Ray, I do love that you show such a variety of cars. Not all to my liking, but it shows that there is something for everyone. I know that not all will like what I do too.
It's so much more interesting, to me at least, that you don't post a whole lot of photos of the same car in different poses. Thanks for the effort, I get bogged down trying to do a few resizes!
Thanks for that. Funnily enough, there are pics of cars I don't really care for either! Sometimes, it just happens to be either a sample of what is going on or once in a blue moon, a half decent photograph.
In terms of resizing Rhys, if you downloaded that resizer programme, you can resize the copies in bulk. Go to the directory where the copies are stored using Windows Explorer. (Just make sure they are copies and not the originals!)
Click on the first pic and hit 'CTRL' and 'A' and that should shade/select ALL pics in that directory. Right click on 'Resize' on whatever size you want or input 750 pixels and all should be good.
Caffeine and Classics again today. Despite having been many times now, there are always cars I haven't seen there before. Always an enjoyable hour or so and more often than not, plenty of people to chat to.

Ken Williams, along with older brothers, 'Racing Ray', Dennis and Tony plus younger brother Allan must have set a world record or two when they competed in the 24 Hours Lemons.

Nice to see Kerry back - but I do NOT like cars painted matt black! At least the orange lifts it a bit. Now and again, at our daily garden centre coffee stop, there is a convertible Bentley, painted matt black with black wheels. Yeuk.

Seems I have quite a backlog to file and also that means, plenty to upload...
The great thing now about Caffeine & Classics is that clubs decide to meet there, before a Sunday drive to another location. These were taken back in August.

...and the model is, …….wait for it, ……. a car!

Of all the cars I have owned, the RME Riley would be the one I wish I had acquired when I had the facilities to restore it. (Pic is a 2.5 litre RMB.) I let mine go without touching it but was always amazed at how well it drove, even with a rattly stuffed big end. The first rear wheel drive car I had owned. Made a profit on the sale too.

EG774 a Riley Car ;
What we do know [Carjam is not perfect ] is this...
Year: 1937
Make: RILEY
Model: CAR
Colour: Green
Body Style: Saloon
Plate: EG774
Engine No: A5882
Chassis: 27A5882
Vehicle Type: Passenger Car/Van
Seats: 5
CC rating: 1,200cc
Fuel Type: Petrol
Assembly Type: Unknown
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
So as Ray says it is a " Riley Car ".
There is this though - about the plates = Rego Plates
EG774
Plate Type: Standard
Origin: NZ New
Used as: Private Passenger vehicle
Cause of Latest Registration: Re-Registered
NZ First Registration: 16-Jul-1971
NZ Last Registration: Get Full CarJam Report
Was Registered Overseas? No "
So Re-registered - presume when restored - as used to let Rego's lapse back in the day, if the car was being repaired /restored or just stored
- Then they The " Gumment ". LTSA VTNZ Dept of Transport whatever, made it that you had to Register for 3 months every two years to retain the plates.
Then continuous Registration came in so now you either Register every year or get the Plates/Rego Number put on hold for a period in order to retain the Plate .. as seems to have happened with [ was mine 1978 -85 ] Triumph TR4A.
Personalised Plates is another story - an expensive one..

Aren't we lucky that we grew up at a time when a major manufacturer brought out a new model and it was totally different from either it's competitors or predecessors.
Remember 1959? (Some of you won't of course...) but no one could confuse the Ford Anglia, Triumph Herald, Mini, Saab 95, Panhard PL17 and a whole heap more.

Always good to see a straight 8 car built by the company that made the BEST Spitfire/Mustang/Mosquito/Lancaster engines
Are you saying that Rolls Royce could not properly make their in-house designed engine ? Interesting that the Mustang was NBG without it. LOL

Thank you. We had a really great day today, lots of encouragement from everybody, and the car was well received. Most nights of the last 6 months spent out in the garage stripping, fixing, and rebuilding every part of the car was all worth it today. Unfortunately the only part of the car car we haven't touched ( fuel pump and filter ) let us down half a lap from home in the last race. But we'll get that sorted out and tune a few other things up and have another go at Manfield in a few weeks time.
It was also great to finally meet Dale Mathers today, along with Graeme Park, Adrian Dobbe, Jennifer Mossman, Richard Quinn, Bob Hyslop, and a few other people who's names I've forgotten ( or didn't hear properly because we had earplugs in ). I hope Spgeti will come and see us at Manfield so we can finally put a face to the name.
Now I just need to find a Sports Sedan for me so I can race with my brother instead of being his spanner-man ( not that I mind that though ) :cool:
Hi Andrew,
Glad you and David enjoyed yourselves.
Manfeild is my home track and I only live 2 minutes away so I will be there organising our group and give Dale a rest....yeah right !
We will catch up.
Regards
Bruce
I should point out that David and Andrew and their parents are one of those families who have put a tremendous amount of volunteer time into car club events, for many years, in their case, with the MG Car Club. We could never have run successful race events without the Metford Clan running the dummy grid.
Look forward to you getting a suitable car Andrew!
