Graham Lane Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 A large box of toy cars for me to play with arrived a few moments ago! All look safe and sound in a very professional-looking box. Well done guys. Just the right amount of time to get them all checked over and prepped for action. I'll keep you posted.

snurfen Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Looking forward to seeing all the cars in a few weeks in Assisi. Should all be ready to pack away when I arrive late Friday (driving in from Rome). The racing will be great fun and we'll have a week of drinking the finest coffee in the world.

Graham Lane Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Round 10 is scheduled for 3rd and 4th October, the two days prior to the Mini Monte Carlo rally. That is when it will happen because several of the MMC drivers will have arrived and we'll be able to run the event much better. In the meantime here are some photos of the car I've prepared for my son Tom, winner of the Mini Mille Miglia 20011, to drive in the WRC category of the MMC. .

Graham Lane Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 The cars were unpacked and we gave each one a lap of our Ninco circuit to determine any problems. No 82 of Dave Kneale. The right-hand rear wheel departed and we found the hub was cracked. A common problem with push-on wheels and one that can be fixed with a piece of tube or washer to keep the crack closed. We'll give it a fix. Andy 'demon tweeks' is also from the Isle of Man so get him to show you how he did his. No 15 of Andy 'Demon Tweeks'. Ran very slowly and smoke was pouring out of the motor. On my test bed back home I ran it again and, once the smoke cleared, it went faster and faster. I think it had just been over-oiled and it got on the commutator. With the cars doing so few laps and getting oiled at each round it's easily done. After all, we wouldn't oil the cars every six minutes in a 24 hour race, would we? No 21 The owner had emailed me to say to ask if I would check the guide. It seems fine to me and the car ran OK. So, on with the show!

Ember Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I think at the moment they are all busily sleeping off a pizza and vino binge. But Graham has had a very busy time of it running the WRP, playing hostess and then running MMC. I expect we'll get the report on Monday or Tuesday. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

snurfen Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Some very delicate casualties floating about yesterday, good grapes in this part of the world, so visitors are obliged to show their appreciation as often as possible. There has been a bit of an issue with us accessing wifi, but we hope to have it sorted tonight, after another full days racing. So results will be up on the not too distant future. As a first time visitor, I've been absolutely bowled over by the club setup here. I've taken a few walk around vids, I'll get them posted in a weeks time when I get home, so you can get a feel for Graham's fantastic club. Ciao bella and all the hairy fellas. Ps, the grub, booze and coffee here is probably the best refreshment in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Lane Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Just to let you know that the last four days have been completely manic and I haven't had a moment to report back. But we're having a great time and there will be lots of photos and video footage. Dave Capelen has been crunching the numbers for Round 10 and they should be published tomorrow.
