just read this on my night shift, nice to know there's a fellow rallye in the area, where about in chichester are you? i'm only in Tangmere, be good to meet up for a chat
That'd be good. Replied on your re-intro thread
What colour's your Rallye? I was chatting to the owner of a Black Rallye, at a Goodwood Breakfast club, that had recently returned to the road/got it back from somewhere - same person?
As far as the project thread goes, I sorted the oil leak. It was gear oil, and was a result of disturbing the driveshaft, but probably wasn't the driveshaft seal. Somehow, I'd managed to overfill the gearbox and oil was escaping from/being pushed out of the level plug hole
Drained the excess oil and fitted a dowty washer to the level plug. All good.Pugfest happened and it was good to be back after not attending last year. I went all-in and committed to the drive-out that PSCUK had organised ahead of the show. We met at Caffeine & Machine, on Saturday morning, for some breakfast and a chat before heading out.
We had a stop at a cars & coffee type place that was still under construction but had some interesting cars on display including a K.I.T.T. replica and a Ferrari converted to a pick-up truck.
After a drive through some pretty Cotswold villages, we had a stop at the Classic Motorist Hub for a food and coffee top-up then headed to Prescott Hill Climb via a supermarket for some supplies for the evening.
Put the tent up and got the bbq going.

Evening entertainment was provided courtesy of a projector and a screen, tied to our tent, and several rounds of Mario Kart and Goldeneye.

Sunday morning arrived and we joined a few from here in our designated display area. Everybody seemed to have parts for Rob, who was coming from ther Netherlands, but nobody knew if he'd arrived/where to find him/if he was still coming. I finally tracked him down, later in the day, and handed over the oil and heat shield I had for him.
I had a few runs up the hill, during the morning session. The heavens had opened just before the first runs of the day, and conditions were a bit slippery through the 'Esses' part of the course

We covered just shy of 350 miles over the weekend and the car went well although, the heater being stuck on hot was a bit uncomfortable on the way up and going home (hottest days) - I got a tip on where to look to sort that though
