Hi All

Just a quick reminder that our next meeting is tomorrow evening (Wed 25th Oct) at the Falcon Inn in Woore from 7pm. Come along for a chat.

Hope to see some of you there.

Regards

Bruce

If I had £6k spare I would be buying it!

Good luck with the sale

Bruce

Jim

How about buying a big saloon or a Stag. Both comfortable to drive. At least that way your keeping it a Triumph.

Chris,

Put Katy and I down for next year.

Not sure what car we're using as I've a mind for selling the Spitfire.

Jim.

Sell the Spitfire?! NOOOOOO

I find the lights from modern cars coming towards me are worse, especially on our low down cars. I use night time glasses that filter the blue from the led lights. 

Danny

Hi Danny

The night time glasses sound a great idea. Are they prescription ones?

Bruce

LED headlights should be made illegal when fitted to classic  cars. I hate them and their alignment is rarely correct!

Now passed £68k

You could track the teams progress via the Live360 tracking app. The invite link was posted on the WhatsApp group.

The total has now just passed £65k

Bruce.You should by now be aware we don`t use their type of roads....and not going to Wales😉

But lots of English and Welsh families go to Scotland and the Border region for their hols.

The Friday travelling to the starting point will be horrendous. Take a picnic for the M6🤪

Are you aware that the revised date clashes with the start of the school summer holidays in England and Wales? The roads are going to be rammed.

I've plotted the route using Googlemymaps which will happily work on any Android phone. We used this system successfully on the 2021 event. The entire route fits into one file. In 2021 I spent a day sat out on our patio plotting the route whilst enjoying the sunshine and recovering from Covid.

Hi

Do we need to bring cash or will you have a card reader with you?

Bruce

More than 390k signatures as of this evening 

Blimey, that is a lot of bottles!!!!!!!

No Carter Bar control this time.

Replacement Diff, ouch your wallet will be feeling the pain ☹️

What's causing the noise Jim? Rear wheel bearing?

Hi All.

Better late than never, here is some of my dashcam footage from the Sunday morning

Selling your GT6 after such a long time must have taken a lot of soul searching. Good luck with the Dolly Sprint

Tim sorry what are "Fiamms" have I missed something or is this a typo? 

I was wondering the same thing!

Hi All

Can anyone suggest a classic car friendly garage within reasonable travelling distance of Oakham, Rutland?

A friend of mine has today bought a Spitfire Mark 4 and it requires a tune up etc.

Thanks

Bruce

5 litres will do the entire car including the underside and hardtop. Plus it will leave you a bit for future touchups.

Have fun.

Thats about or nearly right. However the MK3 is the rarest as they were the least made

Errrr the rarest ones these days are the Mark 1's. With the Mark 3's being the last built, a good number of them survive.

Hi Tim

If nobody nearer to Hitchen can help you out then give me a shout.

Regards

Bruce
