TSSC changes are a foot

Jason Chinn says on his Blog http://chinn.blogspot.com/

Want a job?
Seems like there's another re-shuffle at the Triumph Sports Six Club - I heard that role of Public Relations Office may be vacant. I wonder what's going on in the TSSC these days?

My reply

Interesting times in deed. Just been on the phone to Bill Sunderland at TSSC HQ who reassured me that things are changing. He said that the members will start to see significant changes as soon as next month.

Blazing hot

We took WYL for a blast yesterday to see some open gardens out in the country. Gardening is my partners first love as my Vitesse is mine I guess after her of course!

Despite the heat no problems but did get v hot in car - no running on or boiling after parking up.

Noticed a new noise maybe the alternator bearings are running dry

rear view mirror part3



Having cleaned up the rather crubby dipping rear view mirror that I picked up from David Pearson at Canley Classics recently I thought I would try fixing it to the stem. Unfortunately as you can see from the pictures getting the mirror attached to the stem will not be easy. The ball on the end of the stem is too small to pop into the mirror head. On a normal non-dipping Vitesse mirror the ball on the end of the stem is held in a threaded cap which screw fits to a male threaded part on the head.

Ultima does it again


I know it is not Triumph related but this is one hell of a car. I saw one on the way into Nottingham the other day. If I had one of these that would make commuting fun again!
