Ist Imp Ecosse ,Big thanks to the organisers ,well done ! we were only there for the Saturday run out (cut short by mechanical maladies ) but the instructions were spot on ,The venue was great and spectacularly good value The wife loved it too ,so a result Colin the clan fared badly by flattening hi...

I am trailering the clan too
From googlemaps there seems to be plenty parking round the hotel
Where are you planning to park/ stash the trailer ?

Cheers ! ,My drivers door beam is in remarkably good condition with no rust at all ,I suspect it was replaced at some time as the passenger door beam is almost exactly like yours As my door key is not attached to the lock in any way ,I fitted central locking with the actuator acting vertically on th...

Oh my your door beam is a bit rusty! Mine must have been replaced at some time ...
On picture 8 there is a rod going to a bell crank with a Black metal pin attached ,I am assuming that is the internal lock ?
Mine is missing ....

We have booked for the Saturday night

What is the skinny on raffle prizes ,should we bring one ?

Check out that engine ...
Eat yer tea off that

There will be a Motorhome space opening up ,Unfortunately we have had to cancel under doctors orders ....
Gutted
Have a great time everybody and see you next year .....
(the clan was looking sooo good too )

The shrewsbury option then , our route planner had avoided the a49 first section and was routing us near Wrexham , I call this the Demon Tweeks route , but for some reason it is taking us down a b road off the a49 for little gain I can see , it connects back on to the a 4112 I will probably take you...

booked ages ago

Last lap for the preparations Been looking at the possible routes from Scotland ,three came up one was basically all the way down the m6/m5 before diving off cross country ...not a big fan of this one, m6/5 junction is always problematical second and third ,were shorter miles wise but longer time wi...

It was our second national and our considered opinions was overall rather good ,the band was great on Saturday ,the fancy dress was much better attended than the first one and the auto test was brilliant ,especially as I won my class (of one..) The camping field was fine ,lots of space for everybody...

Nice Rack.....

Have you considered helper springs instead of straps ? My springs are quite loose and was considering using these to allow me to drop the front a little for the track

Is there a camp site nearby ?

Thanks

Looks as if we are not going to make it this year ,Just had some minor surgery and the drive to wales would be a bit much for my stitches ,so with a heavy heart I will have to give it a miss this year ,hopefully this will open up a space for some-one else

next year then ....

George + Bev

It was me who could not make it ...medical issues unfortunately ,just had some minor surgery today which will mean us missing the WWW ....before I was always missing meetings and trackway cos the car would fail ,now it is me falling apart !! Looked a great day and good turnout ,it is about 10 miles ...

Evans coolant , Here is the best article I could find .... Here is the theory with Evans (or any coolant for that matter) First of all, discard everything you think you know about coolant temperatures. Coolant is the bucket in which heat gets carried away from the engine and dissipated in the radiat...

From Hot rod forum .... Wrenchin' @ Random The specific heat capacity of ethylene glycol–based water solutions is less than that of pure water; in a 50 percent solution, ethylene glycol’s specific heat capacity compared with pure water is decreased at least 20 percent at 36 degrees and about 17 perc...

Charge cooler temperatures are all about heat transfer ,coolant flow will help (bigger pump) or losing more heat from the radiator ,so size of radiator ,airflow through the radiator ,should make a difference ( I have seen ice boxes ...) As for the coolant to use ? water has the best heat transfer ,e...

It must be the only one ....

can't afford a 120hp imp engine ....

Great work Scott ,very jealous of your paint finish...mine will have to wait !
The question of standard clans ...Is there any ? I really do not believe any are unmolested ,or am I wrong ?
I see the clan as a blank canvas to change to suit your requirements

I have always towed with the clan on backwards ,my new trailer is just 2 wheels and is more sensitive to the right nose weight ,My last trailer was so heavy and twin axled ,it did not matter which way you put any car on !!

booked a pitch ,looking forward to it ...

Karen ,
Put us down for a camper van space ....

cheers

George

Coming late to this ... After enjoying the WWW we are up for another one ...I see all the rooms are booked ,although we would probably be using the motorhome Question is ,as we do not need a hook up and are "self sufficient " do you think it would be ok to park up outside the Hotel ? Is it a big car...

What a great time ! big kudos to the Gurns far the fantastic organisation The Saturday run out was ,well wicked ,I was totally knackered afterwards ... Clan went faultlessly apart from losing the windscreen washer (needed a zip tie mod ...) and the crunching in the gearbox was sorted by not taking t...

Clan loaded on the trailer ,'van packed with "stuff "
Sat-nav programed
Says 6 hr 20 mins ,methinks more like 9 ....
Off at the crack of dawn (well after breakfast ) 7am .hope to miss the jam at the a74/m8 roadworks

Should be there at beer o'clock

Good Info ! We are heading down from Scotlandshire ,starting early o'clock We will be towing the clan behind our Motorhome ,Its the one with the bloomin big saltire on the back (and a red clan ....) Any more hints and tips to miss out potential pinch points and big hills will be very welcome Clan004

Counting down to this ,Clan is in the garage in bits as I refit the seat to the floor and add some electronic trickery to stabilise the rev counter ,make the fuel gauge more linear and add a go faster chip to help the flat spot at 4-6 k,I will give it a service and change the oils as well , Been onl...

Motorhome and hook up for us too please

cheers

George

BMW all the way ... Simple fact is it is a modern engine ,efi ,electronic ignition and brings reliability and economy with it But it also brings POWAAA...the stats on the engines are on the pessimistic side ,the Horsepower quoted by BMW are at the wheels and are usually understated (remember the ban...

I have seen it in the flesh and it looks great ...
(I thought I recognised the background)

I find the clan the most practical of the 3 with it having the most internal room ,the g 15 is pretty ,but my it is tight ... There is so many different Davrains and some are really ugly to my view ,altho their is one mk which seems to get it all right ,but again it is tight and the visibility out i...

What is the spec on your engine ?

It looks fast !!

it is black in normal light very happy with it the two part epoxy is rock solid and you can rub it no problem (ooerr missus ) I vacuumed it after the epoxy had gone off (couple of hours on a oil radiator ) Took two "coats ".....the first looked really threadbare ,the second did the business I will d...
