Thanks for posting that link that is BIG .

Have some old pictures, from one of the years JanSpeed was there.

Very surprised that Earl's Court isn't a listed building. I hope they'll save the front 'facade' when the rest is demolished ?

Probably wont
only last year did one of the oldest Baker & Pastry shops in the world closed here in Elsinore
it was founded back in 1811
tourists still ask where it is ? and cant belive such a nice old place has been closed & removed
PS, I know who "saved" the old Brass lettering from the facade.

Just got back from 4 days at EC, I was talking to the security guy and he said what is amazing is the gearing system to raise and lower the floor in the olympic size pool, also ashame as this was the first time in 12yrs they have actually managed to work out a good system for trade shows to be easily built up and broken down with good vehicular access, I wish they would pass the secret onto Olympia and the NEC!

So there is a pool too cool

Thanks for letting a tourist "in" on all the info, about this place

Hi all,

Most of you have seen the pics, and read some of the dribble, I have been posting.

So now time for some "action" (well sort off) = easy one.

Here she is out on a friday cruise, in the sun. http://youtu.be/gGMkEcjwFfk

They came back & said it was very fast

Well my Parents apparently saved it on one of their 8mm films .

They did a road trip to London, in the 50ies, in their MG.

Going by the date on the poster outside Earls Court, it looks like 1957,

Hi Bill,

Back to the technical stuff.

Read that you cant have enough breathers on a "pumped" A series.

So last year I fitted a timingchain cover, with breather cannister.

Some weeks ago I had the new oil "dipstick" made.

This has 2 extra pipes for crankcase ventilation.



The thin pipe, is for the SMITHS oilcheck, which makes this setup possible.



Here is the temporary setup.


I will have a proper breather cannister made, which will have 4 seperat inlets, and a breather filter on top.

Looks very smart indeed, I can't wait to get the quad light grille done for my Clubman.

Yeah! Great gauges! I'd never seen one before, so when one was for sale at a local show I just had to buy it! Then another at local autojumble, again.... I'm a sucker for interesting automotive things!!

Love your mini.... really superb.

Thanks, bet you will do a nice job, with your skills.

Here is a close up ( and its the GRILL you focus on ) for more inspiration, still speaking about the grill
