  • Sept. 6, 2015 Lime Rock car show

    This weekend is the Lime Rock weekend, with great historical races on Saturday and Monday, and the big car show on Sunday.

      Gents- I went to LRP Historics too.. and took my parents.. they LOVE cars.. especially vintage...
      But I never go for the concourse on Sunday,,.. I go to watch the RACES.. !! To watch these "old girls" run.. and compete.. like they were built to do ...
      As usual, it was heavenly..

                The Mercedes Silver Arrow didn't race, but Sir Moss did take it around the track for a "Demo Lap"

                      But you'll lose all that lovely uncertainty!! Or as I say to my wife, excited anticipation of arrival! My XK was overcharging for a while - cooking batteries (yes original 6V'ers), and after adjusting/replacing the regulator, sending the generator off to an expert rebuilder etc it turned out to be a wrongly connected wire to the regulator - nice old cloth covered wires!! I run mine all original..

                      Nice trip in the Aston this summer - lots of fast road work - had the brakes all rebuilt (girlings on the front, dunlop on the rear for some reason) before I went - only to have the servo start leaking on me (see pic - there should not be fluid in there). They worked ok - just had to pump a bit and they would stick on every now and then. The wonders of running an old car - at least no laptop required!!
