Bowler Nemesis EXR

From an off-hand comment at work, I happened upon this, the Bowler Nemesis EXR.

Surfing around Bowler's site it turns out this is some form of "civilised" version of their rally-raid car.

Interestingly though, the link for engine info takes you out to Jaguar's engine tech-info website.

So what we have here is a high ground clearance chassis, with good suspension, sump guards and apparently designed to be fitted with a 6-speed manual front-engine, rear-drive power train.

The question is, would it be in class 7 or class 8?

New Photos of Ebworth and Edinburgh Trials

I have finally got around to posting my recent Photos of the Edinburgh triial and the Ebworth Trial.

They can be found here;

Ebworth http://hoits.smugmug.com/Classic-Trials/Ebworth-trial-2009

Edinburgh http://hoits.smugmug.com/Classic-Trials/MCC-Edinburgh-Trial-2009

For the Edinburgh I was at Carlton, where the weather was great for Photography, with spectacular backdrops and plenty of light. Ebworth was rather different, taking place in a dark wood photography there is always a challenge, cut I think I managed to get a few good ones.

I hope you enjoy them

How was your Edinburgh Trial?

We really enjoyed our Edinburgh. After 20 + years in the Beetle we went open top with my 1172 Dellow in Class 0, a real adventure. We were delighted with the route and the sections, they were great fun without being damaging, for us at least, although there were a couple that I wouldn't have wanted to do in a saloon with limited ground clearance.

I think we climbed all the hills but I'm not bothered about that. For me it was the challenge of getting that old car round the route and driving it back home again. No mechanical problems apart from having to fill it up with water every hour as the radiator is leaking. However, we knew that before the event so were carrying a lot of water and some Radweld in case it got too bad.

The other class 0 competitors we spoke to all enjoyed themselves. Enjoyed the do in the evening although we didn't appreciate the waiting staff hovering to clear your plate away as soon as you finished, even if you hadn't. Also the do didn't seem very well attended and if the hierarchy were present why no speeches?
