Apparently the staff were thrilled to see her out. Report from the Chair By John McDonald Hello again all OECC-VCB members. I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying time with your families, friends and cars. The news maker for the early part of Summer 2016 has been the weather – it has been atrocious (rainier and colder than expected for this time of the year), especially for those of us who prefer to drive with the top down. Both the July (50’s Diner Cruise-in) and the August (Stewart Farm Picnic) events had lower than the anticipated turnout due to the cold and rain. Those that did attend, however, very much enjoyed the get-togethers – great company and great socializing. There is just something special about huddling around a picnic table under an open air cover – definitely adds to the close- ness of the situation. Dinner at the 50’s Diner in Surrey was also great – the food was fantastic and plentiful and the ladies who run the restaurant went out of their way to make our experience a good one. Those who attended also enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant – lots of memorabilia. Going forward, one more Summer event is scheduled for September 6 - the Pajo’s, Gary Point, Rich- mond (Steveston) Fish and Chip Dinner and Run. The management at Pajo’s are very excited about the prospects of having our cars come to their F&C outlet (on the beach) and they are eager to meet the members of our club who work so hard to maintain our many beautiful cars. Hopefully, the great weather that we have experienced in early August will hold and we will be able to maximize the number of cars and owners that will be able to attend. The Fall events will kick off with the An- nual John and Lorna, Valley Run on Saturday, October 1. Along with the fabulous ride, that John and Lorna usually devise, it will include a very short meeting at the luncheon pub – this will be the only event (no Tuesday meeting) of the month. November 1 sees us getting together for the VCB Annual General Meeting at the Rainbow Station in Burnaby. I can not emphasize enough the importance of this meeting. The decisions made at this session will set the course for the Branch’s operation for 2017 and beyond. The 2016 Financial Re- port and Operating Summary will be reviewed and, along with several other important issues, the 2017 Events Calendar, Budget, and the Election of Officers (Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secre- tary and Treasurer) will be determined. I ask all of you to please contact me ([email protected]) or any other Executive Committee member over the coming weeks if you have any concerns that should be considered in preparation for this meeting, especially with regard to nominations for both the elected officer positions and for the volunteer Executive Committee member positions (Events Coordinator, Communications Coordinator, Membership Coordinator, Good and Welfare Coordinator, Regalia Coordinator). Your input and participation is critical to the successful opera- tion of the VCB Branch and the OECC Club as a whole. Enjoy the remainder of Summer 2016 and please stay safe in the endeavours with which you choose to partake.

In spite of the justifiable concern of our parents Anne and I were married in March of 1950. It proved to be a long lasting and happy union; we celebrated our 66 th wedding anniversary on March 20 th this year. Together we worked my way through medical school. With 2 years to go in medical school a close friend suggested that we could improve our meager incomes by selling for the Fuller Brush Company. Fuller Brush took us on and I was lucky to be given a very good territory where people were regular users of Fuller Brush products. There was a hitch: We had to have a car to do the deliveries.

    HOW TO FIND VIN DECODERS Jan. 07, 2009 This document contains the file names followed by motor vehicle manufacturer’s name for a great many of the VIN decoders received by NHTSA since the VIN regulations went into effect on October, 1980. It is not intended for amateur use, and as such is not equipped with the graphical user interfaces that main stream “www” consumer Internet sites are designed with. To use it, using your computer keyboard, hold “CONTROL” and tap “F” This action will bring up a query field. Only use one or two words of a manufacturer’s name when performing this search. It is best to use the second name of Chinese manufacturers as their first name may be a Province. Using the “find next” key stroke, go all the way through the document until you find (and record) every file name associated with your manufacturer. Manually type ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail or just click on this hyperlink. Hold “control” and tap “F” to display the search screen again allowing you to enter the previously discovered “file names.” Double clicking these file names brings up images of the manufacturer’s VIN decoders. NHTSA intends to revise these sites on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month: (1) ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail (2) ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/manufacture (3) www.nhtsa.dot.gov.cars.rules.manufacture Page : 1 Monday May 22, 2006 Docket: 01-022N11-B Comment Date Date of Number Received Submitter/Firm/Subject Pages Document ======= ======= ================= ===== ======== 00001 04/17/1980 KEITH L.

  • The Role of LS-DYNA® in the Design of the New London Electric Taxi
    15th International LS-DYNA® Users Conference Automotive The Role of LS-DYNA® in the Design of the New London Electric Taxi Jamie Dennis1, Simon Hart1 1Arup (Advanced Technology and Research), Solihull, UK Abstract The iconic London taxi is known worldwide. The London Taxi Company (LTC) has produced this much loved vehicle for many years with few radical changes. Recently, zero-emission legislation in London and the global demand for cleaner vehicles has prompted an evolution in its design. With investment from owner Geely, the newly branded London EV Company (LEVC) will produce several thousand electric taxis per year from its new headquarters in Coventry, UK. The designers, Emerald Automotive Design (EAD), engaged Arup to analyse all structural and safety load cases. This paper discusses how the versatility of LS-DYNA and the modularity of the keyword file enabled Arup to use a single-model approach for all analysis - from full vehicle crashworthiness through to component- level durability checks - and how this facilitated an efficient division of activity between remote teams in the UK and China. The application of both explicit and implicit LS-DYNA to the various load cases is considered, together with the correlation against physical testing. Special challenges were posed by the requirement to comply with Transport for London’s (TfL) Conditions of Fitness and the need to protect the high-voltage components. Reliance on the LS-DYNA predictions was high, with few prototype stages afforded by the accelerated programme. Successful progression directly from simulation to legislative testing sign-off was achieved for cases including pedestrian protection. Arup’s use of LS-DYNA was key in bringing this lightweight bonded aluminium taxi to market, whilst minimising energy consumption and delivering a solution to the issue of sustainable city transport.

The views or opinions expressed by individuals are not necessarily those of the club. Web: www.trccoo.freeservers.com IGNITION. October 2003. This months meeting had the normal number of attendees, see meeting minutes, with discussions centred on the Centennial Rally and the proposal to submit a "remit" to the upcoming ARCC AGM in Queenstown "that the ARCC annual rally be held on a bi-annual basis between the North & South Islands". This "remit" is to be submitted. Last weekend was the McLeans Island Swap meet which was held on a busy sports weekend this year it seems. We are hoping for a good turnout of Rovers at the Tokomaru A& P Show, Milton on December 13th. Good weather guaranteed at that time (we hope), with an evening BBQ. There is also the West Otago A& P Show at Tapanui on the 22nd November.
