It was the Vintage Sports Car Club Scottish trial today near Biggar, South Lanarkshire. Myself and a mate who I go marshalling at various motor events went up to help. Up at 4-30am, left at 5am and drove over to my mates for 6am arriving at the signing on at 7-am. No-one there and it turned out we were an hour early. Some one got an earwigging. I could have had an extra hour in bed. After signing on and a free breakfast of bacon rolls and coffee we drove off to our first section. The VSCC trials are hill climb events, mainly in forests and unsurfaced tracks. I did take my camera and managed to take 4 photo's before the battery went flat. The photo's don't really show the steepness of the hill, so you'll just have to accept my word that it was very steep. 45 degrees towards the top. Bad enough walking up and down it. Only about 10 out of the 51 entered made it to the 25 marker. Then had to reverse down. 

I'm not. Done that before. I would have fitted the nipple in the axle, but that wasn't possible due to the construction of it. Box section with a tube through it for the bolt. Possibly bushed but I didn't look.

We have done a bit more on the G14 and it is good to see it starting to go back together

A little more progress on the G14, hopefully we will have a bit more time soon

Progress is still very slow due to other commitments and may be even slower for a while as my cameraman now has flu. We have the clutch and driveshaft out of the tractor and found the problem, details in the latest video

This strange saw uses a blade with teeth on it which are like a chainsaw. Cuts about a 3/4 inch size dado joint into lumber and is believed to be used for lumber framing. 2 passes will make a groove to fit a 2 x 4 standard US stud
