VR6Pete

I'm there on the VR6OC Club Stand, with my Corrado on its first outing since rebuilding!

Get multi meter on the terminals mate see if you had power. When I was fitting new switches to my visors I'd noticed all the solder joints had broken.

Cant remember the last time I owned a watch, given my phone is on me all the time, and its probably vibrates at least a 100 times a day with notifications / emails I generally know what the time is already :) Even if I wore a watch, id still check my phone!

Looks Gash!! like something my granddad would have worn in the 80's! LOL

I am really looking forward to this one :) I've also booked up a date in September for 2014 and that was the earliest date they could do for 2014! LOL Cant wait to get a sense of the history, and the smells, im sure it will have the hairs on my neck standing up!

Taxed it. Booked in for 4 wheel alignment and getting wheels balanced Friday. Who's going Santapod on Sunday?

Get it done guys :)

Had it a few times today

Why?

Yes same here, I imagine the proportion of people wanting a corrado script badge over a supercharged is quite one sided :) and would be a right money spinner for whoever produces the badge!

In all of 10 years having VR's I've never known about this valve :) I recently got a Samco kit, and there's no note regarding this valve, and I've never fitted it to any of my previous VR's when having samcos either

Is there? News to me, I'll take a look at my old set tonight and let you know

BROOKLANDS - the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, constructed at Weybridge, Surrey in 1907 - was more than a great sporting arena. Brooklands was the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation, home of Concorde and the site of many engineering and technological achievements throughout eight decades of the 20th century. The Museum displays a wide range of Brooklands-related motoring and aviation exhibits ranging from giant racing cars, motorcycles and bicycles to an unparalleled collection of Hawker and Vickers/ BAC-built aircraft, including the Second World War Wellington Bomber, Viking, Varsity, Viscount, Vanguard, VC10, BAC One-Eleven and the only Concorde with public access in South East England. Brooklands Museum Trust is an independent charitable trust whose aims are to preserve and interpret the heritage of Brooklands and to use that heritage to inspire and educate future generations. There will be an opportunity to park your VR6 / R32 on the famous banked track of the Brooklands circuit for a great photo opportunity at an additional cost of £10 per car.

The London Bus Museum houses a remarkable collection of around 35 buses and coaches, the largest collection of working historic London buses in the world. About two thirds are owned by the Trust and the remainder by individual members. Some buses have been fully restored and have won many awards, while others will be restored in the restoration workshops in the new building. The vehicles are all of London origin and date from about 1875 to 1979 and are arranged in a timeline from the early horse bus to more modern buses similar to those on London’s streets today. Items of street furniture and other artefacts and memorabilia related to bus operations in London are also on display, from uniforms to ticket machines, medals, signs and examples of works of art for which London Transport received many awards. The new London Bus Museum is a must for enthusiasts and families alike and has been incorporated into the well-established Brooklands Education Programme. There will also be the opportunity to ride on vintage bus services at special events through the year.
