Christmas Cheer

Light hearted only, what's the plan? I have to go to the sons house, eat lunch, pheasant, hare and some other road kill :-) then get beat up by the great grandchildren, take Ralphy for a stroll. Play games and then home for a well deserved G&T. Boxing day I'm out for a open water swim, then a surf, back the bathhouse for a laugh with a few old guys. Home for another sniffter. Then I can start work on the car's. Plural.

steamy windows !!

No, nothing like that I can assure you :-) Due to some inconsiderate tw*t hitting my Saab putting it in the garage at my expense, I've had to press the Sierra back into service. Luckily I had not got to far into doing the swap over, so a simple job to recommission. Decided for the first time to use the heater, now the Sierra is not entirely water tight, so after 15 minutes steam started to be blown out the vents. This condensed on the glass and no amount of wiping etc. would clear it.…

Phaeton's for sale

I have heard of 2 or 3 phaeton's up for grabs. They are in the Silverstone area and have 1600 Xflow engines....
One has been a trials car and was a championship winning trials car a few years ago appearing on BBC top gear.
The guy is looking to sell them to DOC owners for preservation but may break them if no interest. ....

phaeton update

Since getting the car on the road, a couple of years ago now, we've noticed some lack of steering feel. We measured the caster angle earlier in the year and noticed each side were not even the same and i cant remember what the actual measurement figure was but it could definitely be improved. Last weekends little project was to make some spare wishbones we had adjustable.…

2016 Events

Looking into 2016, I am intending to organize a fun weekend of camping, socialising and racing (optional) at Santa Pod Raceway in Bedfordshire. The aim is to get as many Duttons as we can  from across the country  to join in.

I know it is a logistical nightmare as some of you will have to come a very long way ...... see below.  But given that we all have a common love for our cars, it would be great to get us all together for some fun  ( WITH NO FEKIN POLITICS…

Hinckley point C

Finally agreed to build the place, and now I'm too old to help with it. That was going to be my swan song. Make a mint and run, lots of fabricating and welding to do there.

George

George has gone. Now peacefully at rest under the apple tree he loved to doze under at the back of the garden. Seems he had a brain tumor and would never recover. So just to say many thanks to all the people on here who helped us through this torrid time. Never thought it would hurt that much. Found myself yesterday filling and tidying the "grave" and talking to the daft thing. We had a family wake in the garden and I fell into bad habits and had a few Malts with my son, paying or it now…

Checking in!

Hey folks,

Just a quick one to say howdy.

Not done much with the Dutton. It's still in the workshop in the same spot as as it's been since the Autotest. I have however bought two 8" electric fans to go in. Did some maths and the two small ones will cover more surface area than one bigger one, so should keep it as cool as possible.

Will get a few days on it at some point soon - been quite busy. Since my last visit, I've won the Scottish RTT…
