Are Smarts to be banned?

I know a couple of guys were looking at trialling Smarts. The theory being good power to weight ratio. As they have 15 inch wheels ground clerance would be easily raised with high profile tyres. However, I have heard today that the MCC are probably going to ban them on safety grounds as they may tip over backwards to easily!

Edinburgh Trial 2003

Reality has dawned - John Aley has sent me the electronic route card so I know its all for real!!!

 

Not done this Trial before and need some advice on overnight accommodation. Need somewhere within walking (carrying?) distance of the Pavilion Gardens for the Club Supper. It will be for Trish and we hope to stay over to make it a long weekend as neither of us know the area so would like to do some exploring on the Sunday/Monday assuming I survive the Trial!

 

Any advice welcomed.

Exeter - Class B again on the TTR250

PressureWashers

I had the front (disc) brakes on my Beetle sieze on while on the way to Strouds anniversary trial last year. At the time I changed the calipers and finally got round to looking at the old ones last week.

 

The problem ones weren't that old, around 4 years. When I took them apart I saw that the cylinders were corroded outboard of the sealing ring. The bores inboard of the seal (where the brake fluid sits) and the pistons were fine.

 

The protection seal was fine, no holes and seated properly. I believe that water got in when using a pressure washer to clean down. I am a bit religious with this and jack the car up and take the wheels off to clean underneath. No more pressure washing for me!

Summer is officially Over

Well, thats it, summer is officially over. The Taw & Torridge regs have arrived.

I will once again remind you folks that have never done this event how much fun this one can be.   Warm sunny day (usually), hills that are challenging without being rough, wonderful atmosphere and a lot closer to the midlands and home counties than you might think.    With 3 weeks between it and the Edinburgh, it is positioned just right to shake the car down prior to shaking it up on the Derbyshire stones.

 

Be there or be square.

(do people still say that?)
