UN 6979

Post by Trevor Wilkinson »

Took my '34 two seater for an airing today, unfortunately it was much too powerful for the conditions!

Try adding some ballast or maybe you need my 450x19 tyres (and a set of 19"rims)? :lol:
if it's got wheels or chips - it'll cost you dear

Once I'm in the car I can assure you that no additional ballast is required!
I will also stick with the 18" wheels as they withstand the cornering stresses better. :?

I am off to Anglesey on Thursday (about 250 miles) for a long weekend in the Minor, according to the forecast we should arrive soon after the cold front, perfect timing!!

That's the spirit, Trevor! Looks like a far cry from Biggleswade.

Can I ask for a bit of a trip report for the Magazine once your fingers have thawed?!

I have treated myself to a cheap dashcam to see how it performs plugged into the 6 volt accessory socket that I fitted, (the sat nav works fine from this 6 volt supply).
Well it powers up when the ignition is switched on and records ok, the sound has interference when the dynamo output stops but I am quite happy with the results.
I have a couple of recordings of a trip today to fill with petrol.
