Jason's Blog: RBRR done
http://chinn.blogspot.com/2012/10/rbrr-done.html
Monday, October 08, 2012. Well that was fun. Nigel and I finished 2000 miles in 48 hours in a car that up until 2 months ago had not been anywhere for at least 2 years and had done very little in the previous 18 or so. As you can see, we worked the car hard, at least the brakes did. It wasn't all easy and there were issues along the way but we completed the course, have a full set of signatures in our road book and more importantly still have the car, our friendship and sanity mostly intact. We'd noticed...

Jason's Blog: April 2014
http://chinn.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. Almost road test time. After yesterday's elation came the back aching job of getting all those bell housing bolts back in and the rest of the ancillaries bolted back up so I could test the refit, well it's almost done now. I've come in to get tidied up for more family duties but later today I will get it down off the stands and go for a little drive. Then it will be full steam ahead with the rest of the new interior and back on course for the Isle of Wight. Sunday, April 20, 2014.

Jason's Blog: ".....and manouvre into place."
http://chinn.blogspot.com/2014/04/manouvre-into-place.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. And manouvre into place. At least that's what the manual says. After 4 hours of heaving and swearing with Carl and a fine array of jacks, pry bars, bits of wood and foul language we are right back where we started. The damn gearbox just won't go in and I am very despondent. After Carl left and I figured out the above, I thought about having another go on my own but I was so hacked off I walked away. Time for a beer and a rethink. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). TR6 Clutch in...

Jason's Blog: RBRR entry opens soon, so I'm leaving the country :-)
http://chinn.blogspot.com/2013/11/rbrr-entry-opens-soon-so-im-leaving.html
Friday, November 08, 2013. RBRR entry opens soon, so I'm leaving the country :-). Well it's that time again, the flurry of activity that surrounds the opening of the RBRR entry list. Around that time all you Club Triumph members will get your magazines, I think it leaves the printers on the 14th or 15th so a couple of days later it should drop on your mat. It's then time to get your entries back in the post so I am expecting to come back from the US to a nice pile of paperwork. View my complete profile.

Jason's Blog: TR6 Clutch investigation (and interior replacement)
http://chinn.blogspot.com/2014/04/tr6-clutch-investigation-and-interior.html
Wednesday, April 09, 2014. TR6 Clutch investigation (and interior replacement). Blimey, it's been a long time since I did anything serious in the garage. Having found myself with some time on my hands - I'm currently looking for paid work again - I decided it was high time I sorted out the TR6 interior. When I got the car it was the interior that let it down, a bit of a mix of old and repro trim, mostly past it's best, carpets stick directly to the floor and sagging seats. I found a rather crusty looking...

Jason's Blog: Clutching at straws
http://chinn.blogspot.com/2013/05/clutching-at-straws.html
Tuesday, May 07, 2013. The Bank Holiday weekend saw me take the TR over to the annual Isle of Wight Triumph Weekend. It's a family type event, not hard core driving but getting there and back can be fun in holiday traffic, especially when loaded up with camping gear! It ran OK and apart from the windows rattling terribly (must install those new seals) I was quite pleased with it - no overheating issues despite some pretty hot ambient temps and a lot of sitting in traffic.

Jason's Blog: Clutch progress
http://chinn.blogspot.com/2014/04/clutch-progress.html
Thursday, April 17, 2014. Unfortunately Dave doesn't keep TR parts in stock and there really isn'tthat much that's common so after a pint and a lot of chat I had a spirited drive home in the Saab to order up the neccessary. No I must say that James Paddock has seriously impressed me, good prices, stock and everything arrived today, not 48 hours after ordering. Fortunately Carl is coming over on the weekend to help me heave the box back in. I've got a vinyl cover for the H frame as mine has been a little ...

Jason's Blog: I saw this and thought it was a worthy cause
http://chinn.blogspot.com/2014/04/i-saw-this-and-thought-it-was-worthy.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. I saw this and thought it was a worthy cause. Nothing to do with me but I'm all for it so I though I would give it a plug. This appeared in the Club Triumph forum. I am a serving member of the Armed Forces and am at the end of a project restoring a 1970 MG. Roadster in aid of H4H and the British Legion. You can see what we have done at http:/ www.charitybuild.co.uk. So don't get in touch with me, just go direct to the other Jason :-). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
