Galloway E-types by Ian Johnston
Hi Folks, I live in rural Galloway, in south west Scotland. Over the last two days I have seen either three or four smart E-types pootling around the area. Trust me, this is a remarkably high number. Is there a rally going on somewhere here, or has there maybe been one in Northern Ireland? Ian --

Tim Birkin bio? by peter_mcqueen@hotmail.com
I don't know a thing about cars or car racing, but I recently saw "Full Throttle" with Rowan Atkinson (mainly because Atkinson was in it), and it got me interested. I was wondering if there actually was a bio written about Birkin as depicted in the movie, and if so where it might be found. I am also interested, what is the top speed that race cars get up to these days? I know this is...

Fast and cheap classic? by CML
I hae been toying with the idea of getting a classic and hiding it away in a remote garage for weekend blasts. I used to own an MGB GT which I enjoyed enormously, but I found it a tad slow. I haven't got oodles of cash but I don't mind driving something a bit tatty (two to three thousand at most). My question is: are there any decent classics (60s or early 70s ideally) that are also capable of...

Top Gear on E and DB by CML
Did we all see Clarkson and co. try an E-Type and a DB5? They were certainly charmed by the looks (almost impossible not to be). However, Clarkson was not impressed by the performance at all. A bit embarassing really. Modern cars are really very fast, even terribly ordinary ones with no sporting pretentions. What Clarkson and Co. failed to point out though is that have to thrash the car,...

Ford Cortina MkII alternator retrofit by spork.sporkman@gmail.com
Hello, Yesterday I was helping a friend replace his alternator in a MkII. He was going from a unit with a built-in voltage regulator to a two-piece setup (alternator + external regulator). It seems to work - 12V when not running, then the voltage rises when the car is running and tops out at 13.8V when revved. One problem... There is a blue wire coming from the tachometer that

Revitalising an Acid Battery ????? by tby
Revitalising an Acid Battery ????? I've a fairly new acid battery but its gone flat through non use over a couple months (not through a quick discharge). It now seems to have a dead (or at least bloody lazy) cell and though it will charge to 12 volts, quickly drops back to 10V, and does not have the guts to realy tutn the engine over quickly.

Silly boy by Dave Plowman (News)
Had a rear wheelarch repair panel fitted on the SD1 by a local firm at a good price and they made a good job. They removed the rear door to do it. When I got it back, the electric window didn't work, so today I decided to have a look. The silly boy had disconnected everything electrical inside the door to remove it - rather than taking the B post cover off (four self tappers) and unplugging two...
