In August (19th - 21st) I'm hoping to join the company behind Bangers & Cash to do some filming of my nearly finished Spitfire Rally Car for a program they hope to broadcast. My problem is I'm from Cumbria & filming will be in Enfield, London and I'll be without the use of car for the duration. Can any here recommend any affordable hotels, B&B.s or AirBnB or house sit possibilities that might be local or have convenient Public Transport access to an EN3 post code. Thanks Nuala

Nice photo of Alex Pegley & write up in recent MND Magazine

Aw no! Paul was a true gent, a huge character … I’ll miss him & his “Bulldog” waistcoat. Sad news indeed.

Website shop page doesn't seem to have been updated! - Anyway it's 09:20 on Saturday 19th ... & I'm trying to enter!! Be good to know if delay is to be minutes, hours or days... Maybe make an announcement that entry will open: Give Time & Date ?

Talk about a LeMans start .... I was half way down the Mulsanne straight before I even put my seat belt on. .... I may need to edit the bits I guessed about!

As you say, people want to see something tangible and want to salve their conscience. But the Club has neither the time nor resources to administer a separate scheme so it seems clear that along with raising money for the nominated charity we should consider also partnering with a national conservation charity. We are a national club, with events that cover much of the country ( so as much as I'd love to see us rewild part of the former Canley site ) I think perhaps supporting The National Forest or Woodland Trust would come close to meeting members expectations. 2000 trees for 2000 miles! I disagree with you that it can be achieved without increasing the cost or impacting the charitable donations ... ultimately it is the event participants that create the environmental impact.... "The user pays" ... at whatever the calculated rate of offset is deemed appropriate I believe the entrants to events should be the ones that pay & not the general membership. Are our numbers sufficient to make One Tree / One Event Mile an achievable goal?? ... the funding of such to be paid to The Woodland Trust to plant within The National Forest ??

Does anyone have a surplus threaded bar or extra long bolt ( with nuts ) ( now now keep it clean ) that I could buy / acquire..... I'm trying to find a way to press out the bushes from a couple of diffs I hope to have redone. Nuala

Would you care to suggest that "the certain Triumph collector who sells parts near Coventry" ... considers getting his fat or slim arse down to Monte Carlo! See below 1960 RMC ... Herald Coupe Triumph Herald - Rally Monte Carlo

Whose was this Triumph Herald on the 1961 Monte Carlo Rally? Monte Classique & Monte Heritage runs due to visit the same venue ( Ye Olde Bell - Barnby Moor ) again in 2022. Are there are intrepid Herald drivers brave enough to take on the challenge? High Lights of UK leg include alternative starts at either Blythswood Square, Glasgow, or Woodcote Park, London ( Respective RAC Headquarters ) with a reception for the northern starters at Banbury enroute south. Monte roads down through France to join other cars starting their journey to Monaco from Valence & a full day following in the tyre tracks of the Historique Rally cars on several stages. Finishing of course in the warmth of the Cote d' Azure. .... Go on - you know you want to!

Bump bump --- still looking

Picking up a project I started in Lock Down One .... planning a slow route ( None Motorway ) from The Lizard to Dunnet Head ... I'm still trying to finesse the bits that wriggle between the conurbations. Are there any Midlands based members able to plan a nice route from Henley in Arden to Fillongley? suggested routes via .gpx file much appreciated. My faith in Tomtom is not what it used to be - those with local knowledge often choose other routes.

Anyone fancy this next year? https://acm.mc/en/edition/rallye-monte-carlo-classique-2022/competitor-area/official-documents/

Are there any CT Road Rally navigators out there. I've an entry on this years Tour of Cheshire but my usual navigator is unavailable. The event is a round of HRCR Clubmans Championship and any willing navigator will need a MSUK Competition Licence & need experience of plot & bash and regularity timing. Don't worry if you're a novice or a bit rusty - I'm happy to have a run out - we don't need to be super competitive .... but you do need to know what you are doing as it isn't the best event on which to learn new skills. I hope to be using my GT6 MKII Nuala
