I’ve just republished my Register of trials-prepared Marlins, with updates to six of the cars listed. The Register is linked from the Marlin Roadster page – scroll to the bottom of the page. Any more comments/ updates gratefully received.
Cotswold Clouds section list updated
In anticipation of the 2019 Cotswold Clouds on Sunday, I have updated my list of the sections used for the Clouds from its first running in 1962 up to last year (2018). I’m still missing quite a lot of records from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1990s, so if you have any route cards or results…
Marlin Roadster page re-published
I’ve just updated, and re-published, the Marlin Roadster page, complete with a comprehensively updated Register of Trials-Prepared Marlins (open the Marlin Roadster page and scroll down to find a link to the PDF file). All the information is from sources in the public domain or has been provided to me by owners and ex-owners over…
Troll T6 page updated
I’ve just updated the Troll T6 page, with a number of updates to the Troll T6 Register and updated information about the Troll T4. 7 January 2019. Page re-formatted with a couple of further, minor, content updates.
Minor design changes
I’ve made some minor design changes to the site in anticipation of more frequent updating during 2019: the About page is now the Home Page; the Recent Posts are now shown in the sidebar; the header image has been removed; the header menus have been tidied-up; and the Miscellany page has been updated.
Documents page updated
I’ve made some minor updates and corrections to the Documents page, and consequent corrections to some of the Trials pages.
The ‘Perfect Trial’?
Day 6 of Michael Leete’s research project, over on the Classic Trials Facebook Group and available from this link, has caused to me think, once again, about the formula for a ‘Perfect Trial’, as discussed many times in the past but maybe unknown to recent newcomers to the sport. Tony Branson once referred to this…
The Golden Age of British Motoring
I’ve just re-published, with very minor editing, the page from my previous Wheelspin website which lists lots of information about the (in)famous large-format book of Brunell photographs by Roy Bacon. Read more here. The cover of my version (1995, reprinted 1996) looks different from the one that Mark Milne has posted here on Facebook, so…
Cotswold Clouds page updated
I have just updated the list of sections used for the Cotswold Clouds Trial. I will shortly be: Adding the information for the events from 1996 to 2003. Updating the information about the Grid References. If anyone has any information about the sections used from 1972 to 1981, and from 1992 to 1995, do please…
MCC Night Runs (yet again)
The issue of MCC Night Runs, and whether they should continue, has been raised, yet again, on the Classic Trials Facebook Group – see my previous blog posting on this site. As someone who loves the fact that MCC trials require tackling observed sections at night, but who hates the Touring Assembly and the hanging-around…
