Gentlemen i would dearly like you all to come and visit "UP NORTH" the land of flat caps Whippets and pigeons,try the local culinary delights of Tripe,black pudding,chitterling and bag,beer with a propper head and taste,marvel at the loss of british industry, but sadly i realise the fuel costs to carry out that type of mileage in a T.C would be prohibitive prehaps if you have a nice win on the lottery who knows?:shock: Had always wondered why most of the shows were in the south, know i know why!!!

As far as i can recall, most of the shows were in the south in the past because that was where we always had the best turn-outs Russ, fuel had nothing to do with it :roll: , and if you remember the last MMOC National was organised by Paul in the NORTH, Having decided to make it fair for everyone by rotating the national, this year it will be in the WEST Country, so i trust we will see your cheery faces in the sunny westcountry in the summer chaps!

By the way , where is Paul ?? :?
I can get 35 M.P.G.!

This is the tuning modification that's GUARANTEED to improve your t.c. fuel consumption.....
...If not the state of your Y fronts
Fuel consumption figures of 35 M.P.G. are possible with a T.C., you just need the right accessories!!!!!.

Bit of an odd way of towing Brian for weight distribution?!

Why bother with all that lot when you can tune it properly and just drive it! Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:34 pm
Yes but if you put it on nose first , the weight of the B series overcame the custom 9 leaf roadsprings & coilover gas spax fitted to the estate.
