Question to event organisers........is St Etienne du Rouvray in a ULEZ(LEZ) zone ???

There are not many hotels outside the boundary of Rouen

All over night accommodation for two car entries booked .....just a ferry to sort 

I`m sure this has been asked before...but what poundage radiator cap should be used on a 1500 ,wider radiator? I`ve been told three versions ...7, 13 and 15 pound

Yey, removal of parcel shelf , changing to reading specs, ripping holes in upper hand and much back ache....managed to slot the tube back on to the nozzle. Now replace parcel shelf .....tomorrow!!

Parcel shelf back in Tip. Because you have difficulty in aligning the two hole in the mill board with the two clips attached to the scuttle interior ( as its black and dark under there) stick two small white s/a labels on the two clips then a red marker dot on the label, you can then see through the millboard where the red dot is, then screw the self tapper through the millboard.

The issue I have is more to do with glasses slipping/falling off once I am inserted upside down into the dash.... Or the light moving and shining directly at me.

Exactly in every sense.....my main problem is when I`m upside down with legs on the back of the driver seat......then trying to get out ,and hopefully somebody listening to me ,,....shouting....Help!

Good luck 🤞

The only luck I need is the finding of an unspent match and a gallon of petrol...all laying to within arms reach!

The most awkward /painful thing to attach/reattach on a Spitfire MK3?......the driver side windscreen washer tube to spray nozzle in the scuttle.....and the two bolts/screws fixing the GRP tunnel cover to the scuttle ,just above the bell housing. Bent spine scraped knuckles and neck ache. Today`s task....to get all three , as the washer hose is dangling loose

Sounds painful 😆

Not half as pain-full as when the standard vertical link snaps and digs into tarmac. Twice was sufficient occasions to convince me to change to trunnion less

I'd have thought more frightening, but maybe you kept your eyes shut . . .

Took Mabel out for a pre Stoneleigh run ran beautifully  for a 7 mile drive then blew a big end half a mile from home,  limped her back to her garage and shut her away for the forseeable,  I did say in the area news in club torque that she would throw up an issue before Stoneleigh, she was meant to be on the stand.  I hate that car !! 

Sorry to hear that....but you will buy such old cars....😉

Anyone had problems with on line ticket purchase?

Entered qty of 2 in drop down box ....then it will not allow me to fill in contact details etc 

Sorted....stupid site builders.......oh no it isnt....still stupid

Excellent.

 

Was about to post this on behalf of a mate

I think poking something in the hole to release the knob is the way to go 👍🏻 Perhaps you need to press harder if the ratchet has seized 🤔 or apply a very small amount of light oil?

 

`Ratchet`only on heater. The light switch has a spring loaded button to hold it in place but the hex shaft and hole sometimes seize on. Just needs a 40 drops from the War Department.....(or in some cases a farriers hammer)

Well, the entry inquiries are trickling in and the event details nearly complete......the route in planning ,with lines being drawn and then rubbed out and redrawn .....but other than that all going well. We will order the sunshine in plenty of time.   

So you did, however I`m having terrible problems with my lap top, Its taken quite quite a while to find that. Arranging the Border Raiders ,  I`ve  found  things going awry.....forwarded a menu on mail this morning................and its disappeared. Bring back pencil/pare/carbon paper ......
