... Its a fine looking car whatever wheels you put on it - but the black suits it better, IMO. Can I just ask what camera you use and if you use a filter? ...
Have to agree there a bit, but I always wanted a set of these Wolfrace wheels for the DHC ... (and see previous post )
As for the camera(s) most pictures of the driving events or while working on th ecars are shot with a Canon G1-X (shooting in RAW with camera set on manual or Av-1). Compared to my other two (DSLR) camera it is rather compact and light. And gives very good quality pictures. And I do have a calibrated Eizo photo-screen, and all photos are "developed" using CameraRAW and PS CS6, no filters used.

Did encounter a small problem during the 10CR, namely the original fan shroud didn't fit properly on the new radiator. Decided to fabricate a new shroud that would envelop the fan completely making the fan more efficient and keep the engine bay a bit cleaner.

Finished a service of the car today, in preparation for the Taith O Amgylch Cymru. A summary of the things I encountered; Spark plugs which looked pretty good after nearly 24.000 kilometres;
A fuel filter that has seen some water pass through;
A new fuel pump because the one I fitted the day before last years 10CR also developed a leak;
And rather murky "running-in" gearbox oil, glad I decided on an oil change;

Started the preparations for the 2015 10CR today ... well sort off With both my TR7's officially of the road for three months from tomorrow, it is time to start on some typical winter jobs. This weekend I started with dusting of an AutoCad file I created almost three years ago.
This was converted into the design software as provided by Schaeffer AG.
But before hitting the 'order" button I first have to find some countersunk M8 x 40 mm Allen head bolts with the correct (DIN) head dimensions. Something to sort the coming week.

just been reading your blog and wondered if you could not use the TR3 insulating blocks? You would have to use longer screws and have about 10mm space between carbs and wing but they might just work.
