    It is mainly for classic cars.

    We have classic cars, main problem is persuading the Kop Hill selection sub committee they are worthy of a run.

    Jim is on it, the committee, and a member here with a blue trials car, we need to persuade him to waive the flag for Marlins. Jim?

    I did manage to get my orange Marlin with the Kop Hill logo on the bonnet up the hill last year as we'd finished early and needed to keep the show going. Well that was my excuse.

    As I've said before, if there's enough interest I'll stick my head out and try and get us a club pitch.

      OK update .

      Replaced both inner wings and new suspension covers.

      Just a bit of wiring and on the road again.

          Yep, up to Bicester Heritage for the scramble this morning.

          So many cars, absolutely brilliant.

          Then back by 2pm and started work.

          Finished just before dusk.

          She's looking good.

          I have to thank all those who donated/sold me parts and gave me advice to get her going again.

          As I have stated before, this is what this club is all about.

            Nice one Adrian, looking good.
            The inner wings took a battering too? Was it due to the top wishbone nut hitting the inner wing?

              The drivers side had a bad crease in it and the passenger side had a dent from the wishbone hitting it.

              I was never happy with the fit of the wings so took the opportunity to replace both .

              The weird thing is that they both fit perfectly and the wishbone is well clear of the inner wing.

              I didn't fit them in any different way???

              Anyway it's done and as long as I get back from Cambridge at a decent time tonight I will do the lights.

              As this week should be good weather I hope to put some miles on it visiting some of my schools.

              Better dig out my flying jacket.

              Regards

              Adrian

                    Lights on. Went for a drive. Great to be back behind the wheel.

                      Well done Adrian. Excellent effort to get it running again. Hope you are equally “restored”!
