A day at the races. Hot Rods. Flattys. 4 Bangers. Bends. Spins. What's not to like? VHRA THROTTLE.
Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage.
The VHRA organised a new event. The Throttle Auto Races at Bicester. So jump in with me and Geoff as I thrash the 33 and the old Crusty Flatty to within an inch of it's life. Many thanks to Neil and the Sidewinders for putting on such a great event.
I Hope you enjoy this offering. Don't forget: Keep it real! Keep it cheap!
Thanks for joining me once again in Mart's Garage.

The Old Ford Rally is an annual event and a must for any ford enthusiast. It's hosted at the museum at Gaydon so I had a wander about the Jaguar Daimler heritage trust building and saw a few little gems there. On the sa...

    Love these vans and definitely on my future shopping list. Currently have my first car an Austin A35 van and a Ford model Y van. Though unfortunately my A35 van has been replaced by the Ford in the garage so isn’t quite as clean as this beauty, though by no means rough. Really needs to both be stored inside, though can’t quite bring myself to sell the Ford.

      Hi Phil. Old Crusty sounded a bit rattly on the way home. I think the old trooper has thrown the towel in. I used a Pilot sender with a Pop gauge on my 32. I used a 5v usb port to power it. Works great.

    Well this was a real treat Mart. Als 41 rear fender should knock out with a little work, I had an "ouch" moment with the same on my one a while back. Any body man with the talent of Scott from CWM should be able to do a good job of it. Pity Geoff couldn't enter his MK1. That Zephyr powered rod sounded nice, they have a distinctive sound, I knew what it was before you mentioned it. Thanks for this.

    Hi Mart, many thanks for the mention and it was nice to meet you and talk about and comparing our respective 100e's. It's a shame that we ended up on the back of a car transporter but thankfully the fix was easy, took 10 minutes - most of that was finding the replacement HT leads!. This was a great event and we will be back in future years.
