Sounds good Jeff ..cheers

Phil

Hi Jeff

Not surprised in the current crisis that things are stalled - you mention heated glass - is that now an option instead of using our own glass? We'd certainly be interested in heated glass..

cheers

Phil

Jim

The cancellation is understandable - did you try to rearrange for later in the year (Oct?), or deferring fully to next year and them transferring the bookings, to minimise individual loss?

Phil

We're paid in full.. sharing with the Blunts and Crooks.

Not long now....

Phil

Glad you like it Bob, mine is great - currently under my MGTF. They're great for getting the car safely onto 4 axles stands too. As I said in the PM, I used the wide setting bars and cut 4 inch off them, now the lift fits both Imp and MG. Only real downside that I have found is that you can't use i...

Hi Colin, Well done and a good idea to have a dry run. Don't be afraid to carefully pull it taut when you glue it as there is a bit of stretch in the vinyl but don't trim it until you're completely happy as you won't be able to reposition it if you get it wrong or if you cut it too much. A heater wi...

Jeff

Is this full frame or bottom half - last discussion I saw suggested it was bottom half only? We'd certainly be interested at a full frame.

Phil

Sorry for the late reply,what a fantastic weekend,The venue,the weather,the cars but mostly the company,great to see the old faces and some new,Roll on next years event. Neil, it was great to see you, Tina and Adam, and we're so glad that you had a great time. Thanks for so many pictures of Hilda -...

Had to repost this - posted on Facebook by Jim Fraser ..

This was the 20th anniversary event and it was fitting that after a couple of years away, the Gurner's attended - Neil and Tina started all of this 20 years ago. They had a great time on the runs, popping up at various locations taking lots of photos, so hopefully some will end up here and in Impres...

Rebuilding Hilda's head gasket in time for Wicked Welsh Weekend.. tomorrow is last day to sort it. Thought we had it done on Saturday; big set back Sunday. Removed head again today, found the problem, refitting tomorrow - many thanks to Peter Hurst and Malcolm Anderson for advice and interpreting so...

Great news Ed. Sounds like a Super Team for the Saturday quiz.

Thanks for confirming this it will help us plan numbers for plaques and road books.

Look forward to seeing you all.

Phil & Lesley

We arrived home mid afternoon - Lesley drove Hilda all of the way avoiding motorways except for Severn Bridge - took a bit longer but was very relaxed and enjoyable. We had a great time at the event - many thanks to James & Jason. Some great runs, great views/scenery etc. Weather was great except Su...

Well spotted Andy - I didn't see it as I was planning to arrive from the other direction. So they must have been filming when we were there last year - wonder if they managed to film anyone

Phil

We're driving down on Thursday afternoon too..

Is there an itinerary or indication of places we'll be visiting?

Phil

Looks lovely Will - well done.

Phil

Thought it may have been.

South East Wales area did a run out - 5 cars participating. Roy mentioned it on another post/thread:

viewtopic.php?f=33&t=31586&start=480#p323544

Some photos were taken - I'll drop him a message and ask him to send some to you Grahame.

Phil

We had a great Drive It Day with the other South Wales Impers. Thanks to Roy & Dawn for organising the run and lunch. Someone must have organized the sunny weather...

Phil & Lesley

Great weekend, great runs. I even found a different route back from Kirkcudbright which was immense! The run home was uneventful apart from the tow car telling me I had a flat tyre, which was a lie :evil: Baz Check your trailer .. when we went to Ireland 2015 our Beemer flashed up a run flat warnin...

We had a great weekend.. Many thanks to everyone for making it such a success. Hilda ran great all weekend, even with 4 up on Sunday. It was an uneventful drive home, but the BMW averaged 42mpg with Hilda on the trailer - must have been all down hill! Hope everyone else got home OK.

Same here .. tool boxes in the front (no bag of sand !).. ready to go.

Chamois strapped down on the trailer ready for an early start tomorrow. Hope to be at the hotel by mid afternoon. :D Hilda is also on the trailer ready to go .. just need to put the cases in the car tomorrow and we'll be ready to go. Aiming to leave at 6am - to arrive around lunch time/early aftern...

Andy

It was brand new when we restored her 2012-13 and is still clean and shiny. Of course - it may never have been adjusted properly in the first place (it's never been great).

Saturday I changed the coolant as I had to replace the temp sender. New one is working - so that is good. I also adjusted the Denso alternator bracketry as it looks to be running slightly out of line with the pump and crank pulleys. We've been having trouble with the hand brake for ages and no matte...

Some of these modern cars that turn the DRLs off when cornering or indicating just come across as plain confusing IMO. What I find dangerous is the number of cars that have permanent DRLs but the drivers never turn on proper lights at night .. I've seen loads of cars locally with front lights and n...

Following a brake test at a local garage - result = no rear near side brake effect - replaced leaking cylinder and brake shoes that were dripping with brake fluid (they were new last year, so less than 1000 miles !). Did the off side too just to keep same brake shoe quality across the axle. Hand bra...

Lesley & I have booked..

Hope you got a receipt!

Phil

Well done Bath & Bristol AC ...

After the success of this year’s event at Llangorse Lakeside campsite (http://www.llangorselake.co.uk) in the Brecon Beacons we have - perhaps not surprisingly in view of the excellent feedback received concerning the site, café, bar, and the event itself - decided to go back there. Next year’s even...

Can't believe there's no HSCC 2018 thread.

Today Adrian Oliver clinched the HSCC Historic Touring Car Championship at Silverstone. A small number of Impers were there to support the Adrian, Steve and Stuart.

Well done Adrian

Phil

With Phatbob - rear hatch or suitable alternative & hatch stays & decent clutch components Also decent waterpumps - a lot of people seem to have had ones that don't last recently (obviously there are various suppliers on these, not sure why some fail) steering racks HE radiators - I know they are av...

The walk to the pub last night was made more interesting by a stampede of the feral horses on sight. "Just stand still Leslie!" I think it was hearing Phil's accent coming up behind them that spooked them! :lol: . Damned cheek, I was at the front of the group .. anyway, they probably recognised you...

Sorry to hear that George - got to put health first.. Phil

Looking forward to meeting up with everyone again.. thanks Phil

So who's coming? The site won't release names of the bookings due to data protection. It would be helpful to know how many people are coming. Phil

Cheers George

Have you booked George? Campsite won't reveal names of bookings because of Data Protection. Be great to see you. Not sure which route is best, but I know that Bob Hawes travelling from Warrington always went to Pandy via Three Cocks and Talgarth to avoid Hereford, and Llangorse is just 5 miles from ...
