Re: 2024 SP250 Calendars

It's that time again my good people.

Remember to ROUND UP your totals to the next X0.00 for the club !

It makes the math easier for Alan.

He won't ask, but I will.

Re: SP250 in British Columbia

Wow!!! We all know these cars. The only thing I see that is inline with reasonableness is the upholstery at a week and a half in man hours. Seriously serious monies spent and no parts list, yikes! I cannot fathom these figures in relation to rebuilding an SP. Am I the only dazed and confused one? Be...

Re: Garage Tool Sale - south Manchester 7 & 8 January 2023

Whilst glancing at said list "The Last Item" lit my interest. The number set has the correct "3" as in the body ID tag number 737-XXXX strip. Is it the same height as to attempt a replica tag although reversed ? Is there any way to tell? Maybe this set could be of 'Club' benefit?

Re: 2023 SP250 Calendars

Nice job Alan, et. al.!

Mine got here today showing a bit of scuff from handling. ( Proof of Authenticity )
But all in, I'm glad to have another chapter in the continuing adventures of so many contemporary Darts.

Re: 2023 SP250 Calendars

So all you Santa boys out there, spread a little cheer by Rounding Up your Calendar order total for the benefit of the PasSPort.
Besides it's easier math for everyone.
Chip in.
It feels good.

Happy Holidays,

What kind of fuel were they using??

I was browsing the Brian Long book and on the Outline Specification page ( 29 ) bottom right and Petrol Consumption stunned me momentarily. At steady 30 MPH it was 39.8 MPG and even more startling was at 100 MPH it was 20.3 MPG that completely stunned me! Only twice the consumption for two and a hal...

Body Tags

The original body ID tag was cut out and lost when the mods were done to my car over 20 yrs. ago and I have sought a duplicate ever since. They are of two differing numerical font types. The 737's are all the same ( from the supplier ?) and the OOOO's are all the same ( from assembly at the factory?...
