The WHT has always been a great event. Hope you guys all have a great time. Always great to see those old FFords and the like out there and on a circuit layout that always produces close racing

As usual, the circus moves from the Festival to the Walter Hayes. The top 9 in the Festival Final were separated by 2.3s. Every year I'm in awe of the closeness of the racing at the WHT, especially as there is minimal contact.

The festival at Brands was a great spectacle this year despite the miserable conditions both Saturday and Sunday mornings, some perennial favourites in the finals with the 2 USA academy drivers doing particularly well. The final itself was a real close battle but as usual only a handful of spectators watching the action. Personally I've stopped attending the WHT on the basis that the venue is so depressing. Good luck to all those taking part.

Well, Having found a nice pair of Italian 45's, negotiated a price, and subsequently sold my Mint early 60's 40 DCOE 2's, I've been let down by the seller who sold them to someone else . . .so . . . .anyone got a pair of DCOE 45's they want to part with ? happy to refurb.

That's so annoying when that happens. Any reason why he changed his mind on selling it? Hope you find a pair of 45's soon enough!

Joe, I sent a message to soemone who… Will let you know.
Buuut, if my memory serves the DCOM (marking showing DCO only) found on some Pug' like 205 Rallye and the equivalent Citroën were 45 at the entry and 40 at the butterfly. May be worth considering because you have the know how and the tooling. They work fine, no issue reported only running too rich. |

They were on fleabay, made direct contact, agreed a deal, he relisted and they sold for an extra £50, which ebay will get!

I haven't sold on eBay for years, and apart from using it as a superstore for new stuff I haven't bought much either. I find Facebook marketplace better these days, and it's free.
Mind you, I have to put up with the moronic standard messages from people who are too lazy to type. Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk |

LOL. Yeah most are people offering me a fraction of what I want "I can collect today". Called one bloke's bluff once and said yes - never heard from him

That's why it's usually better to do these things face to face. But Ebay still has it's advantages, if you can avoid those who muck you around

Joe I've just come back from sunny Spain last night and will have a look in my "carburettor chest" in the workshop over the weekend, I seem to remember that you had a pair off of me a few years back ?
I am having a bit of a clear out of Kent engines/gearboxes including race parts allied to them, I might break the Anglia unless someone makes an offer? it is still complete but really needs a rebuild. |

It would have been about 2002 - is that possible, Gordon? Sadly Raj lost his battle with cancer earlier this year. A lovely man who would do anything for anyone. |

I remember Gordon winning the Victor Meldrew trophy about 10 years ago.

This is an open question regarding the 90/180 length of stay in the Eurozone for us Brits.
I have my ideas but they seem to conflict with others including some so called official calculators on the internet, so come on you brainboxes what do you think ? We went from 5th June until 17th July and then 4th October until 4th November this year, so if we book a flight for the 1st of January 2022 how long could we stay for ? |
