The MG Car Club's Wiscombe Hillclimb on the 14th September was a great day. I was competing in my A40 but a surprise to me was that the Ferrari Owners Club were also competing.
5 cars were in the Ferrari class and amazingly I was faster than 3 of them!

Re: Brands Hatch Sun 25th/Mon 26th
The engine suffered a failure of the cam belt drive idler shaft and the belt skipped a number of teeth with the expected engine results. I still maintain in all the years I have been involved with A series engines, I have never had a problem with the duplex chain cam drive system, it just works. Ar...

Re: Glass fibre panels
Hi All,
Well I think my thoughts on having a bonnet, boot lid and tailgate made professionally are now dead in the water.
The quote I have received was for a total of £3354,00 including VAT!!!!

Re: St. Goueno Hillclimb
Well that was an interesting weekend, after looking at the entry list I was sure I would be slowest up the 4km. hill. I'm glad to say that I was actually quicker than a Porsche 356 and a Fraser-Nash Le Mans Replica! Luckily the car was trailered to the event as by Sunday evening the head gasket was ...

Re: A40 @ Wiscombe
Have you fitted plastic windows yet? Good kit available and not crazy money and saves a good amount of weight which is high up and makes a big difference. F/glass bumpers would probably be best weight saving. The bumpers are waiting to be fitted, unfortunately plastic windows are not allowed in hil...
