Re: Newbie question about the DLOC rally for 2021

Chris R is right in what he says about getting some breakdown cover and regret once there if not in a relevant car. It may be worthwhile getting some quotes from your insurer as well as the usual suspects but do shop around. The other thing is to cover the basics, spare fluids and ignition component...

So if your a member with a car but you turn up in something, that I would say is very interesting, then my experience of the members from old, I think they would be pleased to see...

Re: Waterless coolant

I don’t see it as a fit and forget solution. I would still want to follow the manufacturers guide lines and drain the system every couple of years anyway. (Even though, it is reusable most people would renew anyway).

Re: Waterless coolant

It is not allowed to be used on track. If used on a track parade, track day or competition you will be banned.

If a car is accelerating around a left hand bend then which tyre has the least force acting upon it.

Re: Proof of Climate change?

The last one hundred years and some have improved life and made life easier with invention and development. I for one want that to carry on. A lot of hope is put in the anticipation that technology will move on and solve a lot of the pollution and greenhouse gas problems. I personally hope it does b...
