Thanks to the Clasical Gas website and Simon Woodhall I now have some more 165 x 15 tyres to attack the hills with. Would not have got them without Classical Gas.
On another subject, I have put in an entry for the Northern Classic Trial. I will be the most southerly competitor traveling from Hayling Island. Look forward to the trial but not the motorway drag to get there.

Hi everyone,
I'm not competing on the Kyrle this year (unless anyone needs a bouncer?) so I plan to go down and take some pictures and make a video of Classical Gas members and readers.
Any info on the route and/or your competition number appreciated.

I have heard thru' Julian Robinson of the Herts VW club that Ivan Hirst has died. Without Ivan Hirst there would probably have been no VW's in Classic Trials! As an army major he was put in charge of salvaging VW's Wolfsberg plant immediately after the second world war.

Can anyone recommend a Synthetic Gear oil for use in the Marlin Diff, the std oil is EP90. Is it worth changing to synthetic?

Ken Green has found a list of garages that can still supply leaded petrol. It can be found on the web at www.bayfordthrust.co.uk

Hi everyone,
I see in the latest edition of "Re-Start" that the ACTC met in January and discussed a number of technical issues including "the eligibility of various components in a range of class 7 cars. Those of you directly affected by this will be aware of the details by now."
As an aspiring entrant I would be interested to know what is allowed and what is not, and which established cars/specifications are going to be affected.
In particular how does this affect Racecorps and Marlin's, both of which are on my shopping list.
Can anyone help?
Michael
I have just got my copy of the Ilkley clubs book on their pre-war trials. It's mostly on bikes but there is some good car stuff and there's lots of material to interest historians. See "Recommended Books" on the left for further details.
