Testing, testing, delving into the electrics on the XJ8, pondering a plan of action, dodgy earths, plus alternator swapping, and a damp run out in the Standard 8, all in this evening's upload.

Today's photo collection upload casts a glow over the pioneer early motorists and cars of the early 20th Century, so veterans, Edwardians and early vintage.

A separate standalone upload describing the trials and tribulations of alternator replacement on the XJ8 is this week's extra upload. Hopefully it'll be of use to anyone else contemplating this job.

For today's video I visit something of a hidden gem, in the shape of the Grocott Heritage Centre where an assortment of old lorries are to be found. Located not far from Whitchurch and Prees in N. Shropshire.

Evening all,
Today's upload is of a recent trip to the Shrewsbury Steam Fair at Onslow Park in Shropshire. Cars, lorries, vans, steamers, coaches, tractors and more were all there, it was refreshing to see a great many older cars at this one, mainly pre-1980s including quite a few pre-war cars.

Hi all, on Saturday I found myself down at Gaydon for Rustival 2, there was a huge mix of cars in attendance. I did wonder if most of them would be a bit too new for me, but there was a good spread over the ages really.

Last weekend saw the final Bicester Scramble of 2024 take place, and what a great event it was. Highlight was probably seeing Malcolm Campbell's "Blue Bird" Sunbeam record car being fired up, brought to Bicester by the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. What a car ... and sound.

In today's video we head out in the Dodge to collect a spare back axle for it, and also boxes of nuts and bolts up for grabs. In so doing the pickup is temporarily re-united with its former garage mate, an early 50s Chevy 3100 pickup. Also, old bicycle news and a bit of Standard 8.

A few weekends back we took the Pilot over to a vintage & classic vehicle gathering held at the Mill Meece steam pumping station in Staffordshire. A jolly time was had, the video features the workings of the two preserved steam pumps at the site as well as the cars that turned up, including a group of Alvises.

Fine weather and some excellent cars (inc Dino, Austin 10, XK120, E-Type etc etc) made for a fine couple of hours over at Tern Hill Hall for their final meet of the year.
