Chat The shortest day is behind us so we can start to look forward to the beginning of the season – OK it’s still a while away, but time flies…unfortunately! And I hope you all enjoyed the festive season. Sorry I couldn’t make the Christmas Party – that must be the second year I’ve missed it. Need to earn a crust and all that. And as it’s the season of good cheer, I can’t find anything to rant about – which makes writing the chat all the more difficult. I was reading something on t’internet earlier that explains how it is that even though 21st December is the shortest day, the mornings don’t start to get lighter earlier until the 2nd of January – all to do with technical stuff like the fact that a day isn’t actually exactly 24 hours long. Confused? I was until I thought about it. So I’ve worked out that we need to do the prize-giving at our shows 15 seconds earlier than we actually do, and that should stop everyone getting wet at the critical moment. Those of you that know that I spend far too much time in London will understand that I have now totally lost it and should be committed at the earliest opportunity… Looks like there could be one or two interesting developments in the coming year, but I can’t say too much yet (as I don’t actually know what they are myself!) – but keep a look out for new stuff as and when we organise it.

On this occasion we were allotted a full car parking area for our classic car display. The route into the site had been changed at the last minute so new direction signs were quickly re allocated for the new way in. Other than that all went well without any further technical hitch…. As each car arrived they were parked up and issued with the program of events for the day …..here is a small list of the attractions :Hot Street food, lantern parade, various choirs, Santa’s Grotto, Street entertainers, Victorian re enactment groups, Fair ground, Roast chestnuts & mulled wine, White Shire horses & white carriage on parade with of course Father Christmas ….and that’s not all ... Christmas market & Shops open. What a pleasant way to start Christmas and indeed finish our Rally Season off... About 20 odd cars attended, the gazebo providing a central social and meeting point. Mrs Crosby attending to the afore mentioned program distribution and issuing the club magazine to the general public who again showed great interest in our display, and on the strength of this one or two may have signed up and joined the club…… At half time we were able to enjoy some of the activities and catch a little lunch ….The street food was very enjoyable and street entertainers brilliant….Marie Lloyd and all that…. great day. We were informed that a program of Summer activities was being planned for 2015 such as a 1940’s weekend, The Canal Beer and Music Festival and others all of which we are cordially invited to join in as a club. I am sure we can bear some of this in mind for our next years calendar So as the light started to fail it was time to pack up and give our thanks to the organisers for the invitation to an exceptional great seasonal event. Hears hoping they had a Merry Christmas & looking forward to Prosperous New Year . R.

Return of the Black Finger nail Here we are again folks with some dam good handy hints…. for 2015 How to drill rubber ??? Drilling a piece of rubber as you may know can be difficult especially when the piece winds itself round the drill bit and lashes out to anybody standing nearby… A recommended solution is to rub a little Vaseline on it and use a small diameter piece of copper pipe as a drill bit ...

FBHVC Below are various extracts from the current FBHVC news letter which stands for the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs an organization that supports classis car clubs that we feel maybe of interest. Discontinuance of the Tax Disc: The tax disc is no more. We think it important also to remind everyone that a seller should never part with the V5C/2 tear off until the sale is complete and he has the buyer’s money. Another unsatisfactory aspect was that we were not able to see the online taxing process before it was introduced. Now it has appeared, our concern that the printable document resulting from online taxation would not satisfy overseas law enforcement officers as evidence that the vehicle is in fact taxed has proved correct. We will continue to press for a more convincing final output of the online process. FUEL NEWS by Matthew Vincent Ethanol-free petrol: what are the prospects? For those who aspire to an ethanol-free life (as far as their historic vehicles are concerned, that is) and wish to use exclusively petrol which does not contain ethanol in their historic vehicles, some recent developments may be of interest. Firstly, British Motor Heritage (BMH), a company more commonly associated with accurate replicas of 1960s British car body-shells, has launched a UK supply of petrol guaranteed to be ethanol-free. This initiative has been fairly widely publicized in the media in recent weeks, but to summarise: BMH will offer two grades of 100 octane quality petrol, i.e. with or without lead. The fuels will be offered in two different volume containers, the smaller of just under 19 litres, or just over four imperial gallons, while the larger container is the industry standard drum of 205 litres nominal volume (45 imperial gallons). This takes us on to the final issue: how much petrol can be stored at home? This used to be a bit of a thorny issue, with cases of people hoarding petrol during supply difficulties resulting in a successful prosecution on at least one occasion. Fortuitously however, new petrol regulations have just been published under the heading of ‘The Petroleum (Consolidation) Regulations 2014 (PCR)’. The PCR came into effect on 1 October 2014, which dovetails neatly with the announcement by BMH of their new offering. For full chapter and verse on the legal issues and requirements it is best to seek out details of the PCR on the internet. However, a brief inspection reveals an approach which might be regarded as surprisingly helpful to those desiring to avoid ethanol in their petrol. In brief, up to 30 litres of petrol may be stored in either suitable containers, or a demountable petrol tank, without the need to notify the authorities, provided the total volume of petrol stored does not exceed 30 litres. The reference to a 30 litre demountable petrol tank covers the limitation on the volume of additional fuel which may be carried on or in a historic vehicle, over and above the fuel contained in a full petrol tank, to increase its range. If it is desired to store a greater volume, up to 275 litres can be stored provided certain requirements are complied with. To store a drum (205 litres) of ethanol-free petrol for example, would require an Individual to notify the local Petroleum Enforcement Agency (PEA) in writing. Storage requirements do not appear to be unduly restrictive, but would need to be clarified formally with the PEA. It would appear therefore that in principle, the bare bones of a strategy which could allow owners of historic vehicles to run them on ethanol-free petrol, and to overcome the range-limiting difficulties which this might imply, are at hand. As ever though, the devil is in the detail, and all those wishing to store ethanol-free petrol at home should check out the relevant regulatory documents to ensure both compliance with the law, and commonsense safe practice. The new regulations may be found on the following link. www.hse.gov.uk/ fireandexplosion/petroleum-regulations-2014. YTCC Committee Meeting round up The December committee meeting had one apology and main topics were:- different venues for club stands will be confirmed, as far as possible, for the year at the January meeting. These will appear in the following months’ Hornblower. The possible Tadcaster Brewery show is looking more likely and we are talking to the organisers to firm up arrangements should this go ahead. This was the first meeting for our new Web Master Stuart Avison and you will hear more from him regarding the website in due course. The other change to the committee is Keith Parker who is now Social Secretary. The dates for our 2015 shows are: Crow Nest 04/05, Locke Park 14/06, Locke Park 09/08, Wilton Park 06/09, Crow Nest 24/10. Dates for your diary. There was a discussion on an alternative venue for the Wilton Park event which takes place in September and when details are confirmed we will let you know via the Hornblower. Please remember to give us feedback good or bad.
