There should not be a problem Jan :) come on down you can use my stand pass.

I started but i failed. set off at 12.15pm and got stuck on the M1 due to an overturned caravan, when i got Derby the 126 started making some funny noises and got worse nearing Nottingham, I managed to keep it going through the long contraflow and pulled off at notts, the alternator bolts had all sheard off. Managed to do a repair and nurse it back to Leeds. will be going down there tomorrow in the daily, so see you all there.

Thanks for a great weekend, Mick, Pete was good to see you again and nice to meet Darrel and Stuey,

its great to say we saw mick race his 126 round the track, was certainly a crowd pleaser, and was surprisingly quick! Certainly thrashed the 2cv!  :D

i got home, was doing between 60-70 most of the way home, didnt even stop to let engine cool not bad for an engine thats now done 98,600!

Will get some pics on here shortly of mick racing, we got some video footage too!

Regards

Chris

Great weekend guys thanks! [-/

Pics to follow, mine cruised home not missing a beat at 65-70mph, even the wife was impressed!

Got home and had the traditional Southern african braai (barbaque) with my dad who turned 69 on sunday and presented hom with a manual from the Haynes museum on the VW Polo I got for him not so long back.
Of interest is the injection system on the Polo which is single point.

Basically the injector injects fuel into what looks like a carburettor so been looking at it with interest thinking maybe we can steal it and fit it to a 126  :oops:
I'll steal it off a car in the scrappy  ;D

Great museum and great old cars! [-/
