9-September-2018 SPOKE‘n’WORD IDAHO BRITISH C A R C L U B http://idahobritishcars.org NOTES FROM RANDY STEINER, IBCC Vol u me , Is s ue PRESIDENT…. September 2018 Summer is wrapping up fast, the temperature has made a change, and it feels cool enough to get Inside this issue: outside and get more done. Weather is looking like it will be wonderful for the Southwest Idaho All British Field Meet. I am President’s Notes 1 looking forward to attending again this year. Maybe, just maybe, I can make some more progress on the TD to get it there (low chance, but I have a trailer now). Rick and his team have done a great job IBCC Board Members 2 again this year and he is tracking to get 100 cars and bikes there. Really looking forward to the new Upcoming Events 3 layout this year too. I was thinking about what to touch on this month and I was reflecting on the marques we have in the Ladies 2nd IBCC Tea 4 club. One that seems to be under represented is Lotus. I have always enjoyed the cars which Brit Car Events 4 appeared in the Bond films over the years, but there is one which really caught my eye, and I had no idea what it was until years later and a little digging. This is before I caught the disease for British Directory Picture Re- 5 cars. quest Many of you may recall The Prisoner, from 1967 in Canada and the UK and 1968 in the US. If you New Members 5 have not seen it, it should be available on some of the streaming sites, but we could do a watch party as I have them on DVD. It is only 17 episodes, but what a ride. It is very bizarre but fun show. The Volunteer of the Month 5 sphere ……. Eagle Car Show— 6 Anyway, the opening sequence has the main character driving up in a Lotus Super 7. I had no idea Stanley Lee what that car was, but I instantly fell in love with it as the looks of the car really strike a cord. The Super 7 started production in 1957 and was designed by Lotus founder Colin Chapman. He kept with ATDI in Salem 7-8 Lotus’ philosophy of lightweight construction and simplicity resulting in a high performance vehicle. Befuddlement Column 8 Lotus ended production in 1972, but Caterham (kate – ram not kater - ham) purchased the rights and Late Aug. Coddiwomple 9 the car is still in production today, with many different variants available. Notably you can get it in kit form and assemble it yourself. Top Gear did an episode where the boys needed to assemble a car Dick Johnson’s Award 10 before The Stig was able to drive to the factory from the southern part of the UK. Even in 1958 you could get the car in component form for around 399 pounds, 100 pounds for the Ford motor and gear Mr. Bean’s Tech Talk — 11-12 box, and 27 pounds for the read axle to avoid a certain kind of government tax of the time. Wiring Your MG The car is a tubular steel frame construction with aluminum skin over the outside. In 1957 – 1960, it Coffee Happenings 12 was powered with a 1.2 liter engine, in 1961 – 1967, a 1.3 liter motor, 1968 – 1973 around a 1.6 liter. This is in a car which weighs 500 kg, or about 1100 pounds. Four good strong people could probably Member’s Corner 13 pick the whole car up. SWAIBFM Registration 13-16 This is a car I will likely have to crawl in and out of. At a total of 3 feet off the road, it is very low to Classified Ads 17 the ground and has impressive cornering ability. It is a little biased weight wise to the front, but has close to a 50/50 balance. The main issue is at higher speeds the nose will become light without having updates to the aerodynamics, anything above 70 mph could get dicey. Eve nts : The part I really like about all of this is the fact if you really want to, and I really want to, you can scratch build a car like it. These are known and locosts (low cost) sports cars and have the same look Saturday, Sept. 1, 9:30, and design as the Super 7. With a donor car and much fabrication, you too can have a Super 7 type Coffee at Caffé Capri car. Well, it’s on the list anyway, kind of like the boat I want to build like Brian’s. One day …. I hope to see some more Lotus cars in the group, I know I would like to get one some day, either Saturday, Sept. 15 18, through purchase or build. I know there is a Lotus model Suzie won’t let me get as she just does not 8:00, Breakfast at Eddie’s like the looks of it, but she could go for any of the ones which were in the Bond films. Saturday, Sept. 15, 9:30, If you made it this far, huzzah! We have our 20th summer tour coming up in 2022. The first summer Coffee at Awakenings Coffee tour was in 2002 to Union, OR. I am sure it is hard to believe the 20 year anniversary is coming up that fast. What I would like to hear from the club is are any ideas you may have to celebrate for that Saturday, Sept. 22, 1:00, summer tour. Would a single site location be preferred, a multi site driving tour between several of IBCC Ladies Tea the locations we have been to before? The Board would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

We are continually working on the activities and schedules for both shows and can announce that we are partnering with the City of McCall's Recre- ation Scholarship Fund. They will be on hand during the McCall show to sell tickets that allow people to vote for the People's Choice award in McCall. This year's show will be slightly different than the last 2 years in that the band will be right in with the cars, giving us more of a street party feel. You literally will be dancing in the streets! Our club members, John Batterton and Dan Ludwig, will showcase their Morgan Plus 8 and Triumph TR250 to help celebrate 2 great cars manufactured 50 years ago in 1968. We have cars coming from all over the Pacific Northwest and Utah and need IBCC members there to welcome our visitors. Lastly, along with the Village, we will have artisan booths join us to help increase attendance. While the arrangements will be slightly different from the last 2 years, I believe that we will continue to offer you an exciting day in McCall and in The Village. You can find the registration form here in the newsletter (pages 13—16)or go the website to submit your registration on line if you prefer. Please check out additional information at www.SWIABFM.org or give me (Rick) a call at 208-890-7252 if you have any questions. SEPTEMBER 22—Idaho British Ladies Tea LADIES!

Regular targets for Top Gear presenter's protest – which are curtailed by broadcast guidelines in terms of gender and ethnicity -- are reflected in the 'soft' targets of government legislation on environmental issues or various forms of regulation ‘red tape’. Repeated references to speed cameras, central London congestion charges, and 'excessive' signage, are all anti-authoritarian, libertarian discourses delivered through a comedic form of performance address. Thus the BBC's primary response to complaints made about this programme is to defend the programme's political views as being part of the humour.

After weeks of speculation about the identity of our tame racing driver, the Stig finally summons the courage to remove his helmet in front of a studio audience. In the opening episode of Series 14, the presenters were filmed taking a road trip in three grand tourers they had chosen across the country of Romania. Further complaints were also made in regards to a scene in which Clarkson donned a pork pie hat and called it a "gypsy" hat, while commenting: "I'm wearing this hat so the gypsies think I am [another gypsy]. They also pick out car-themed pieces that they like while also making their own BMW "art car".

  • Top Gear Challenge
    Top Gear Challenge What’s the fastest way to get across London? On Top Gear, a very popular BBC TV series about cars and driving, they decided to organize a race across London, to find the quickest way to cross a busy city. The idea was to start from Kew Bridge, in the south- west of London, and to finish the race at the check-in desk at London City Airport, in the east, a journey of approximately 15 miles. Four possible forms of transport were chosen, a bike, a car, a motorboat, and public transport. The show’s presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, took the boat and his colleague James May went by car (a large Mercedes). Richard Hammond went by bike, and The Stig took public transport. He had an Oyster card. His journey involved getting a bus, then the Tube, and then the Docklands Light Railway, an overground train which connects east and west London. They set off on a Monday morning in the rush hour… English File third edition Intermediate Student’s Book Unit 3A, p.25 © OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 2013 1 Jeremy in the motorboat His journey was along the River Thames. For the first few miles there was a speed limit of nine miles an hour, because there are so many ducks and other birds in that part of the river. The river was confusing, and at one point he realized that he was going in the wrong direction. But he turned round and got back onto the right route. Soon he was going past Fulham football ground.
