I had to travel up to Leicester yesterday and as that's almost driving past Canley Classic's front door I thought I'd drop in and see Dave. I used to do this very regularly but work hadn't been taking me that way recently - too many Norwich trips! I'm hoping for a change of scenery - less Norwich and more Exeter, Liverpool and a threat of India too! So anyway, knowing that I would be passing I threw in some more Lucas Injection equipement I'd found in the garage - I'd been tidying up a few days ago and it had dropped out of the bottom of a box I was moving - right onto my foot! It was a metering unit, pipes and injectors - useful stuff :-) I think I've found it all now but as I couldn't remember where this set came from there could well be more in there somewhere! As it turned out, I was late leaving Leicester and Dave was under orders to get away promptly - it was his youngest daughter's birthday afterall, so we didn't get much chance to cha...

Find Music You'll Love - Pandora One of the guys off the Club Triumph forum suggested this music website. As I was a bit bored I gave it a click and what a great resource! You just tell it a track you like and it goes off and finds some stuff you might like - and it's pretty spot on! Run it in the background like a radio station, very good.

I'll need bigger fuel capacity for the Vitesse although fuel injection should give me improved economy, and of course that's why I'm fitting it :-) The answer is either a twin tank arrangement al la works rally cars or a bespoke tank - I favour the bespoke idea. Making a tank to sit across the car behind the rear seats. However, such a tank would cost a fair amount and would have to be made up for me from scratch, I don't think I'm really up to the job. So back to twin tanks - put two Vitesse tanks in and you lose all your booot space,yes you do get huge fuel capacity, it's kinda overkill. I was chewing the fat over this with Dave Pearson - he's got experience of twin Vitesse tanks and he thinks they were a contributory factor in his 10 Countries Run drive shaft failure. wo Vitesse tanks full of fuel are heavy! So, the solution is twin Herald tanks - smaller, lighter get bigger than one Vitesse tank. We have the added bonus that the piping already in place c...
