This Tuesday is the regular monthly meeting, all welcome at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH23RJ from 7.00pm. Looking forward to another great turnout this month ,it was great to see some old faces as well as some new last month.

The meeting is at the Church Mouse Chester Moor, DH2 3RJ from 7pm, Looking forward to seeing you all there.

It is time for our first meeting of the year at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH2 3RJ, Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

This will probably be our last meeting of the year at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH2 3RJ, so would be good to see as many as possible, to catch up on your winter plans before the festivities. I will be coming down in the kit so it would be nice if others joined me, if only to show i'm not the only mad one.

Warm welcome to Brian it was so good to see you at the meeting last night. Best of luck getting the car finished and don't be afraid to ask even a silly question  (it' s not silly if you don't know the answer) Alan

I was going to come down in the kit but I don't think the outboard motor I ordered will come in time, so i will just come in my sensible car.

Our October meeting is at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH2 3RJ, no need to come in fancy dress.

I owned a Triumph S7 with a Dolomite Sprint engine and yes it is possible to change the engine but you would be giving yourself an incredible amount of work. Engine and gearbox would have to changed, mountings fabricated, totally rewired, new propshaft fabricate and that is without considering whether the rear axle , suspension and brakes could handle any extra power. my suggestion is to enjoy the car with the spitfire engine but look out for a more modern base ( 2B or 3a or Sierra based S7) to do any conversions

To all past, present and future members you are invited to attend the September meeting at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH2 3RJ, on Tuesday 26th from 7pm.

Sorry I won't be able to come to the September meeting as I am away on holiday, I will leave it up to you regulars to work out if you want to hold the meeting or not, just let me know and I will put a post on here to let everyone know. Alan

Our monthly meeting at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH23RJ, last meeting before Newark Show -who is going. See you all from 7pm.

is your carb a weber 32/36 if so it has a small gauze filter where the fuel binlet joins the carb-unbolt the pipeand the filter is pushed into the carb body, wash it out and rebuild.

another thing you didn't use silicon whehn you fitted the sender unit in the tank as that could be blocking the pick up in the tank.

It was so good seeing three kits make it to the last meeting, looking forward to getting a few more to venture out. See you at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH23RJ.

For the last six or seven years I have been having a run up to the Borders on New Year's Day, this year I put it off till today as snow was forcast for the Carter Bar area for yesterday. I set off with the usual no doors or roof after having to defrost the car as it was only 2 degrees! I went up the A696 to A68 as far as Jedburgh having to be very careful in any shaded areas as there were patches of ice in a lot of places. I hoped to stop for a coffee in Jedburgh but everything was closed so I carried on through Kelso, Coldstream, Duns and into Berwick. I got my cup of coffee and filled up with petrol having done 125 miles so far. The temperature had warmed up to 4 degrees but the ice patches remained in the shade.  Came back down the A697 through Wooler and home having covered 175 miles in 4 hours, not one car overtook me and I only had to pass four cars on the whole route. No such thing as being too cold just wear suitable clothing, Big smile on my face l loved every minute of it.

I have just been out in the kit and I didn't like the freeing fog!!! So I am coming down in the Z4, at least it has a demister that will warm the screen. See you all later Alan

This will probably be the last meeting of the year, so looking forward to seeing you all at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH23RJ. Hopefully we might get some dry weather as I hope to give the kit a run out.

On the Grosvenor to web site they say that Stoneleigh is no longer viable as  Show site, so no more Stoneleigh.
