  1. Have a moment of relaxation in preparation for Saturday here (thanks Ken!)
  2. Michael Trust you got back ok. Potentially an unpleasant front hub failure, resulting in no brakes heading into Fradley...... Hopefully, this is the end of your car failures this year. Trust will be fixed before Loton. Malcolm
  3. What bliss! To be able to sell 2 lawnmowers and not have to cut any grass ever again! Moving to a gardenless flat? 😬 Good luck with the sale. Malcolm
  4. Chris, I had 5 wins and 5 second places last year on stunners in class 1. Jon Ward also used them in the back half of last season and had 4 wins and 2 second places. Malcolm
  5. Thanks, Mark. I hope the HDCC entries sec' s arm is better soon
  6. So you've taken delivery! From the hothouse of class 1 into the hothouse of class3
  7. Matthew Tony Fletcher 01562 754243 between 0900 to 1730Hrs Sorry you can't make it malcolm
  8. Seems might be a good sort of car to own, looking at the season's results so far. Anybody know of one for sale?
  9. Jeff, sorry to hear this, but as you would have been quicker than me (that is up the hill as opposed to speed of your bowling) can you ask Mr Sankey to take up some cricket too? Malcolm
  10. Ive seen under the bonnet AND driven the car.......all I know is that someone had been fiddling with the injectors and the roller barrels . I must look at the times for Loton 2 years ago, I think I was 2 sec faster in the K7SLT than my car......... 😳
  11. We're both very sad to see you are selling up. Many happy laughs in the paddock, lots of advice when we were starting sprinting and great competition Do come and say hello Malcolm & Judith
  12. Richard DT will sell the numbers individually. Pity I did know you needed some as I was there yesterday. Malcolm
  13. My experience with the 1400 with the earlier closed top block casting is that it's far harder to bleed compared to the later open top 1600/1800 block casting. You can identify the earlier block with a cross hatched stiffening pattern on the sides. I gave up and fitted a remote thermostat.
  14. Post a wanted thread (on here rather than the general 'Wanted Section') as there may be some competitors with spare tickets. Otherwise pay on entry, around £10-15. Malcolm
  15. Hi Geoff, we were returning from the 'Ring. Slow traffic to say the least (and a rather inconsiderate driver in a VW Passat) Malcolm
  16. Norm I was sure this was down to quality. My father's Lotus Cortina ran its original pump from 0 to 80 k miles over 15 years. The engine was rebuilt in 1980 and the pump was replaced as a precaution. It then suffered numerous failures until he got rid of the car in 1983. People blame the dynamo belt tension, but Im not so sure. Malcolm
  17. As RJ states, it's really down to the set up of the rest of the car; spring rates, rake, tyres, front ARB, camber etc and finally personal preference. In theory, softening the rear will reduce oversteer. malcolm
  18. That'll be fun in the pouring rain 😬
  19. Maybe a Loton entry would make up *wink*
