Calum I notice that you are getting small cracks on the edge of the tread blocks, my tyres are the similar but on outer blocks also. At last MOT tyre cracking was noted as an advisory, I dont see any other cracks, not sure if its on any concern. Do you always fit new tubes with new tyres?

Don't think the little tears in the tread blocks are an issue, just using the grip!
I never used to change them every time but have changed my mind and now do fit new tubes with each new tyre. The tubes get a bit of a hard time from the spoke nipples so I reckon it's a good idea.

I'd watch the checking on the tire. I've had this happen to me on previous Blockleys and when we established by the date code just how old the tires were we found that they had been sitting on a shelf for ten years before I received them as 'new'. Look for the stamp on the exterior of the inner sidewall. Four numbers. The first two will be the week made and the next two will be the year made. Anything older than ten years should be trashed. When ordering Cokers the tires have been, at most, a year old. Other issue is dry rot and the Blockleys would fail a vehicle inspection just for that.


What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

To answer the question above about the whole in the bonnet:

The bonnet has been modified to optimized the ventilation by the preowner.
Together with the addittional oil cooler in the front the engine does not overhead.
Great idea!

Sunday two other 3 Wheelers and a two wheeler went to Port Townsend Airport and had lunch at the Spruce Goose Cafe'. A fun short trip through Indian Island Naval Magazine and onto Marrowstone Island for a photo op at the Nordalnd store. The poor store suffered possibly a catastrophic fire last winter and its future on the island is uncertain. It was the only store on the island and was their Post Office as well. It will be missed.

The 2014 Brooklands Edition was recently purchased and as being a second owner he is eager to drive it, as I would be, it is a very clean machine.

I've been to that country store, but not in a 3 Wheeler, so not as much fun! Glad to see a small caravan of 3 Wheelers together. Perhaps we will be able to do something similiar here in Texas soon.

I bet there are many old country stores scattered all over Texas. That state is a very big land mass and takes days to drive across it so I bet opportunities abound.

Texas= 268,597 sq miles. Vs England = 50,301 sq miles.
