It's not unusual for me to come back from an event with various competitors broken parts to repair overnight.

Hi Lloyd, I fixed the LSD on the Saturday night and refitted it to the car on Sunday morning. It ran perfectly! Doug.

Glad my videos are helping you. Doug

I get quite a lot of heat coming in from the central tunnel (from the water pipes and the front radiator)

Ha Ha!

This was a kit built car which used the engine, steering wheel and dashboard from an MG Metro. The body is a monocoque shell constructed from GRP. Classic BMC Mini front subframes and suspension are fitted at both ends.

PS in it to finish although all podiums/ftd's etc greatly appreciated!

Hi William, I was also thinking of bringing my Ami to Bo'ness to display at the EV event on the 31st.

The Reliant engine can be made to 'sing'!

Because engine is in the boot!

@@DougsShed no the engine is in the engine compartiment. Then there is a (hope) firewall and then the boot. 🤷🏻‍♂️

2 x Long Life 1130mm Trailer Brake Cable for Knott on Ifor Williams Brian James: eBay item number 324303150979 Needed 2 sets of 2 cables for the 4 wheels 4 x Half Shell Retaining Plate for KNOTT Brake Cables on Ifor Williams Trailer: eBay item number 194220661510 I used 8 of the half shells as I cut off the halves which were welded to the backplates.

Brilliant thank you! Mine is/are two Brian James Minnows (no longer available)

Hi Lloyd, nothing worse that a warning bleep from an engine check or ABS light. Usually means something expensive.

Hi Lloyd, luckily this was a test session and I now know not to do that again!

Disappointed he did not have a guide dog in the passenger seat.

The hillclimb track has been used in a couple of films including a remake of "The 39 Steps" and Timothy Spall's "The Last Bus"

@@DougsShed That's interesting.

Unfortunately the Ami's battery and control system work on a canbus system and hacking them is beyond my pay grade.

"Fast" is a relative term when you only have 50bhp!

@@DougsShed 😂🤣😅

Hi Niall, luckily the Jeffrey is flat floored from front to back and it does not collect grass underneath.

Hi Phil, ran out of talent and road!

What?😅

Yes it was!

Best I have ever done was 38 miles to the 3 mile warning.

Hi Lloyd, just been watching your holiday snaps from Holland. Looks like you had a nice time. It really rained on Wednesday - today's (Friday) video shows the torrential rain I encountered when out in the little electric Ami.

I'll try!

Glad it was helpful to you!

I have a few!

@@DougsShed Oh you tease 😆

Hi, it was a year 2000, A1 model

Thanks!

No point in getting stressed out.

Hi Niall, 3rd gear seems just right for the run up to the top of East Brae, 2nd gear is a bit too high a ratio for the esses. I think the Reliant Robin 4 synchro box would give me more speed through the esses.

Hi Lloyd, if you have ever seen me trying to net a fish.........🐟

Luckily the bird just flew towards the window and was easy to catch.

Thanks Lloyd, probably the best track conditions we have had in years.

@@DougsShed Hello Doug is that really a Jeffery J4 , there cant be many of them left and running in the UK ?

@@budbud2509 Hi, this is the earlier Jeffrey Mk3b which was for 750MC racing. The J4 was a road going version. The J4 was very similar to the Mk3 except it had rear suspension arms coming from the rear of the chassis to the live axle, it also had fibreglass bodywork. The J4 was reincarnated as the F27 kit car.

@@DougsShed Thanks for your reply Doug Yes I had a J4 as well !! ( it came to a sticky end in the midlands ice ) And something 'I'm not so proud of is I actually worked for Jeffery and did the Bonnet and Dashboard cover that housed the windscreen I also seem to remember that a front wing model was started and I took that over made the models for both rear wings and the other side. front wing , the nose cone was made by Jeffery himself . The fibreglass was done by a Bob Telford who went on to buy Mini Jem. Last time I saw Bob was on TV a documentary about the DeLorean project and there he was sitting in a meeting at Lotus !! I was only there for a few months ( 3 ? ) and it was very early in my career as a Pattern Maker. Yes I do remember the 3B , the chassis were built by a couple of RAF technicians from Brize Norton who seemed to do a week on and a week off. That was a few years back !!

@@budbud2509 Finally I've found someone with first-hand knowledge of George Jeffrey and the manufacture of the cars. If you would like to share any of the history, there is a Jeffrey Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/366800030074560 Doug.

A good effect of the GoPro stabilisation.

Hi John, Great weekend. I watched your video of your 'wobble' after Garden Gate!

I'm surprised that Vauxhall/Opel Corsa F owners are not seeing the same problem (same part).

Happy to help!

I would not recommend 'coasting' down hills in neutral. The electric motor is always being turned by the wheels and you could over rev the motor. At 40 mph the electric motor would be turning at almost 10000 rpm.

Hi Lloyd, I've never driven this one. I looked out the old 2007 video to post on a facebook page relating to the recent passing of the original designer/builder - Jim Sword.

Tom had Jasag4 , then Richard then Dougie Brown.
