Hardly back from his
trip to South Africa and probably not yet recovered from jet lag, but David

Ys at Weddings.
David

Seven 'new' web links
have been added to the Personal web pages on the Links page:
a "system driven" translation of the Russian page - one of the first pages on
the links page nearly four years ago, and three pages in French, with links to ."system
driven" translation of them. All up they make for interesting reading.

Tracy is able to supply excellent reproduction brake bleeder tins and tubes, and
tyre pumps. Information can be seen on our
Toolkits page. I recently had my carburettors rebuilt for my YT
which I am restoring in the US by Joe Curto - superb job. Joe
Curto (carburettor rebuilds and more) and Bill Tracy have been added to the

This month's Picture of the Month
is of an interesting conversion carried out on a Y Type - into a Woody
Countryman or Station Wagon. The photograph was taken
in the late 1960s / early 1970s in a scrap yard in Cyprus. If you know
anything about this car, please contact the
Webmaster as we would love to know more about it and have a photograph of it in happier days. The "woody" theme continues into <a href="../artist.shtml">
Artist's Impressions as coincidentally Willem van der Veer sent me a drawing
of a woody Y concept car he was designing when he came across an older drawing
by B Oudejans. Scott Barrow has also been thinking about making a woody Y
from the remains of Y 4099 and he had also sent me a drawing.
The Reprinted
Article is from the Sacred Octagon, August 1992 and is about Sandy
Henderson's Y 6089. This car is also featured on our
Interesting Y's page - Y 6089.
John Jebb has also sent in some additional pictures for
inclusion on Neil Cairn's article on Sister Cars
(link on this page in the side column).
The Register are organising a driving tour of the Ardennes,
France, for May 25 - 30 inclusive. Full details are on the
Events page but Paul Gresser (event co-ordinator)
will make hotel bookings as soon as he knows names of those wishing to take
part. He would like names please by the latest February 10th in
order that he may book the hotels, so for costs etc. please contact him direct.
There is an email link and phone number onthe
Events page for him. Also, don't forget to book your place on the
UK Spring Run, also full details are on the
Events page for this. And then there is the Pendine Dash.
Details and a link to the application form can be found on the
Events page.
Andrew Coulson is also looking for an indication of numbers for
attendance at the 12th Ripon Old Car Show.
