summer of dodging rain and malfunctions for me. As usual I failed to get to a lot of events I would have wished to as priority tasks kept me in Oxfordshire. That said those I did attend were very enjoyable as was getting back in the driving seat of a 'schmiit. As you read this the bulk of the year's events have passed but much still remains to be involved in, not least our AGM where we hope to tidy up the last few rough edges and consolidate on what has been achieved over the last few years.
I managed to pop down to the Bath Rally where there was a reasonable showing of 'schmitts, mainly from the south coast under their own power. This was part of the group that also drove to Regensburg and few problems were reported from these regularly used cars. Just confirms that the more you use your 'schmitt the better it goesJust confirms that the more you use your 'schmitt the better it goes - something I proved to myself attending the MOC Lynham Rally. I commute to this along a favourite drive offering a cross section of the most beautiful country in central England dropping down from the Golden Ridge I live on, across the Thames at Lechlade to climb gently up to Burford, across the sharp Windrush valley and over the wolds to Shipton and Lynham beyond.
Interestingly the MOC run out chose a similar route in the opposite direction. The latest 'schmitt had clearly seen little use and the trip was delayed by fault correction before starting and slow pace. The details of this should appear as a separate technical report. Lynham attracted about 50 'schmitts and I am pleased to say that the welcome for the person most likely to be booed off the plot was good. Indeed it was suggested that the MOC and MEC swap magazines, a good idea. read more »
