Info

By the time you read this, the speed competitions will have started,but too early to have any results. As the Register’s 50 th Anniversaryyear, 2011 should see a greater number of Triple-M cars out on theroad and, with luck, entering the many competitions, formal and informal,that present themselves. At the very least, do try to enter some ofthe driving test/ gymkhana / concours events that abound throughoutthe Spring, Summer and Autumn months. With over 3,500 cars on theRegister, we ought to be able to put on a really good display of Triple-Mmachinery in our Anniversary year.It may be too late to enter the SW Centre’s Kimber Classic Trial andGymkhana, taking place over the weekend of the 16 th and 17 th April,but you might be lucky if this publication comes out in time. The newstart venue for the trial, at the Lanes Hotel, West Coker, will be awelcome change from the Sherborne venue. There is also the Saturdayevening dinner to look forward to, although it has to be stated thatthis writer will NOT be the guest speaker, contrary to previous informationgiven. Taking part in the trial is not a pre-requisite for entering theSunday Gymkhana, so come along and try your hand at that.The main event of the Year will, of course, be the week of Register’sAnniversary celebrations in June culminating with the Gala Dinner onThursday 23 rd, and continuing over the weekend as part of the MainClub’s Silverstone Race Meeting. Later, in September, there is theContinental Triple-M Normandy Rally, centred in Hambye and organisedby John and Lavinia Bevington. Anyone who has experienced theBevington’s organisation and hospitality in the past, will realise this isnot an event to miss. Unfortunately the October trial, that has beenheld in the countryside around Hambye for the past fifteen years willnot be taking place, so if you were thinking of joining that group, thinkagain and come along in late September to join in the fun. PhilipBayne-Powell is acting as co-ordinator on the British side of the Channel.
Triple-M Technical ArticlesFrom Peter Hemmings, LibrarianThese days many Triple-M owners post their technicalqueries on the website discussion forums (www.triplemregister.org)and often get swift answers to their questions.However over the seventy plus years that our cars have beenon the road, most of the issues people come across havebeen covered in some form or other in a technical articleproduced either by the MG Car Company or by the Registerand others in past Yearbooks, Infoletters or Bulletins.There is an excellent and comprehensive Technical Indexcompiled by enthusiast Pat Mullen available on-line at theNorth American MMM website (www.nammmr.org) but thiscurrently is only updated to 2003. Of course having trackeddown the appropriate article the reader is still faced with thedifficulty of obtaining a copy. It has to be said this is probablywhy the discussion forums are so useful, unless you arefortunate enough to have a comprehensive library of relevantmaterial at home, or access to a real live “expert”!The Register Library can help to a degree because we holda good stock of back issues of Yearbooks which are availablefor sale, those relevant being listed below. Not only are thetechnical articles comprehensive and often well illustrated,but there is the bonus of other interesting historical, competitionand restoration articles that are a continuing feature of theTriple-M Yearbook.1979: Running repairs for the SU Pressure Pump - reprint oforiginal SU leaflet.1988/9: “Off your rockers” or why your Triple-M runs UGH! -Mike Allison1991: A paper element in MMM oil filters - John Harris.SU Petrolift - Bob Farnum1992: An electric fan for your J2 - Bob Farnum.White metalling - Mark Welbourne.
