Again an excellent event at Knockhill i was hoping to improve on my 2nd O/A last year but when the entry list came through i thought it was a tall order as there were some very quick crews out including the irish crews who came over. i pushed the imp hard on the rally stages and i was lying second 1...

Next event Knockhill speedfair (see you there Scot) hoping to get the proper box in and the stripes back on the car, report from the cumbria will be on here soon, another vid on youtube for those interested will post link in videos section. regards mike

off tuesday!

the mini is a 1380 high spec machine driven by a very experianced driver who is quick to say the least. The imp is pre 67 mods only running drum brakes etc so has to be pedalled hard to get the times to match the modern machinary, thanks for the comments i will post a report when i have time. RFK de...

i will be there, yes real shame about greystoke i enjoyed that last year all of it absolutley flat and if i remember i set fastest time on one of them. Take your time with the clan better to be right when finished and reliable, rather than drop to bits each event and annoy you, its the DNF that hurt...

Anybody want to watch or marshall (raffle, free food and best views) on the Cumbria classic, be at Penrith truck stop between 8 and 9 am on the 1st of july. 1st test usually on the truck stop and then off to wherever, but we usually use lowther park, yanwath wood, university car park. all within a 5...

no damage! a nice change for me, very short and rubbish value for money compared to the rallying, but that is due to my lack of skill at hillclimbing i even used the handbrake on the hairpin, great crowd pleaser but slow compared to the proper hillclimbers, still local hill and a nice day out, i wou...

Drove to Barbon competed and drove home came 5 th in class i think (there were 5 of us) 34.1 fastest time for me, it was damp on the surface great little event and if anyone wants to try there is an imp rally car time to aim for or blow into the weeds. A nice day out with the imp being paid quite a ...

right nearly ready for Barbon just the usual checks to complete and a good wash and polish after i finish the 12 hour days. Anyone interested in watching it is a great little event with a full entry, it all starts at 09.00 on saturday the 16th june at Barbon near kirkby lonsdale (near devils bridge ...

photo's to follow when i finish nights on satutrday, got a car booked in to sort the carbs an old morris eight, and need to fit new fuel tank rad duct idea mk5 and check crown wheel backlash on imp box and get ready for Barbon hillclimb on the 16th plus have to go back to work for 2 12 hour days and...

drill the hole in the jacks footplate, lower over bonnet pin put retaining clip through the bonnet pin, may need a spacer, do you want a photo? i can post one soon if it would help. regards mike

drill a hole in the footplate and use a bonnet pin bolted through the floor behind the front seats, a spacer and rubber tube or strong spring mat be required to prevent rattle! regards mike

Many thanks for the invite, cannot do it this year but i am thinking of having a year off as i have other things in the pipe line but would want to do selected events, so i may have a bash at a british championship round or modern stage event or travel to Portugal. Sounds like a big event what surfa...

Well the box survived but i drove like a muppet collecting a max on the first test cost around 90 seconds, then set some respectable times but we were never going to gain that loss back the old saying applies go clean go fast. later in the day we had throttle problems with the return spring breaking...

sell a couple of cars strip the best bits from the others and look for a local car club that runs a suitable event as i say if you look into it classic rallying it has lots of levels you don't need £££'s and the rules are not like the british championship/HRCR that seems to have attracted big money ...

HA HA i shouldn't type so fast i plan on living for a while so you all have a bit of time to compete. NE ? i live in the north west are you trying to kick off the war of the roses again!

nice idea will try and put some info in after the rally thiss weekend

right lets start this thing rolling by making the racing lads green with envy last weekend the Berwick classic cost £95 to enter this included 2 packed lunches and 2, 2 course meals at the finish choccy bars and water thrown through the window at the end of some of the tests, 200 plus road miles, 3 ...

only just spotted this, i am guessing you want all my drivel in here and so not poluting the rest of the forum? will have a look at the HSA one. regards mike
