SUCCESSFUL 2016 UK NATIONAL RALLY AT HATTON COUNTRY WORLD

The Club held it's UK 2016 annual rally over the weekend of 10th - 12th June with a welcome return to Hatton Country World in Warwickshire, & despite some changeable weather, it was dry enough at the right times to enable us to enjoy the Saturday afternoon road run, & have a get together around the display of cars on Sunday afternoon & make the usual awards to the best of each class at the show. Enjoy the rest of the summer - here's some photos from the rally.

New radial tyres on my 4/50
On a personal note, driving up to Hatton on damp roads was enough to persuade me to at last give up on my cross ply tyres, & get a modern set of radials.  Looking around & asking Club members, the Vredestein Sport Classics came out well on looks compared to the tall cross plies, & the equivalent size to my old 5.50 x 15's seemed to be 165/R15, so I've now got a full set on all 5 wheels plus brand new inner tubes, & I'm looking forward to a more compliant ride, & to NOT sliding the back end of the car out on wet roundabouts!
