Didn't think it was just an air leak

How on earth did it keep running?
Will you be at the LMC meeting Justin?

Hi Chris.
I'm booked in on Sunday - in the Stratos all being well. I'm off down to Oxfordshore tomorrow to pick it up with every reason to think that it's running fine.
It's also booked in to Classic Nostalgia at Shelsley next Saturday - just for a coulple of demo runs which should be good.

Looking forward to seeing you and others on Sunday.

PS. Here's a pic of the hill run we had a few weeks ago at the Gumball 3000 / Piston Gin event at Shelsley. This was one of the last times it was used after I'd noticed the running issues - and the reason why we only had one slow run. It still went well enough for everyone to hear it though - with a few pops and bangs unfortunately.



Here's the associated video - the sound is muffled from the camera's mic being wedged up against the firewall, but you can hear the popping occasionally:

I don't think I'll be there Justin, but I know Ken Tomblin will be particularly interested to see your car. (Ken has the Rothmans Pregliasco U.M. car)

It's a shame you won't be there Chris. However, the weather's not looking great, so it may be a wise move.

You asked me for a pic of the front grill a few weeks ago, and I didn't get round to taking one before the car went away. Presumably though, if Ken goes to the national rally - he can take as many pics as he needs.

I went to collect the car earlier today from Oxfordshire, and it seems to be going well - it sounds and feels much smoother. However, my ears are still ringing...

Thanks Justin, It's more likely to be Ian Hassall with a camera. He took me some great photos of one particular part on the Omicron car, last year.

Chris .Ian will also have a rag with his camera to Polish the inner front arches of Paul's car
