concours next to the RAC club on Saturday and it was great, the RAC
club is a spectacular place .<br>
On Sunday we had a good run starting off at 7.56 with 4 passengers ,
my 77 year old mother and her friend were sitting on the rear seat
with their legs dangling over the the back , we did struggle a bit
getting them loaded on but plenty of help was on hand in Hyde Park.<br>
We took the rear passengers about 10 miles to Norbury , by this time I
think they had had enough and i was a bit worried of my top gear
slipping on the following hills .<br>
We reached the sea front at about 1.45 pm after a short coffee stop
and a pit stop for refulling .<br>
The Oldsmobile went very well after is 50 year rest ,but i feel that it
should have more power in top gear so there is room for improvement .</font></blockquote>
<font size="2"><font face="Arial,sans-serif"> My car has a smaller
flywheel than most , it is 50.5 inches circumference , I beleive most
are 64.5 inches , I think that this gave me better acceleration but I
lost it on the hills .<br>

This was by second visit to Brighton , we compleated it in 2000 in the
Bartholomew but had axle trouble in 2001 and 2002 .<br>
all the best ,<br>
