Badwolf Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Sat in the conservatory last night. Throat dry, glass of...yes..water. Reading this thinking should I drink it, should I leave it? Sorted for me a little later, voice from the kitchen "You didn't drink your water, I've just thrown it away". Slept well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 It's only beer, with me. Two bottles the other night, not even two pints, got up about ten times. Had a few small smirnffs last night while watching a two-hour movie, got up once during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 One that is quite relevant today, but not a very cheerful sight. In 1972 on this date the IRA exploded 19 bombs in Belfast and three elsewhere, in order to 'make an economic desert of Belfast'. Killed and injured quite a number of people, but this photo was featured today on the news: Herald saloon with towbar. Possibly another one further along the street between the trees but can't as yet find a higher resolution photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pretty heavily involved in the Austin Seven Centenary Rally. Anyway that's now all behind me, and so I can return to this thread, although I am beginning to run out of piccies (I've still got lots, but many of them are almost-duplicates, or are of rather poor quality, which may get a bit boring). So, let's see what I can manage today; here are three similar shots all taken at Pardon corner at Prescott during the 1959 RAC Rally, and show Tiny Lewis in TL5, Peter Bolton in YRW 266, and Keith Ballisat in YRW 267: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Longhurst Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 I had to look up Inyanga - Southern Rhodesia back in 1962, now Zimbabwe! I had assumed the RSA # plate was Republic of South Africa but could not confirm it on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johny Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 were leather straps sometimes installed to restrict the amount an axle could drop down or am I imagining it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve seen reference online to some 70`s Alfa`s having them?. Their main purpose, supposedly, to avoid the coil springs becoming dislodged at full extension.

Mike Costigan Posted August 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 The Works cars were run under Ken Richardson's control; he was well-known for insisting his cars were completely standard, so I doubt they were fitted with additional straps. Static shots show the back-end set very low, so presumably the rear spring was set to give minimal ground clearance thus reducing the amount of camber in these circumstances. Had it been 'Tiny' Lewis' car I would be less convinced - he was equally well-known for his individual approach to preparation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Another non-Rally shot but a lovely period photo of a local beach back in the mid-1960s. At least two Heralds including an estate (just above dead centre) but loads of Morris / Austin 1100s and many other makes as well. It's a real nostalgia trip. These days no cars are allowed on the beach at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Another photo of the same beach in the late 1950s so no Heralds but is that the rear of a TR to the left of the Ice Cream van? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Truman Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Must have been mayhem if you were in the middle and wanted to leave the beach early! Obviously not a lot of tide variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Costigan Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 It's easy to forget just how popular the BMC 1100 range was - the best-selling car in the UK for eight years between 1963 and 1971. Over two million built, compared to perhaps half a million Heralds, nowadays the Herald probably outnumbers them two-to-one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
