Hi all. Me and my Vehicles

Fri, 02 May 2008 09:01:36 GMT

Hello Every one! I thought some of you (god knows why!) might be interested in seeing some of my current and past vehicles.

This first on is our current Vitesse sitting on period Cosmic alloys

This is a newly aquired Herald 13/60 in need of some work!

This is a Spit 1500 we own but unsure what we are doing with it? If any one wants a Spit, drop me a line.

This is our old Vitesse 1600 sold to a chap in Bournmouth. ...

My track sprint.

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:21:40 GMT

As some of you know I have a Dolomite Sprint that I'm turning into a track and auto test car.

I've had it since December 2006 and progress has taken alot longer than planned as the project has got more extreme as I have gone..

The planned mods are:

race grade Poly bushes fitted to strengthened suspension components.

4 pot callipers and larger vented discs on the front and ford hubs to reduce flex and increase the choice of wheels.

bias adjustable pedal box.

hydraulic handbrake.

Triumphs spotted on the Island

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:30:03 GMT

Out and about with your mobile phone? Seen a fellow owner? Then stick a picture up here and see if we recognise each other!

These are cars I've spotted throughout last year:

Very early 1300 meets the end of the road at Clifton Grade

Bad picture of what is now believed to be the earliest Toledo in exisitence - anyone know where it is now?

Dunno who this one belongs too!

IW Club Promotion

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:33:13 GMT

Been trying to promote this website on the Practical Classics forum but keep having some idiot posting nonsense updates so keeps knocking my topic off the top.

If someone here would help me out with keeping it on the top for promotion of the many good things this website offers (including the promotion of the Camping Weekend) then that would be great.

Topic is here: http://www.practicalclassics.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3588

Locking wheel nuts - TR7?

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:15:56 GMT

I have had these in my garage for years, brand new in the box:

They are complete and as new. They have the code number of 070 and fit all these that have that number:

Sorry don't know what stud size it is (but if anyone can advise please) the adaptor fits a 3/4" spanner.

There is also a chrome wheel nut in the box which presumably is for the car they were originally bought for?

If anyone here wants them please PM me. I want �5. If no takers then ebay ...

Hi everyone!

Hi

My name is Alan and I live in the West Wight. I have been involved with the club for many years and currently own a 1975 Dolomite.

I hope this will become a valuable resourse for all those on the IoW.

Best wishes to all.

Fuel Prices and Economy

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:06:27 GMT

In light of the fuel price hike isn't it time some of the slooooow drivers on the island looked at how much fuel they are wasting by a)crawling along at 35 everywhere, and b)holding everyone else up. Surely these are the ones damaging the environment?! Old and modern manufacturers quote optimum fuel economy being around 56 mph sadly a speed we rarely can experience nowadays.

Dolomite stub axles

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 16:02:02 GMT

I need a pair of stub axles for a dolomite, mine are heavily worn on the bottom and as I'm fitting sierra brakes now is the ideal time to change them. Unfortunately all my spares are worn too

Spitfire 1500 Convertible

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:33:44 GMT

For Sale: 1980 Triumph Spitfire 1500 in vermillion with four speed manual gearbox and its original factory hardtop.

About four years ago I paid to have the seats recovered in black leather (covers made and supplied by the MG Centre) and fitted new foams, boards etc (supplied by Newton Commercials). We have also fitted a black leather Mountney steering wheel and MP3 CD player and speakers.

The bodywork is sound and very solid. Of course there are a few areas which would benefit in being ...
