Did anybody see my listing here of UK motor museums  ? 
or did I waste my
time ?
  
  
Spent the week fitting an electric (72 midget ) rev counter
into the 
Frogeye, refitting headlamps and new dipswitch - works great now
the 
wire smoke damaged wires been replaced. New ign. switch and new bulbs
and wiring for all instruments, much easier to do with steering wheel
removed and dashboard out, fitted a new felt bush in steering column.
Removed
the ground wires running from the plastic headlamp shells to 
the fibre glass
bonnet  - don't know what they were for !
Then,
Had a great ride in the
frogeye  this weekend 100 mile round trip both 
days, to Donington historic
car racing. (try googling it ) 65 mph at 
4500 rpm (speedo said 105 mph ) GPS
disagreed !
  
Did  a few laps in the car on Sunday (along with MGBs,
ETypes, Ferrari 
Dino's etc ), 7-8 frogeyes and a some midgets  turned out
for a sunny 
but windy excellent couple of days racing. (pre WW2 grand prix
cars  
bentleys Bugattis Talbots and a very pretty MG ,  LEMans cars  , a big
grid odpre 70 formula 2 cars  etc etc etc  great noisy racing - like it 
used
to be !
Oh and its not just spridgets that break halfshafts ,  an Aston
Martin 
lost a wheel at Redgate corner, the driver asked the marshels if they
would retrieve the brake shoes from the kitty litter -  I have photos
