I thought i'd nip across the road into the village when you just appeared, very little time for anything but a wave.

I was heading from home, just south of Shaftesbury, to Downton. I quite like barrelling along the A354 on a sunny day.... No co-pilot with me though. 

Would be worth putting a piece of plastacine on the back of the diff to see if it’s knocking the dedion tube.

I’ve not trawled through all the previous posts but in my own case the clunk under torque was due to the diff knocking on the dedion tube. In the end I filed off some of the aluminium ‘vanes’ on the back of the diff which gave enough clearance. Since then no clunk.

Thanks Simon,

Other much smaller clubs have regional associations so it would be reasonable to believe that cost would be minimal.....

Although I appreciate that L7C events are covered the MSA club membership, there are other owners who wish to use their cars for other ad-hoc events, affiliation would provide additional value to club membership. There’s always debate on BC over what value is gained through L7C membership, to expand the benefits is worth considering. 

Yup, after pawing through the Blue book got too long I came the the same conclusion. Strange though that L7C aren’t there.

Hope to see you at CP and Gurston.

I'm filling in the application for MSATP 2019 and it asks which Association the club belongs to.

As hard as I look I can't see that L7C is affiliated to any MSA Association.

The choices are:

• ACSMC
• AEMC
• ASEMC
• ASWMC

Am I missing something?  I belong to another car club which is listed but would prefer to be under L7C.

I’ve bitten the bullet and bought one from Demontweeks using the club discount code which helped a little! 

if anyone has a HANS device which they no longer use I’d be interested in hearing from you.

i’m not after the Rolls Royce of HANS more the run-of-the-mill Ford. A Schroth, Stand 21 or similar.

I echo RJ. I’ve previously worn ballistic glasses for short journeys but having had two large stones hit my Audi windscreen in one afternoon I’ll be wearing my Bell helmet with ballistic visor from now on. 

Another 'Thank you' to the team for all their organising efforts.

I'm looking forward to the prospect of a warmer day later in the year...

Must have been a bit parky!

At least you had a windscreen and doors on. Plus skin is waterproof. :)

It was just about to get a bit wet wasn't it. Hope you were able to drive fast enough that it didn't matter. :)

Nice to have met you. 

When driving behind you I did notice your brake lights. It might be worth get GF to see if they're working, it may have just been you didn't need to touch them. (A diving technique I employ when wanting to drive faster on track!) :-)

You chose a fabulous evening for a drive.

With the demise of the Powervamp PVR22 last year the replacement recommended by PV is the PC680, this is a superior battery and therefore a bit more expensive at £98. On the plus side it fits the same cage as the outgoing PVR22. The other change is the terminal size which increases from M6 to M8 so you have to get your Dremmel out!

The PC680 has a 2 year warranty and will hold its charge for 24months which is handy for some Caterham owners.

Nice day for a drive.

If you find yourself at Motorsport at the Palace on the August bank holiday weekend come and say hi, I should be competing in my Caterham (White Orange stripe).

Sunday 18th heading north. Flashed you from a silver Audi. :)

Tim

I think I saw the saw one heading north out of Danehill just before the junction with the A22.

Tim

I think I saw the same one at Suffolk Park National Trust at about 16:00.

A cracking day.
