  1. Head's up! - Entry will be opening very soon for the first competitve event of the New Year - the EWR.  This will take place on Sunday 28th January 2024.   

    The route will cover around 80 miles of easy driving on tarmac roads, through the beautiful Essex countryside with an expectation of taking around 4 hours. The emphasis will be on map reading and navigational skills, rather than speed.

    There is also a social element to the event with optional opportunities for tea / coffee / breakfast at the start and Sunday Lunch at the finish.

    Watch out for more info soon!

    If you wish to participate in club events, many will require that you are a club member too before you can enter 

    😊

     

    Having been asked the question before - this isn't just about benefits for paid up members - an elementClub Event insurance is provided by our Governing Body MsUK.  For the majority of our events, as a minimum, the main entrant has to be a bona fide Club Member in order to be covered. 

  3. This is a great event that has seen many CT crews travelling over to The Netherlands to participate in.  Navigation is via tulip diagrams and although mildly competitive, the emphasis is on the social side with some driving fun.  Entrants can just drive the route if they prefer.  No special preparation is needed, road cars are fine and the drive is on metalled roads, although we have been known to divert down an occasional farm track on more than one occasion!  If you fancy giving it a go, ping the guys a message! 

  4. Dear (former) Nachtrit drivers,

    The nice weather has finally started and the time has come to make nice trips by car. One of the best rides of the year for us is LTV's Nachtrit.

    We have now started the first preparations for the 2023 night ride. The date is also set for October 28, so put it in your agenda. As usual, the ride will be approximately 250 km long, crossing several countries.

    Last year there were really too few participants to maintain a healthy financial basis to continue organizing this event. To get an idea of what the approximate number of participants can be, we ask you to indicate by reply to this email whether you intend to participate. This is to be able to make an estimate and is not an obligation. So spread the word and get others excited to join too!!

    Regards,

    The organization of the LTV Nachtrit

  5. Yep I have one identical.  Some sumps, gearboxes, diffs etc have fill/drain plugs that have a square recess in them, needing a square peg key to undo etc.  The draper one fits a variety of sizes.  If you were very lucky and had a half inch or 3/8 one, a ratchet/extension would do the same job!
