that guy (Simon) spent all day on three wheels!

risk of rolling is very low - more of an issue for the taller front drive hatches

"The clan was mighty impressive. Vey fast, and very manoeuvrable. The speed it changed direction was incredable."

Doesn't seem to happen in North Yorkshire...

..plenty of rallies maybe, but a totally differen't level of preparation is needed for that..

Si

If I still lived in Winchester I'd be there at every event you entered. :twisted:

And I know what would happen next.....I'd be forced to strip the Clan to nothing.... just to get close :roll:

Thanks for this Si....it pays to be connected...obviously I'm not.


There's plenty of events here afterall!

Tockwith airfield is definitely do-able (30th September)

And the Elvington Sprint in June is worth a viewing (obviously can't enter that).

And Hartlepool is possible - have to fit locking wheel nuts and remove the snap-on steering wheel when parked mind you....

I know one person that's entered for Abingdon, but he uses a Mitisbushi Lancer (although last night he was talking about taking his Bongo Frendee :shock: )

I'll be doing the Bristol MC event in August in the Boxster (the Davrian is banned from solos as it is not road legal*), unless I get roped into the organising team.

*requiring all vehicles to be road legal was not in the original vision for autosolo when we introduced it, we just ran the first one that way while we were finding our feet but it was thought that eventually anything could be used, up to and including single seaters. Didn't quite happen though :?

on the whole autosolo seems to be sdoing well, FDMC should have an extra one this year at Dunsfold aerodrome..

just a shame not to see more imps out there - especially as I think they could do well...

if I persuaded FDMC to list the Imp Club as an invited club for an event, would that help? seeing as the imp club is now MSA registered again

would would have to get at least 5-8cars (def!)

I'd enter one but the Chamois is not running right now, money is tight and I need to learn the car too. I've only done 250 touring miles in it.

money tight! £240 on a clutch! just get a new centre plate, save your cash and use the car

plus no need to learn the car as you only will use 1st and 2nd so will not be going quickly

If I were to have gone for the Helix clutch package and flywheel, I'd have had to borrow :shock: some money. But luckily, with help from you lot, I came to my senses! :lol:

I'll have a look at what events are coming up. Pending some issues in my personal life, I hope to compete sooner rather than later. As you said, Si, that is what the car is built for! :wink:

Bristol MC has a solo coming up on 12 Aug if anyone in the Bristol / Weston area fancies having a go - SRs here:

http://www.bristolmc.org.uk/EventRegs/S ... Aug_07.pdf

As usual only a club membership card from an invited club is required.

Edit - I wont be there, I've got a housefull of people coming to stay that weekend for the Balloon fiesta and dragging them all down to an airfield in Weston-super-donkey at 0830 would probably not be too popular. :lol:

wow just got pipped yesterday by a scooby doo for FTD on the Oxford Motor Club autosolo..

if I had not clipped a cone on one of my runs I would of had FTD! though I suppose the excursion through a wheat field did not help matters when the rain made a grippy bit, slippy!

great fun though - no imps present though.

well done Si, similiar rules as with some of the classic rallies, cones and line faults drop 10 sec's then very hard to claw back. i see you are fully up to speed with the motorsport ethos, if, but, maybe, i once had a navigator who was a sales manager who produced a spreadsheet based on the if, but,maybe, formula and when you entered a seasons results on it we won the championship every time! :lol: I may enter one of the auto solo's one day but at the moment i have a championship to consider. I was once told by an ex british auto test champion "go clean, go quick" keep competing. I agree Si more people should compete with their imps they handle really well and ok without loads of expensive tuning parts we may not win outright but class wins are achievable, and you can set your own class in your head based on your cars age level of prep and CC, taking part is just as much fun as winning and the driver controls the potential level of damage, drive it like you stole it expect the clutch to go, calm clean driving will put you suprisingly close to some one who looks quick. Sam and Matt (thompson1248 and RFK demon) will tell you that they spectated on a rally and were very impressed with the MK 1&2 RS's sunbeam lotus's etc when they watched them but found out they were beaten by other smaller cars on the tests. regards mike

YER i HAD A LEAD OF 50SECS!

BUT THE mgb was fun and I still managed a class win in it. Just grateful to the owner fo letting me double drive it so I could complete the championship.

the cone clipping event was not a championship round though was fun - first event where I have clipped cones -

The Bristol University Motor Club is promoting an Autosolo run by the Bristol Motor Club*- and I will (hopefully) be taking part.

My biggest concerns are the donuts (as they are fairly tired) and the (do)nut behind the wheel.

The other problem is the oil leaks- don't think they would go down too well.

I was a member of BUMC once upon a time, from when this incarnation was started in 1988 until a few years after I graduated, the trek to the SU on Queens road getting a bit long on a Thursday lunchtime when we moved offices from Redland to Westbury-on-Trym. Still got a load of trophies from 12 car rallies in the loft, plus the souvenier glasses from all the BUMC beer festivals we ran in the Anson room :lol: .

you should be fine if theta re in (and the bolts) are in good nick - unlike autotest there is no transition from fwds to reverse etc etc...

if yours are kancked might be time to fit new ones

they are great fun so just do one!

The MOT on the Singer is up two days before and it has a big hole in the floor as a result of using a trolley jack to change a wheel after a puncture on a trial. I wasn't expecting it to go through the floor :shock: ... I am going to try to get it fixed in time, whether I'll also be able to get all the trialling suspension off as well remains to be seen - it will not be fun doing a solo with 10" of ground clearance to the sills.

I also seem to have something in my diary for that weekend in Yorkshire ...
