Sorry but I’m a bit behind with my updates at the moment. Hopefully I will have some time available in the next week to catch up with additions to the site.

@ The Pack Horse
Our mission on Drive It Day is to set off from North and South Manchester departure points, to gently wing our way through to a lunch time rendezvous at The Runway Visitor Park at Manchester Airport. Within short range, we will be nestled right amongst such famous aircraft as Concorde G-BOAC, Nimrod, DC-10, Trident and Avro RJX. We will first assemble for breakfast sandwiches at The Bears Paw, Warrington Road, High Legh Cheshire WA16 0RT. Simultaneously a coordinated Northern approach will be made from the Hyde area -the location as yet ‘classified’. Then a tactical entrance will be made through to the Runway Centre, and free for members displaying a car with MTSG. There will be an opportunity to tour Concorde at a discounted price.

Carburettor Adaptor
Some cars in the 1935/6/7 era were supplied with downdraft carburettors., type Solex FAI and FAIE These were fitted with a float chamber that sat directly above the exhaust manifold, and less than 2 inches away from it. Turning the carburettor round by 90 degrees, takes the float chamber away from the exhaust manifold therefore lowering the operating temperature.
Info
EventCity was a great show with some excellent cars on the stands. Here are a few photos a full report will follow shortly.
