We had a great time, but wondered why the car had a slight misfire from time to time during some of the run and got worse on the way home. Noticed the rev counter was underreading a bit while going round the M25 and the car cut out at 80mph when I used the horn a few miles later. No red gen light but all the gauges were reading low. The penny dropped at the same time as the car cut out completely at the Boreham Interchange while in the fast lane with a lot of holiday traffic. Managed to free wheel across 4 lanes to find no hard shoulder, just a storm drain. While waiting for the fourth emergency service I thought I would try to find the problem. Green and black wire had fallen/been pulled of the back of the alternator. Sticking it back on I got the red gen light on the dash. After another 15 mins I removed as much of the ancciliary circuits to see if he battery had recovered enough to crank the car. The answer was yes and we left this very dangerous parking lot and got home without any more misfire and cancelled the AA....
Curious. Needless to say I have secured this wire so it does not do it again.....
Great day - thanks Brian for organising the track event.
Tim, if memory serves me correctly there was a wire clip that clips up behind that block that plugs into the alternator. I think at least on the Bosch alternators. |

Many thanks to Brian and Linda Mills and their helpers for another super Lancia day at Goodwood. They even managed to provide some lovely weather!  It was great to have the Fanalone out again following the protracted gearbox rebuild. See the Fanalone Thread in the Fulvia section when I get round to updating it. Doesn't seem possible that it was a year to the day that we made it to Fulvia 50th after the 6 month rebuild. However, she ran well and was enormous fun into the bargain. A picture or two of CUC taken by Jonathan on his Smart Phone. He also took some great video footage but I don't know how to go about posting them.  Robin. |

Robin (et al) , You can't post video footage on the forum itself (we wouldn't have the space!) but you can upload it onto something else like youtube and then provide the link for the video onto here.

Thanks Steve, I had a feeling that was the case. Not used Youtube but will have a look. Robin. |

That Alfa belongs to a friend I "press ganged" to make up the numbers - anyone got any photos for him?
...and I hardly dare ask but was the day well enough supported to be back next year?

If the Alfa that David is referring to is the Giulietta Sprint 150XUE, then I claim is as one that I encouraged to attend! Hopefully to make up numbers. Sorry I wasn't there.

Don't recollect seeing the Sprint but there was a very nice 75 which I suspect was a V6. Brian 8227  |

Steve, I can send you some photos from Saturday, I have thought for a while it would be good to a photo gallery area on the forum if we have space for various events, would it be possible to add another area for events?

Anyone ELSE know this man? (and a photo challenge for what and where)
I'm hoping he behaved - last time out at Goodwood (an Alfa day) he got a ticking off. He sold that car (grey Spider) and bought this so as not to be recognised.

David, The Alfa Gulia or Gulietta (I'm not sure which) was lovely and took me back 40 years. It followed me out onto the track for one session and I hoped that it would come past so that I could get a look at it in action, but it didn't The second and third pictures are from 1972 when I was rallying a Gulia. I had a couple in succession at that time and a Gulia SS! The green and gold one caught fire near Stroud Glous. on a family holiday writing it off. The holiday too I seem to remember Robin. |

I had one of those too! Mine was a Giulietta 1300 Sprint - see photo. I think Jago's car at Goodwood is a 1600, which I guess makes it a Giulia.

Thanks Neil ! Our can do a gallery (at the moment it produces the news page on the website) , and there is also gallery software that links into the Forum (somehow). They do take up space though and it's not always easy to find them again - this is where the database is good as it tags the photos so they can be searched for. |
