Do you run it that high all the time? Intrigued of Bromsgrove.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Nigel glad you liked my very ammeteur attempts both film and driving. the oil pressure is normally 50 at idle rising to 70 when properly underway. been that way whilst I’ve had it 4 years now !!

MilesA Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Just checked the records for my 3A as in the past I had an oil pressure problem. Mine is also 50 at idle (engine heated up) and a tad over 70 at 2000 rpm. I thought that was 'standard' rather than 'high'. Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted February 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Hi folks i have today added another of dads films for your enjoyment it’s corny and “of the time” and again I amazed at the circle of friends he moved in. As all those filmed were his mates. check out the narrative that goes with the film. Edited February 28, 2021 by Hamish Sp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Great stuff. Did I notice a white TR2/3 at 8:08 on the grid in the background, & possibly a red one with hardtop at 11:00. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rogerguzzi Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hello Hamish That was wonderful and life looked so much better then with less restrictions! I remember seeing the Ferrari Breadvan at Spa Classic about 3 years ago and being driven hard as it should be! I am hoping to go to the Spa 6 hours this year fingers crossed!!!!!

Hamish Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 it’s officially the weekend so this time its VSCC from 1973, and at the end of the year I was 10. vintage cars being used as they were designed and more. Driving tests, sprints, circuits and the Welsh trial. From toppling 750cc Austin to crashing 24000cc Bentley hope you enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barkerwilliams Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 A really lovely set of films. Life was so much simpler and richer then. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deggers Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Another gem from the archives Hamish. Entertaining commentary as always. (I've long suspected Vauxhall's ran cooler with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in the rad.) Cheers, Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted April 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hi it’s me again. this is only the second event of this years club championship (Sunday’s Curborough fig of 8) the first being goodwood on the Saturday. shaun in the full race dolly sprint did both. !! I suffered a miss fire on the first run but it cleared by the end of the first practice run. I changed dizzy cap and plug leads anyway as I took spares. first attempt at 2 cameras and not overly happy with the results. Don’t have equipment or software to do a proper job.

tim hunt Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I guess you are pretty fully occupied most of the time Hamish but don't you find the wildly oscillating speedo and, particularly tacho needles a bit distracting in your peripheral vision? I overhauled my instruments following Smiths recommendations in their 'Care of Instruments' guide and the transformation was remarkable - steady readings! Unfortunately the guide is 6MB so too big to attach here but if interested PM me your email address and I will send. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the Rev counter does bounce around a bit but not too distracting you get a feel for the revs even though it’s the top end 5k + but I’ll pm you for the info thanks H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
