I have entered the TRR April Castle Combe TD using my 2.5 mk1 Saloon. Enjoyed the day last year, hope to see a good variety of cars. The 'project car', the white Pi mk2 that I have bought with James Cooper is still some way off, sadly, he keeps finding corrosion, so that will not be used. The weldathon is nearly over....new sills both sides, floor pan repairs, all four corner wheel arch repairs, localised floor pan repairs, front chassis leg repairs and wheel arch bowl repairs. Mechanically, we are changing the J type o'drive gearbox, have rebuilt the front suspension and are fitting mk1 rear suspension so as to be able to fit 7J wheels. The car has a very nice revvy 2.5Pi engine with lots of nice parts. I love driving Triumph saloons at TDs, the weight penalty (mine weighs 1100KG) is compensated by the handling of them, just so easy and predictable. Very much looking forward to seeing Hamish's TR3. -
Yeah wristwatch revival ( marshal ) has been one of the key reasons I actually got into this, great videos that show the whole process. Nekkid Watchmaker is another good one.

The BMW shows electric only and combined, so the other way, which also annoys me as you have no idea how much petrol is in the damn thing without going through a million menu options on the damn touchscreen, bring back physical buttons... What Ive discovered is range is almost entirely dependent on temperature, in the cold it got as low as 40. However in the warm it's around 60. So about the same as yours. Surprising how quickly you get used to regen, it's quite dramatic on the BMW, I can just lightly tap the breaks and it will regen the car to an almost stop. It's when the battery is full that it catches you out, argh no regen

Not my garage unfortunately, mines much messier. Looking forward to it arriving, currently away having solar panels fitted. I did my homework, it's a smidge over 60,000 miles so well within the lifespan of most engine components, the belts are now 140,000 on these things. Would have loved something bigger but given the Mrs has only just started driving something other than a ford Ka, a lwb transporter is pushing her limits. Im intending on visiting many distilleries...

I'll be attending but not entirely sure i'll be on track. Quite a bit of work to do on the Spitfire and not many weekends left. Will bring my crash-hat either way, just in case I can cadge a few passenger laps with anyone -
Not really a bollocks, unless your my wallet! Today I took a rather exciting delivery, which is the outcome of an outbreak of seriously optimistic thinking. I'm going to have to survive on gruel for a while, but I think it'll be worth it when it eventually comes to fruition.

That’s great. come and say a sideways hello I’m in a black TR3a the track days are great fun so just enjoy. There is good courtesy on track which will be clear at a drivers brief. And we are all like minded and take care. it’s not a race, so go at a pace you are happy with. You don’t have to break any records in the first sessions but you will get quicker throughout the day.

The algorithm popped this out as a suggestion I thought WOW on so many levels.
