I did make an effort to take a pic on every event, my Dad came to most and I always gave my girlfriend or wife of the time a camera, plus any professional photographers that would send and sell you pics, and my Dad always kept a programme, i also used to write a new letter for a local motor club, so i still have copies of them, and plus its amazing what you can find on the internet, especially Harewood and Barbon

Been a long time since I updated my thread ! what with covid, a heart attack then other cars taking precedence, and because of that KEC has pretty much sat it my garage since August 2019, other than a couple of car shows, i decided it needed a run out so entered my local Barbon Hillclimb in it a couple of weeks ago, changed the oil and washed it and it seemed ready to go a run up the road proved that and all looked good ... apart from there was a resonation through the car, i had felt it before, but with competing in two other cars recently i just thought thats how it was
first run up the hill and it just didn't seem to pull, but again i had been driving other cars, but the time wasn't particular good, next run i heard the resonation getting worse, yet the oil pressure was good but now there was a distinct rattle, end of day for KEC, stuck it on the trailer and I shared our other entry with Nick in the Proton for the rest of the day, which he beat me again for the third time !

so yet again its stuck in the garage, haven't even looked at it yet, but i feel another big engine rebuild coming on, its third in 13 events !!
