from the Leicestershire group. Down the Fosse Way and through the winding lanes to the National Trust - Hidcote Manor Garden. Followed by a stop in Chipping Camden for ice cream - a perfect day spent with good friends.

MilesA Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 No photo I am afraid, but yesterday was the first time I was able to fire up the 3A since its round England tour last September. Longest I have had a car laid up. I followed Mick's guidance on pre-starting engine lubrication to the letter. I then reconnected everything and hit the starter button. Took a while to 'catch' (Webers are a faff at the best of times) but once it caught, it settled down to an even idle straightaway. Took it on an Italian tune up on the A1M (between cameras) then back to north London. I had forgotten how well sorted the car now is having tracked down what cam it has (thanks to Tom Boyd of this parish), enabling Mark and Gerry at Enginuity to tune it so well before the trip last year. Best its been in 11 years. I have never had stale fuel problems, probably because the Webers gulp the stuff at such alarming rates there is no time for the car to misbehave. Yesterday was no exception. To counteract the understeer, I had that morning reversed the tyre pressures so that it runs higher pressure on the front wheels. Handling seemed better to. All in all, a really satisfying morning. Again, sorry about the absence of a photo but the A1M can't compete with all the glamorous places above. Just need to find time and space to visit a few such locations in the near future.... Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
