Thanks for the god wishes.  I always get the collywobbles at this stage in the season,so encouragement gratefully received! A Triumph display at Brands?  Sounds great!   IF I'm there and IF other committments allow, Ill drive my Vitesse over from the paddock to join you. There may be other Triumphs racing too.   Try to invite them to join the display?  The Entry List will.be available on the CSCC  website in due course. John

I doubt it will be back on the road by then.  I have booked in with my Vitesse 6.

Are you coming in your spitfire? At the risk of it tempting me down a financially questionable path I'd be very interested in having a look round it!

I am also booked into Brands. Along with a bunch of rather more pedestrian locals! Afraid I can't commit to assisting as I will be herding said locals. They need a lot of looking after.

Good luck tomorrow John

Good luck tomorrow then for you, the car, and the van!

Thanks, egret, it would be great to meet again! I'll know nearer the time if the car and I are fit.   One way to find out will be tomorrow at Donington!

The Essex group of TSSC has been advertising space on their stand at the Brands 'Britannia' day on the 25th May.  They're looking for 100 triumphs for 100 years of triumph racing.  I've booked my slot, which includes a parade lap of the circuit.  It'll be a good chance to see how intimidating the first corner is from the safety of 1, or maybe 2 tenths! So @JohnD if you are attending and fancy a tea-boy/pit timer then I'm happy to offer my services.

Fox her wipers had a good service to and a new rack.. Now it seems to work right again.   Years ago (2020) I modified the wiper parking switch, so it has a waterproof microswitch in it. Amazingly.. still work without a problem. Used to change these switches every year or more.. So result !

Worked on another Spitfire thats getting a full resto. Removed everything of running gear from the rear.   Took the halfshafts home to rebuild. 1 Shaft had play, ofcourse shaft damaged. I had 1 good used shaft in my stock, so build that with quality bearings, not cheap..
