Message Board Etiquette

Hello everyone. We have a couple of really hot debates going with some strong feelings expressed. Its all been clean and fair so far but as these debates continue a reminder about etiquette on message boards such as this.

We are all entitled to our opinion.

Please, never let it get personal. By all means attack a post you don't agree with, but don't attack the poster, you might be running next to him/her at the next trial!

Should splitting Class 1 on Engine Capacity be considered. Just for fun lets have a pole

Is there merit to consider splitting Class 1 based on engine capacity?

Yes I think a Class 1 split based on engine capacity should be considerd
 
 27

No I think things should stay as they are.

Class 1

Hi, all, just a short message this time.

Does anyone else think Class 1 could be or should be split up in to engine size? How is a 2cv going to compete against a 2l? Most other forms of motor sport seem to split the class front engined front wheel drive, in to engine size, may get a few more 2cv`s doing it etc. I know engine size isn't everything in trails, but RWDs get split up in to there own class`s. 

Up to 1000cc, 1000cc to 1600cc, 1601cc and over??

Cheers Jason

SU carb on Fiat 2 litre twin cam

What size single carb should I fit to this engine for trials driving. I have an HIF 1 3/4 in the garage that could be fitted, but is it a bit small or will it do the job?

Anyone seen this Cannon?

Hi Michael
 
Enjoying Classical Gas as ever.
 
I'm trying to trace a 1953 Cannon, reg JSV 914, with a 1.3 crossflow that was up for sale a couple of years ago (Pioneer Automobiles - too pricey at just under £5k, then H&H Auctions and then another auction  - not sure if it sold). Pic attached.

Looks like a great bet for classic trails - so I'm wondering if it is has popped up on an event.
 
Best wishes
