    The Club is pulling together plans to hold a Triumph Autosolo on Sunday 23rd October at a tarmac surfaced location near to Chelmsford, Essex. The event will be aimed at driver skills and car control rather than out and out speed, therefore should be non damaging. The anticipated entry cost will be around £40, however due to venue hire etc. the Club will be exposing itself to a financial risk should not enough people enter the event. Not sure what an Autosolo entails? Find out more here: https://www.clubtriumph.co.uk/autosolos/ So my question to you all is would you participate or not? Please use the voting options at the top of the page. Thanks, Mike

    depending if you want original or not, mk1 or mk2 Mazda MX5 seats are a comfortable alternative

    As others have said, for obvious reasons the Club cannot officially condone or promote this or other unofficial events, but drive safely and have a good run. A few friends and I recently drove from Ipswich to Ness Point, up to Scarborough, accross to Weston Super Mare, down to Brighton and finally returning to Southend on Sea for a curry, all in 24hrs. Plenty of fun A-road driving, few if any speed limits exceeded and a fun time had by all!

    Dear All, We've been asked to check within the club to see if there is anyone within our region who could be interested in joining the MSUK's Club and Community Development Department where a vacancy exists for a Community Activator Manager The obvious connection is that as the role is primarily involved in working with clubs and regional associations, someone who is connected to that community with some experience of how it works would be an ideal candidate. The details of the role are on the MSUK's website here: https://www.motorsportuk.org/contact-us/careers/

    Mirrors

    mikeyb replied to Tam Sinclair's topic in Triumph Chat

    I have a set of chrome racing style bullet mirrors mounted on the doors of my Mk1 GT6. Although they are not the best for clear, wide rear visibity, they do look good. Not sure why the photo has uploaded hugely, sorry. I do have a spare pair, new and unused, that I would sell if you decided to go down that route.

    Hi Jim, as above, this is almost certainly down to the old rod accelerator linkages. I had exactly the same problem on my Mk3. The cure is to fit a throttle pedal and cable from a Mk4 Spitfire. Easy fix with just one small hole to be drilled in the bulkhead (firewall) I've not been over to the car shed yet since I saw you, but when I do I'll try and remember to take a few photos Best regards Mike

    Please find attached a set of regs for the event. They can also be downloaded from the registration site or our website at:- http://news.boundlessevents.uk Following on from last year, we will again be using standard guidelines on use of navigation styles, and the regs include details, so that everyone should be able to understand what they will get navigation wise, before they enter. Hopefully this will bring some new people out, who may have previously been put off. We will use the Sapphire Solutions Rally App to do all the timing, route checks and results. This means that crews will use their mobile phones to download the event details and this will give them notification of when they are approaching/at passage checks and time control locations. This facility means there is no requirement for any marshals or code boards out on the route, but we will most likely still have one or two controls manned.
