A cracking day at the Show. A nice drive down, minimal queuing to get in (Normally a problem). And a great Club Stand near the castle looking over the rest of the cars, and, of course, perfect weather. And with 6 cars we managed to fill the stand, which is a first (although we actually had room at the back for another six cars if necessary). And we were right near an exit so we didn't have to queue to get out. This Show continues to be popular, a huge number of cars turned up, lots of food trucks, entertainment...., a really good family day out. Thanks to Steve, Andy, Wayne (& family), Jim (+1) & Trevor for their support.

Good reminder. I’ll bring some stickers and flyers.

This is where we are going to meet, at 10:00. Just North of the intersection on the B661.

Sorry Jim, missed your post. Andy and I meet up a couple of miles from KimBolton. I’ll post details tomorrow when I can access my laptop.

Over the last few years AndyW and I have collected a raft of information about the Superspec ranging from a detailed wiring diagram to a list of spare parts, a description of the MEMS ECU, servicing manuals and lots more, mainly concerning the Rover T16 engine. I’ve zipped them as a single file and attached it to this message. Hope Superspec owners find it useful, and if you have any other documents of information you might think is useful then send it to me and I will incorporate it in the package. Rover.zip

When the fuse blows the little LED on top lights up. I assume they are wired in parallel so that the amps normally go through the fuse (zero ohms), but when that goes open circuit the current flows through the LED. Clever stuff

Probably just a fuse as the headlights are on a different fuse to the rest of the lights. Don't ask me which one though I actually replaced many of my fuses with the ones that light up when they fail. Makes tracking them down much easier.

We don't want to waste this glorious driving weather so the East of Englan team were out and about again today. We went to Sywell Airfield, which has the advantage of a large car park and a great view over the airfield while having a picnic. It's also a good run for alll of us with journey times between 40 mins and 1:20 hrs. We parked in our usual place in front of 2 other classics (a Hunter and a Jetsream for non-aircraft spotters) and watched all the activity, inclusing 2 spitfires and a Mustang giving joy rides, a microlight and lots of small aircaft. Great day. Not as windy as it looks, those trees have grown like that

Of course we care, but we also have to be realistic. We have a limited amount of space on our host server and at present we are already hosting 20,576 pictures dating back to 2003, so we have to limit the size for each post and image. So all we ask is that you are sensible. If you pre-shrink your picture to a reasonable size to display then you can post more pictures without any change in the display. For example a raw picture from my iPhone is 4000 px by 2000 px. The maximum we allow is 1200 px by 1200 px so you cannot post it as it stands. But if I shrink it to 20% it is only 800 px by 400px yet still displays perfectly on the screen. We also limit the overall size of the post, and unfortunately as you are not a member you will be severely limited as to the number of pictures you can post as well. Members have a much more generous allowance and can post almost as many as they like. There are many free programs available to do this shrinking (technically called ‘resizing’) operation, personally I use paint.net. Hope that helps. Al (Webmaster)

June was not good. We lost 10 members and only had 5 new members join us. So we welcome: Username Location Area Secretary Mitch1991 Chesterfield Andi Matt82 Sheffield Grim WillB Thatcham ThanasisPolitis mmarksx19 (Michael) Leeds Grim Ax2020 (Luca) Italy/Spain to the Club

Had confirmatio from the organisers that we have a nice discrete club stand next to the castle but near the back (Square 46 on the site map). All the relevant details are in the attached PDF file. Any questions let me know. Kimbolton 2025.pdf

120 mph !! Shan’t be trying that

Lovely day for a runout and picnic (unless your car cooling system isn't up to scratch.). Nice surprise when we arrived as the parking machine was broken so we parked for free. Three kits and one tintop (41-year old starter motor failure on 4th kit), And a couple of hours looking out over Rutland Water. It doesnlt get better than this.

A good day for a visit to GBS. A good turnout, enough to allow everone to park in the car park but not too many so you can't move, and a good variety of cars, Cakes still superb I had an 1-hour run each way and weather was just right. Looking forward to the next one. Three members from the Club attended, all of us regular visitors. Should really be more ?

With the good weather now firmly with us (apart from last night ) we are going to kick off our summer 'picnic' phase with a run out to one of our favourite places overlooking Rutland Water. We are meeting there at 12:00 on Thursday 19th. If anyone wants to join us just contact me for directions. Al
