danthecapriman Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Because you will die when squished between a Farina and a P5I think that’s a very real danger in any of the cars eligible for these classic meets given the state of most of them!Some may aswell be made of tin foil!

Junkman Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Imperials will outlast any other car.They have long since been banned in America and it didn't take long for them to be banned once they made the scene in the UK. danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 I think they’re banned at the Emmen track too in the Netherlands. They do not bend! They are indestructible. It's not really funny to watch them being raced. danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 This thread requires some serious bumpage. Is there really no interest on part of the MM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Sorry, I intended to bump the thread! This is a fun event, and most definitely worth attending even if you're not into racing as such. Come see what happens to cars in-between 'dragged out of garden they were dumped in 30 years ago' and 'baler'.

panhard65 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Is there a site to book tickets as I am thinking about coming up for this and treating my other half to a weekend away. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mally Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I wouldn't worry about pre book, might save a couple of quid but that's all.You won't be turned away even if they stack you on other peoples heads.There is good viewing all round, Grandstand is very old but functional, and good view from inside,You can pay extra to park in the Stadium with track side view from your car, but you would need to be very early.If I find the pre book I'll post it here, but it may have finished now.This place is very close to the track. https://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/179/Stoke-Talke-hotel?rooms%5B0%5D%5BroomId%5D=plu1fzayr5t5ev&rooms%5B0%5D%5Badults%5D=1&rooms%5B0%5D%5Bchildren%5D=0&rooms%5B0%5D%5Bextras%5D%5B0%5D=&lozenges=&strikeThroughShown=0 Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I believe there'll be a guy there racing a Datsun 120Y, I'd quite like to see some photos of that one please. Came up for sale on eBay and certainly looked rather rusty. He had a smart 140J there last year. I'll be at Mildenhall tomorrow evening. With two lots of bangers plus saloon stocks it should be a decent meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panhard65 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yay the other half is up for a weekend away so I will be there. What car I am in I don't know yet. I would like to bring the hearse but I doubt the engine will be finished by then so it will either be the Porsche or the 806. Conrad D.

primeradoner Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Just about to head off to my unit to spend another tedious day trying to get our POS finished for Saturday. With a bit of luck we may have a clutch pedal and enough brakes to avoid running anyone over in the pits. These old cars are a complete PITA and this is definitely the last one I will be building. (Although I have been saying that for years) Hopefully I will report back with better news later. Junkman and Mally 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primeradoner Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I can now report that our car starts,drives and stops but it doesn't do any of them very well. Hoping to have a final tinker on Friday before loading up for a 9.00am start on Saturday. See you all there. Junkman and Squire_Dawson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
