Glad you had a good day, not glad I didn't get there

There's clever with the picture I'm sure I'll be there, but I'm not sure what I'll be driving In fact, the way things are going I might come on the bus

Sorry to hear your news but glad to hear you're staying a "hoodie". Please accept best wishes from myself and on behalf of the club . Steve

Thanks for the suggestion, I thought the same, I'd had problems with the engine "coughing" and I thought it had probably ripped a mount apart. I did find that some of the bolts would tighten up a smidge but nothing else - the rubber bits of all the mounts were new last new month when the engine & box went back in. I've even tried lifting the engine until the front wheels of the car are off the ground and all seems OK so I don't think it's the mounts. What I really need is somebody to sit in the engine bay while I drive it, to see where the noise actually comes from All being well I've got a day to myself on Wednesday so I'll give it a good session of looking at and see what I can find.

I was really looking forward to this show and all was going well until somewhere past Uttoxeter when the car developed a scary noise from somewhere under the bonnet (I think) every time I decelerated. It sound like something has broken and was rattling around but, having driven back home slowly, I spent several hours in, under and round it NOT finding anything !!! I now know exactly how to get it to make the noise but I still have no idea of what it is. I'm sure this will probably make a good story when I finally fix it.

I'd love to keep you company but as fast as I fix one thing something else seems to go wrong at the moment. I've now got the engine running OK but a strange (scary) noise when you lift off to decelerate. At the moment I can't even figure out exactly what it is or quite where it comes from ! Put me down as a definite maybe and hopefully I'll get it sorted by the weekend - I might be giving you a ring to pick your brains if I don't get anywhere in the next couple of days

New carb. is on & engine is running a lot better - needs a bit of setting up but I should be there tomorrow. I'm aiming for somewhere between 10:00 & 10:30 so see you all there. Don't forget - this year we've got to be square

I'm with Phaeton on this. The pressure on my pinto would stay up, even when ragged round a track. It only dropped a bit at idle, when hot. Sorry but I can't remember the actual pressures.

I would suggest it's going to be worth about £4k when up and running with an MOT. Hope this helps, Steve

I'm hoping to be there but I'm having engine trouble at the moment. I've ordered a new carburettor and I'm hoping it solves the problem - watch this space.

Not happy I missed it but glad it went well. New carburettor on the way so, hopefully, that will get me running again.

I'm not going to make it tomorrow - can't get the car to run right. I've sent you a PM.

I'd recommend you put a bit of grease on the drill and then any "bleep" will stick to the drill and not drop into the waterway.

I'm not going to make it over that early - I'd be getting up before I'd gone to bed Don't wait for me - I'll see you there.

Hi Chaps - are we meeting at the garage ? If so, what time ? The paperwork I've got says we're supposed to be there between 7am & 9am so it looks like I'll be getting up at silly'o'clock
