the sound of these ERAs warming up the oil in their pre-selector boxes definitely stirs the soul

vid from a Swedish classic lorry run!

talking of trucks, three vids showing some guys in the US shunting old trucks and bodies around on their property some interesting old iron to be seen out in the undergrowth too, 3rd vid is especially good

Someone in Argentina emailed me with a link to their A40 Devon resto on Youtube, especially like the drive home from the paintshop!

I like the cartridge oil filter and alternator conversions, do they sell those in the uk?

[Rick]

not sure about the alternator. I've got a spin-on filter conversion in the garage, I bought it at autojumble when I had the Somerset but never fitted it, so now plan to put it on the Devon. Some company (perhaps down Brum way, not sure) was selling these conversions, so that the original canister filters can be replaced with cheapo chuckaway spin-on jobs that only cost a quid or so a time. Will have a look next time I'm in there, see if theres a supplier label or similar?

Hi

I found this today when looking for a tractor that was ineed of extraction, looks fun, and would be a bit of a suprise if you were alongside it or behind it at the traffic lights!! I quite fancy one, not into hot rodded cars, but tractors like that apeal!

Cheers

Nice '60s street scenes in "The Fast Lady"

Could have ended nastily but luckily he recovered well after only suffering a broken collar bone (although according to the latest 'Chain Gang Gazette', a few weeks later he walked backwards into an inspection pit!), here's a GN Vitesse rolling over at Oulton Park this year - very pretty GN as well

Rob, that reminds me of a really nasty looking accident I saw at Goodwood a few years ago. Several open wheelers tangled at the start, and a 246 Dino Ferrari was pitched high into the air, the driver tracking his own trajectory up, out of the car, then down on to the tyre barriers. Looked appalling but he got away with just (!) a few broken bones.

saw this on youtube, reminds me I must join the VSCC, haven't been to a vintage trial since the early 90s

Nice video - unfortunately James Diffey died of cancer the day before the VSCC Cadwell Park meeting. In memory of him, before the start of the Frazer Nash race, instead of having a minutes silence, they revved up their engines to have 15 minutes of as much noise as possible instead, as they felt that would be more suitable. The pole position was also left vacant for him.

Haven't made it to one of the VSCC trials yet, and only made it to two VSCC events this year, but hoping to get to as many as possible this year, the atmosphere at a VSCC event can't be beat

[Rick]

agreed! I didn't get to Oulton this year but went to Curborough for the first time in many a year - all good fun, nice and informal, no 80s 'classics' either - perfick

Hi
I didn't see this clip earlier in the year, but was I seeing things near the beginning?

There appeared to be an artic towing a steerable drawbar trailer, it was just behind the first coach/bus.

Think how many pivot points there were, front steerable wheels, 5th wheel, trailer hitch, trailer 5th wheel equivalent.

Now let me see, I want to reverse to the left so I move the steering to the ??????????
