Dang: Labor Day weekend is the Lime Rock Vintage Grand Prix. Got tickets to that already. Was hoping for some TDr company in CT–or on the ride up?

I just sent @crash55 a pm about this.  Unfortunately, I have to go to Chicago for work on Thursday and Friday and we’ll miss the Grand Prix this year.  It’s a bummer but I’m already looking forward to next year.

Tom,

Apologies! Over the past few weeks, we have rebuilt the web site and implemented new forum software. The instructions in this thread are for the old forum.

We’ll write new instructions! Stay tuned….

@Royal – Sorry it won’t work out for you but we will definitely be at the Air and Auto so we’ll see you there!

Disregard the seatback mounting feet.  I probably could  have fabricated something that would have work but without dimensions it would be hit or miss at best. So I ordered a complete setback adjuster set from MG Magic. This eliminates all the difficulty and frustrations. I also ordered a set of wind wing hardware.

Vicenc, What a great idea.  I wish I could, but I regret that I will not be able to attend.  Thanks for the invite, I appreciate the invite.

I still am planning on seeing many of you this fall in Virginia Beach at the Air & Auto Show.

I’m trying to decide whether to drive my TDr or my Classic Mini to the show.  My Mini is nice and a lot of fu…[Read more]

Here’s a possible plan to see if we have any takers.

Date – either Saturday, 03 Sept, or Sunday, 04 Sept.  This is labor day weekend which will allow a buffer for travel and the long range forecast for those days shows good temperatures and low chances of rain. The dates are not set in stone, they are just a proposal, so if anyone has a s…[Read more]

Okay call me stupid.  Where is the “full reply editor icon”?  Because the quick editor (which presumably I’m using here) seems to want me to type in locations extensions, etc.

Oops, somehow I’m not on the list or the map. Looks like I’m alone here in Maine!

Oh, almost forgot, there are some additional ‘profile fields’ presented when registering that you can fill in at anytime in your profile. They are on the screenshot above.

Location –> City, State, etc.

TD Replica –> they type(s) of replicas you have

Donor –> What’s it built on.

I was thinking of adding latitude and longitude with a…[Read more]

Good news, at least from the administrative side of the site, it looks like the new registration form is really cutting down on spammers! This will free up more of my available time to work on other site changes.

Thanks also to @rosebud-and-bill for reporting one spammer we missed that got in before the new form was in place. Anyone can report a…[Read more]

Great Find Stephen!  Noticed that the reference to the British Coach Works “Model 52” is from before the GM engined (Chevy Chevette/Pontiac 1000) and factory built cars were available.

I’m still learning about my own car and this site, but the front engined BCW TDr variation had a custom frame based on the original TD and did not use the GM…[Read more]

It was definitely a golden age, I think.
