Howard is referring to A.R. Pound, tel. 01462 892704. Speak to Fred, he has done several jobs for me over the years, on the TR and daily drivers, and I have always been pleased by the quality of work and very reasonable pricing. The place always looks a pickle but don't let that worry you! Tim

You should have given me a call Roger, could have met you there. Tim Many years ago on a night rally with my car club in Harpenden while I was driving down a very narrow lane a Muntjac leapt from one side to the other clean over my TR! They are phenomenal athletes, I regularly saw them leaping over the 6' chain link fence at the end of our garden. Tim

3M VHB double sided foam tape is designed for this application. Tim

Is that perhaps the voice of experience Roger? 😬

Members will be aware that Brian sadly passed away on 11th September. His funeral is to take place at 14.00 tomorrow, 27th September in Porlock.

I will be approaching 78 in September 2024 but hope to be fit enough to add another 10CR to my nine to date (if you include the 2003 exploratory trip). More likely it will depend on whether I can get ticket of leave and find a compatible co-driver. Tim

That's a thumbs up for the Group 4 rally Escort item from me as well. Very happy to have replaced the lower rubber coupling on my 4A column with one of these years ago. No play at all and no transmission of road shock to the steering wheel. I retained the upper rubber coupling, which probably assists in this regards or ].

OK Amy, will do. Thanks for your support. Tim

Thanks Amy. Can I book you in definitely for Sunday? Are you wanting help or advice for anything in particular or are you just wanting to be involved in the background? There will be a roving camera operator filming all the background cars and they will be filming chats amongst car owners and some short interviews with those attending. They will also take drone shots of the general vibe of the day. Tim

The production company, Clockwork Films, has just been in touch and apologised for the short notice. They have another 'tinker weekend' planned for 10/11 September at North London Garages G.T.A., Redburn Industrial Estate, 39 Woodall Road, Ponders End EN3 4LQ and are looking for a good turnout of classics to form a suitable background for the drone filming that is planned. It should be a fun day with members of other car clubs in attendance. Filming will take place on both Saturday and Sunday from 10.00 to 19.00 and anyone interested is asked to be there with their car by 09.30. Lunch will be provided, I am advised, at around 14.30. I plan to attend on Saturday 10th. If any other member plans to go could they please let me know asap and on which day, so I can let Clockwork Films know re catering. tim@timothyhunt.co.uk or PM me or text 07717 472115. I hope to see a good show of CT cars. Tim

Good advice. Fuel price is particularly high in Italy currently so would be good to refuel in Austria, Slovenia or Switzerland before crossing the border. (If appropriate depending on route of course). However, if your route in Italy takes you through Livigno be aware that it is a tax-free zone and petrol there is 20% less than anywhere else in the country. Of course try to avoid filling up at a motorway service station anywhere, in many countries these are the most expensive locations. as in the UK. Good luck to all entrants. Tim

I am disappointed to have seen no further posts on this thread since Don's of 4th March. I hope that any 10CR entrants planning to attend have had the courtesy to RSVP to this kind invitation and I look forward to seeing some crews in Lubenham tomorrow. Tim

Is that the NRC2054 mounting Roger? Tim

It was only 205 miles door to door return for me Wendy and, as they say, nowhere's far in a TR! Tim

Just back home from a great day out at the Lincs Aviation Museum. Several passes by a Lancaster and Spitfire of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight were added bonuses. Many thanks to Darren Sharp for organising the visit. Good turnout of various Triumph models. Tim

Crikey Darren, I'm not parking next to you!!

I should be there and am looking forward to the day very much.😀 TIM

+1 for Mike Papworth. A good C.T. supporter too.

Ben, do you mean Vicky could keep up or either of you could if Nuala's co-driver was at the wheel? Tim

It's so desperately sad Paul that you are never to receive a reply to this. Tim

5/16 or 9/16?

Indeed shocking news Dave. Nuala was always such an infectiously enthusiastic participant in Club activities. You may have noticed that on Monday she posted on the Forum in connection with filming next month in Enfield for an episode of a planned TV series which was to have featured work on her rally spitfire, alas now never to be. Hopefully she will get the chance to met her hero John Gretener, along with many other rally legends gone to that special stage in the sky. RIP Nuala

Is this for the Clockwork Films project Nuala, to be filmed at North London Garages G.T.A.? If so well done, I think you are the only CT member to have been contacted after expressing interest. Hope you have the chance to get a gentle plug in for the Club!

+1 for Mikalor type clamps
