Re: Suffolk Weekend

Agreed, and the weather was kind as well. Usual cars/people were there, plus a visit from another Roadster (the builder still owns it !) and we were joined by
a local kit car club member with his lovely DRK on the Saturday run

To save some Googling :
D.R.K
The D.R.K first originated in the UK in 1984 and was first unveiled at the Cheshire Kit Car show in May 1986. As the car proved to be a success D.R.K went into business. The name D.R.K derives from the car’s designers and builders; Derek Callister, Robert Callister and Keith Hamer. The D.R.K is powered by a number of engines ranging from the Renault Four engine to the 1100cc Renault Six and is dependent on what the owner chooses and the donor car that is used. It features an aluminium body mounted onto a wooden frame which in turn is secured to a steel chassis. Until 1990 D.R.K’s were built as a spare time hobby but after the business was sold to Callister & Roscoe body repairers, with Derek and Robert Callister being long term partners, the D.R.K went into full production building D.R.Ks to order. All D.R.K vehicles were built to a basic specification but were individually tailored for each customer. They left the factory with a fully built and painted chassis with all the components needed. It was then up to the customer to install a suitable engine and gearbox. Production of D.R.K vehicles stopped in June 1998 after having manufactured 59 cars.

Re: Suffolk Weekend

Like the KN wheels on the blue Roadster. Same as on Brum but with a much better offset. Is there such a thing as Offset envy?

Re: Suffolk Weekend

Many thanks for a lovely weekend. Kent was really warm & sunny too so we had a good trip. Now back in the rainy Midlands (well it poured down last night).

Now ready for the Yorkshire Weekend!

Re: Suffolk Weekend

Hi All
Really enjoyed the weekend in Suffolk, and subsequent week on Norfolk coast. Ringo says he enjoyed it too, and hopes he didn't annoy you too much by barking at the horses!! We contrived to travel on the hottest days, which put the cooling system under some strain, what with towing the van too. Called in at RPI near Norwich (original builders of the engine) who made some helpful suggestions, but may have to make some further investments later this year. First job is to fix the windscreen again after it took a hefty blow from a flying stone! Doh! Norfolk was a relaxing mix of walking, driving and riding on trains. For the railway buffs, the North Norfolk Railway had a BR 4MT and a LNER B12 in steam, the latter hauling the newly restored Quad-art set of coaches, which was interesting as I have recently made a similar set for my model railway. Looking forward to seeing some of you again on the Yorkshire weekend. It's a great life if you don't weaken!
Dave, Caroline & Ringo (wuf!).
