Re: OHC saloon needed

Temporarily perhaps but i will stay in touch and attend pre-war prescott and other events as a guest with another car.
perhaps my MG J1 or something else. besides, i am in no hurry.
To coin a phrase.... The times, they are a changing....
For me anyway. no problems, just change. :)

Re: OHC saloon needed

I am considering the idea of selling mine! CV3487
Seen by many because I have attended quite a few VSCC and VMR events.
I don't know what its value is so i'm open to offers.

Re: Northern Weekend 28th/29th July 2012

A lovely weekend. Thanks to all who organised it :D
Sadly, I had to leave the rally before lunch on Sunday to return home to Kent.
I think the midlands next year will provide a better attendance if only for the distance factor.
Book me in please :lol:

Re: mot not required

I think this could be a hot potato :!: I feel that although i would agree that the modern mot test is mostly irrelevant, eg seat belts etc. it would be a bad thing to scrap the idea of annual inspections. I can see the scenario of perhaps an accident involving a pedestrian where the insurance compan...

Re: Fabric Couplings

Just to keep everyone informed.... Mike contacted me today to say he has ordered the couplings and should receive delivery in 3-4 weeks time I know he has only ordered a limited number so best to get your order to him asap to avoid disappointment and get a share of the bulk discount he acheived. (No...

Re: LCES Welsh

It was a very good weekend. Well organised as usual and great fun. The weather was kind although it became bitterly cold in the mist at the tops of the hills. Regarding the numbers of A7's. I made a gentle quip to an aquaintance that owns an A7, along the lines of "the Austin Seven owners club ...

LCES Welsh

I have entered the VSCC Welsh Light Car and Edwardian Section this year again. It's nice to see a relatively strong contingent of OHC minors (7 by my count). The number of Austin Seven's of various types made me do a double take though :shock: There are about 40 entered this year and, whilst they ar...

Re: VMR Summer Rally 2011

We have to bear in mind this person does not represent the views of the VSCC in general. He is upset because "his" club has allowed a thread on their own website that might attract one or two people to Prescott in favour of the event he appears to be organising. I recon the weather might h...

Re: Fabric Couplings

I quite agree with you Ian. I have an email from Mike to say he is going to the factory towards the end of this week to place the order. Would everyone care to order their couplings from Mike now please via http://www.SportsandVintage.co.uk I will "divert" any emails I get to Mike. Cheers ...

Re: Fabric Couplings

An update. I am in contact with Mike Dowley from Sports & Vintage Motors (MMM Spares) who says he wishes to buy 10 couplings for his stock. I have suggested that since he is geared up for this sort of thing anyway and he is relatively local to the GMS factory, he could take over the ordering and...

Re: VMR Summer Rally 2011

I just posted a quip on the VSCC website thread. I believe there will always be people with arrogant views. However, as they said a couple of times, the Loton event has stuggled even before the PWP, but i am sure there will be some sour grapes and perhaps a little jealousy that PWP is so tempting to...
