I had a hundred mile drive this morning to drop the car off for it's 4000 mile service, and blooming nice it was too!! Sunshine & dry roads, blue skies and almost warm in places, it was simply great to be alive & fortunate to be holding the wheel of a unique car. Through Clarkson's home turf, Stow on the Wold, down the Fosse and not a motorway in sight. Lovely!!

You might not believe it Steve, but I've heard there are a few M3W owners who have not yet heard of TM. Amazing as it may seem!

Beautiful drive home from work in the Mog yesterday, around 7pm, just getting dark after a bright sunny day, chilly but spring in the air, no traffic, wonderful. I *might* have exceeded the speed limit a bit. The three wheeler just isn't a car to drive sensibly  But I think I broke my car, I went over a bump in the road at full gas in second and the car went light/revs rose for a second, when it came back down there was a horrible bang from the back and it sounded terrible after that, like something is rubbing or broken. I took offthe rear cover and had a look but nothing is obviously amiss, so I think the problem is further forward than the rear wheel

The temperature got into the 50s here today, 4 hours of polishing, scrubbing and polishing and the 3 wheeler is looking like new! Now to go take it on the first drive of the year!

But I think I broke my car, I went over a bump in the road at full gas in second and the car went light/revs rose for a second, when it came back down there was a horrible bang from the back and it sounded terrible after that, like something is rubbing or broken. I took offthe rear cover and had a look but nothing is obviously amiss, so I think the problem is further forward than the rear wheel I'll guess that the rear wheel spindle was kicked out of alignment by the landing which lost you a bit of belt tension allowing the belt to jump a tooth or two which would be the loud bang and the belt may now be rubbing against the tyre. With a bit of luck it just needs loosened, adjusted and tightened back up. Best of luck and here's hoping it's nothing more drastic.
