To be fair, there are many different skill levels in Vintage Racing and it takes a few years to get comfortable at speed. I'm sure the RX7 will be very quick with more seat-time

It's up to the driver and the numbers that are already spoken for in the club in the same classification. We used to run #35 and if there was another 35 that day, we would become 135 or 351 with the help of some black duct tape

Surprised! Typically a Sprite is ONLY competitive with Other sprites .. as they are NOT quick cars regardless of $$$ spent on them. 3/4 of the cars on that track should have / would have left the Sprite for dead. in a real race. Absolutely So the Minis and Lotii. Unless of course they weren't actually racing but simply having a nice 'outing' .

They're fast and in Vintage Racing, depending on the organization, the cars can be set up to very high spec. It's amateur racing, not professional and the drivers vary in skill and experience but It's extremely thrilling and difficult to win. Thanks for watching

So how i get the oil seal out of the rotors is pull outside bearing put nut back on snatch rotor off the bearing and seal will be left behind takes less than 30 sec hope this will save u alot of time for the other side if the nut wont go tru the center of rotor get a brass punch and knock the bearing out on the table and a block of wood for clearance hope this makes sense !!

“Carefully prise” is one of those dread-inducing phrases throughout old British instruction manuals. The opposite end of the scale is the delightfully vague “nip it up.” Thanks for the great episode and ride in your Land Rover!

By the way, this episode demonstrates the need for a variety of bearing and seal prising and installation tools, which may appear to be junk or garbage to those unacquainted with British cars.

Just found your channel and am enjoying it. The steel portion of the seat box you cleaned and painted is riveted to the aluminium part of the seat box. I would suggest drilling out the rivets so that you can paint the edges and put some sealer between the steel and aluminium so that the two metals are isolated. It’s not much work (much less than taping it off honestly although you did that already). 😂
