Mally

Mint Imperial in the glove box.

I see, and understand perfectly. I've built a few* kitcars and things. Check out 'Mally's Stock Cars, Bikes, Life..... on here, when you have a few hours spare. Sorry don't know how to link it, but Google will find it. Yours is a very nice, clean example.

Whats the Stilsons doing on the tow ball?

and us lot.

You are @SiC AICMFP

Yes, cancelled Saturday meeting, ran Sunday afternoon instead. As said 3rd in w/y. Won trophy and a tyre. bust the rad, so gave the owner the tyre and he produced a new rad. Came around half way in another race and 2 non finishes. was going hard for 3rd place in last event and spun. Says they are hard work, steering very heavy. Was trying to pass the guy who owned it when he spun.

He is aware of the system, and probably capable of doing it, but it's often hard to keep the right direction. Yellow grade may help.

All quiet now. Grass season over for us. I came back early from holiday for the funeral. Black car is sold. We now have one Special and one Yaris ready to race, just seat needs adjustment. and stickers, or maybe a re panel. Another Yaris is half way built. Ste won a f/b raffle to race a Saloon Stock Car a while ago. This will take place at King Lynn this Saturday. They are very fast, crash a lot, go the 'wrong' way round for him. Never been in one. WCPGW. Oh, and I've got Covid, but should be fine* by then.

There is it seems a possibility that he was dead before he fell. Surveying a loft in a posh place and landed in a swimming pool below, lifeguard dragged him out. Time and Police/Coroner will establish the facts.

Serious one this. I've just had a phone call to say that my Nieces's husband, Brian has been killed at work today. Fell through a floor. He was a plumber by trade. But in general building last I heard. Used to help me often. Has 2 sons, both Married. We often looked after my niece in her younger years. Genuine good bloke.

By which time the 2K may be off the table.

I had a car I loved. Toyota Celica 1972 ish. Got massively front ended, not my fault but went 50/50. I still remember it from 40 years ago. But it taught me that at the end of the day, it's just metal. I'd take the cash.

I always used ep 80/90. Good enough for Pintos

Was unaware of this place. Thought I'd drop in on my way to Blackpool sometime. But at £10 each and no Seddons I'll probably give it a miss.

I have 2 pairs of coil spring compressors. Because I always use 3 compressors on any spring. I showed my son how to use them on the Yaris a couple of weeks ago. Put them in the van afterwards! My 75 failed the MOT today, broken front spring and a drop link. Where are the spring compressors? Err.

Be aware that if you do and it breaks down again the RAC will wash their hands of you. @warren t claimhas a truck though😀

That's me day after tomorrow. It'll be fine.

Thanks for caring. More alive than ever. Been busy getting to know the young lady. It's a strange, but very nice, experience. Off to Lincoln, Brayford Pool overnight today. Too many cars now. No room to function. May have to sell one. Forgot to mention, my other twin grandchildren have also been winning trophies in their car.

Holiday went well, another holiday soon, Racing has been uneventfull. Hannah still wins, Stephen rarely. Amelia does her own thing at her own speed. Started to build a third Yaris. However. This turned up. F600 Autograss Special. Bike engine, 600 Suzuki iirc. Plan is for Hannah and Stephen to share it eventually, Should be able to buy a twin car trailer and tow Yaris and Special whilst still under the weight limits. Had a practise today. Accelerator cable broke (Tandem bike cable). we had a spare, but at home in the garage! Pedals need moving for comfort and maybe need thicker cable on accelerator. Future updates may come along soon.

I used a Minor for a couple of years. You need something with a ready parts supply. Rover 75 at the moment. Not quite a Classic, but much more refined. Cheap enough to throw away if you buy the right one.

Put the number on here. Someone will know.

He didn't say it was a Yaris. When you can understand hairnet speech, understanding Shadow speech becomes easy.

Many will say fix it. I am not one of those. Fix it if you love it. Otherwise flog it on here for scrap value and cut your losses.

This was mine. 2.0 Pinto . It had a Granada servo. One day the battery was flat and I pushed it to the top of a steep hill. It didn't start and the brakes were useless. At the last minute it fired and stopped just short of a major road. Early ones used bolt threads as door hinges, Later ones a steel bush. If you didn't oil them the door opened leaving the aluminium hinge panel detached from the frame. I'd have another

No, that was Ginetta GRS. Well put together but they didn't sell many. Wrong doner imo. I had an NCF diamond, Mk 4 Cortina based. Loved it, but lost a lot of money when selling it on.
