Just a quick run-down of my recent doings to explain my lack of input.
Flew to England on 25th August and spent the next fortnight working on my 1974 Rover getting it ready for a classic car rally in Troyes in the Champagne region of France. I was assisted in this process by my best mate, Marino Pacini, a professional mechanic who runs a well-respected garage in Shrewsbury which employs three other mechanics, and who was to accompany me on the event. The work involved fitting loads of new parts prior to a test run on Monday 5th September from Shrewsbury to Cheltenham where some friends live. It didn't make it! At the halfway stage, just after Bridgnorth, one of the front brakes seized on and I nursed it back to Shrewsbury. The following day I took the front brakes down to try to relieve the pistons but they were stuck tight. There was nothing for it but to drive to Stourbridge in my best friend's van to buy some new ones from JR Wadhams, a company which specialises in supplying Rover parts for cars built between 1949 and 1976. Those with sufficient interest may plot my travels on Google Earth!
Fitted the new brakes on Tuesday 6th September then started the engine to take the car for a test run. I noticed that the ignition warning light did not come on when I turned the key. The alternator had failed! Fortunately we managed to source a new replacement locally but that was not available until 4pm that afternoon. We were booked on a Channel Tunnel train the following afternoon!
New alternator fitted and we drove down to Folkstone via the M25, the orbital motorway which surrounds London and which Chris Rhea immortalised in the song, "Road To Hell." From Calais we drove to Arras for the first night out. Arras has some excellent sea-food restaurants and I always reward myself with a plate of moules-frites with a bottle of Muscadet whenever I get there. From Arras we drove to Troyes the following day and took part in the event which involved over 200 other cars. There were lots of other British cars there but only one other British entrant, a couple from Dover in a 1951 Lea-Francis.
We ate and drank too much and the entertainment on the first night's reception was superb, featuring a six-piece band and a total of five singers, two men and three young women who sang a wide variety of songs from Fifties Rock to French Cabaret numbers, from Glen Miller to Tamla Motown, and as each singer finished another would walk on up to the mike. The girls changed their dresses with each number of course! A very professional show!
After the event, we drove down to my house in La Creuse on the afternoon of Sunday 11th September. We stopped off to make a minor adjustment to the car and I had to be quite forceful in preventing a Romany lad from taking some English beer which I had in the boot. Having got home, we rested for a few days, had a dinner courtesy of the model flying club, then drove my two-tonne VW LT28 van back to England to collect my Rover spares. Having packed the van I spent last weekend in Devon before catching the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Caen. Seven hours later I was home, (again!) rather tired. I don't do these long journeys very well these days. In the past they would have been an adventure, now I find them a right royal pain.
In the process I picked up a Dave Smith Models Aerostar and a Junior 60 and a Telemaster 66 which I had sold to my cousin nearly twenty years ago and which he has never subsequently used, but watch this space!.
Picture of the car attached. I'm sorry that it's a picture from the archives but I do not seem to be able to find my new camera. It's probably on my aeromodelling work-bench!

1.Acdii, I have sometimes been told that I should have been an actor but this is the first time when I've been compared with a writer!
2.Donny, I used to have a 2002 Rover 75 Tourer, a station wagon in American parlance and quite a big car by British standards. One Christmas Eve it was literally freezing according to thermometer inside the car which told the outside temperature. I pulled into a local supermarket. There was a young man there whose job it was to wash people's cars. He worked for some kind of franchise. He was talking to an elderly couple. The old man was trying to give him something in a small brown bottle which he said benefited him in the cold weather. The young man asked whether there was any alcohol in the bottle. The older man confirmed that there wasn't. I butted in and asked him how much it would cost to wash my car which was quite filthy! He replied £6 which is about $7.80 US. I asked him which country he was from and he replied Afgahnistan......
3. Flyer, the Lea Francis was a 2.5 litre 18 sports tourer, drop-head coupe, finished in silver and yes my electrics are by Joe Lucas but I've substituted a Lumention electronic distributor

In that case having owned 59 Triumph TR3A I feel your pain. The Lea Francis 18 sports tourer is great looking car I always thought Standard-Triumph lifting some of the Lee Francis styling with the TR2-TR3 series. The Lee Francis I would like to own would be the Estate Wagon, I love the look of the wood.

I forgot to mention I got I got lucky and scored a couple of old movies I love. The stuff I seem to like they always want to much for. However this week I got the widescreen versions of "The Blue Max" (1966) with George Peppard and James Mason and "Where Eagles Dare" (1968) with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. Now if I can just find Howard Hughes' Hell's Angels (1930) and the"Great Waldo Pepper" (1975).

Actually the old girl has been fairly reliable. With the old Lucas points ignition system, I drove it to the South of France in 1998 and to the South of Spain in 1999. Subsequently she's done three "48 Heures de Troyes" in 2006, 2008 and 2016. I went in Marino's Triumph 2500 in 2010 and he went with his new wife in 2012. Neither of us went in 2014!
Since fitting the electronic ignition system there has been a general improvement in starting and reliability and the adjustable shocks, which I have recently fitted all round, have made a big difference to the car's general handling.
As an aside, on the Saturday morning at the most recent event, we all pulled up outside a school, we were having lunch, with champagne of course, in the local village hall. French kids go to school on Saturday mornings but do not go to school on Wednesdays. The kids, aged about 11-13 years old, walked along the row of parked cars and came to mine, one lad correctly identifying it as a Rover. I asked in French, why my car had a steering wheel on the right. The teacher started to reply but I cut him off by saying, again in French, "Not you! The children!" The same bright lad responded by saying that in England people drive on the left. He walked on to the next car which happened to be an MG. He told his colleagues that MG stood for "Morris Garages." Not many people in England would know that!

Sounds like a bright boy! My TR3 was a very reliable as a second car, it stayed parked during winter months. And there were maintenance items from time to time like replacing the spring in the clutch and brake master cylinders, packing in the fuel cutoff valve, and cleaning the firewall battery tray because the regulator over charged. Along with the normal stuff like tuning the SU carburetors and changing oil and filters. I tried to keep it as original as possible, I think the owners who swap the SUs for Webers were just adding to the carburetor maintenance. Sports cars are cars for tinkerers not for those that just want to put in gas, start, and drive. There is something about owning a car with a starting crank! And I did use it occasionally just to show off! Alas, I did sell the old girl when the wife was pregnant with our second and we had just bought a house. I miss it at times but then winter hits and my daily drive is in the garage waiting and not sitting outside in the ice and cold so the TR3 can have the garage.

Since the subject of the moment is cars, allow me to share a pic of my 1969 Ford F250 Camper Special, Frodo. A Camper Special is a truck with heavy duty running gear made to haul a slide in camper, and back when Frodo was built (9-11-69) those campers weren't built out plastic and fiberglass! They were wood, steel, and aluminum!
In this pic, he's hooked up to Frankie, my trailer. Frankie started out life as a 1968 Ford F100, but when I bought Frodo, Frankie got cut up and turned into a trailer, but I don't think he minds. He's very obedient, and just quietly goes where he's towed!
Frodo is a work in progress, although not a lot of progress has been made in the past two years. Just too much else going on right now.

Sorry guys
My inernet connections failed I am just getting back on line,
Most of the vehicles that have been mentioned are not familiar to me. What I use to haul my big birds is in a state of disrepair after I used it as a scaffold that the wind toppled and busted things. so it will be sold. (1978 extended ford van.)
That K. Kobra is one of two in build. the other is the kit with foam wings that I used to make a wooden copy for myself, Which was standard procedure, to make a copy of all my kits so my son would have one but he lives half way across the state and is into other thing for now.

Nice catch with that camel, be careful or you will end up with more planes than it is possible to build, a situation I have prompting me to give away/sell several.

Mna, I have only been in this since 2011 and already have more than I can build. I have a SIG Citabria at my friends house where we used to build every Tuesday night, but I had to back off since it takes me too long to get there now from work. I have 2 full wood kits, no hardware, just wood, for a P-61 and B-25, and an LT-25 with one wing built(was my daughters, she lost interest, damn hormones), along with a couple crashed ones that need to be rebuilt, but I have been spending my shop time repairing planes this year. Wrecked the P-47 on its second fight due to misjudgement, I swear that building wasn't there a moment ago. My Biper Cub made it in the air, for a little while at least, so it now needs major repairs, my Something Extra has had a few minor repairs this year, mainly the landing gear, and my LT-40 is in need of major PM, the ailerons are coming loose after 4 years of hard flying. I also wrecked my T-Clips this year so I am now down to 4 flyable planes out of 8. 
Those two wood kits are major builds and could quite possibly take several years each, my Top Flite P-51 B model is still in bones, and that will take at least a year if I work on it, along with my TF Corsair, though that one just needs a little paint work and clear coat, then I can install the radio and engine.
So this winter I hope to finish the Citabria, rebuild the front of the T-Clips, repair the Biper, maybe just fix the fuse and forget about making it a bi-plane, make new scale struts and seal up the lower fuse where the bottom wing attached and then I will have two 1/5th Cubs, one customer painted, and one in the scale colors. Once those are done and out of the way I will go back and finish the Corsair and then the Mustang. Hopefully next season I keep the wreckage down to a minimum like I have done the past 2 years. I made up for my not crashing anything for two years this year for sure with 5 crashes. Only one was a dumb thumb, the rest were either misjudgement of distance, or dead stick/mechanical failure. Could have been worse, when the elevator stuck in the up position on my SSE, it could have gone in badly, but I was able to bring it down to the runway, and close enough down so that when it stalled the last time it only fell a few feet. It was a sight to see.

I found Hells Angels online - apparently downloadable. Maybe this will help a bit.
Watched it here, too. Old, but not half bad at all, considering its age.
