In a word, no. If you present it early for the first MOT and it passes, the second MOT will be due 12 months from that date. It's only at the second MOT that you can present it early and still maintain the actual due date

Started fitting new blue silicone pipe and noticed that hose for the expansion tank hose is pretty warm on a knackered so I replaced that as well you can see the compare below. Also fitted now expansion tank this one is from a volvo. so the coolant system topped up ready for this year driving just got to sort all brakes out now they all fitted up just waiting on a new fitting as thread in this one is no good. Hopefully come in day or so. New braid lines all fit and work. Took doors for easy access while clean up and remove seats and harness next to clean up cockpit. next is oil and filter change with new gaskets over weekend clean air filter and engine bay. slowly getting there now also had a little helper with me. His name is fidget

All being well I am happy to lead down the A49 again. Meeting at the Cat & Lion pub just north of junction 10 M56. Time to be arranged. I will probably camp over.

Hi All, thinking ahead, who is thinking of taking the trip down to the national kit car show in Malvern in June? Last year a group of us met in Warrington (can't remember the car park we met in!) and Ian did the best job ever and led the convoy directly to the venue, same again this year Ian? Some camped overnight, but all in all a fab time was had. I am planning on making the trip but can only make the Saturday, setting of early 'ish, getting there viewing stands and cars, having a chat/ catching up and setting of back about 5pm 'ish. Let's hope for dry weather. who's got it in their diary? Darrell

Looking good

Great work, keep it going

Next Wednesday 27th, 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL. Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat. Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island. Everyone welcome. See you there.

Thanks for the offer. Can you liase with Christopher (sparepart) ? I'm sure he would be grateful for any contribution.

I've finally made the brave, or stupid, decision, to sell my 2B. With so many things on the go at the moment the Hood is just not getting used, hence my decision to sell it. Built by me and it passed its IVA August 2015 Correctly registered on V5 as Robin Hood on 1st September 2015 MOT Until 14th August 2024 Powered by a 2 Litre Zetec silver top with a pair of Weber 45 DCOE carburettors Disc brakes all round Custom made exhaust system Shortened sump Lightened flywheel Paul Dunnell ECU Raceline Water rail Permanently Garaged 1 owner, me, based in Medway Kent. The car now has the registration number H475 DKH £5,750

This will be held at Kimbolton Castle (PE28 0EA) on Sunday 14th July. This is a regular show and attracts a huge number of cars (They are estimating 1200+ this year). It is also a full day out with stalls, arena events, food and drink etc. The Club has been allocated a space for 15 cars, which is normally around the number we get. The organiser has told me we can apply for early bird tickets using the code KCFCCS24 at www.kimboltoncountryfayre.org/tickets although I'm not sure how we benefit from that as it seems this option is open to everyone. Location of our pitch will be issued nearer the day. See https://kimboltoncountryfayre.com/ for more details. Al (Temporary Events Secretary)

This Tuesday is the regular monthly meeting, all welcome at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH23RJ from 7.00pm. Looking forward to another great turnout this month ,it was great to see some old faces as well as some new last month.

Hi Alan, I hope to make it on Tuesday as we had to cancel the holiday due to me not being well. Hopefully I will be well enough to drag these weary old bone's up to see your smiling happy face's. Looking forward to a good turn out as well see you there. Regards Allan.

Looks very good - my blacktop Zetec is like that at idle and I always thought the Pinto's were supposed to be lower? As an England fan, damn right - I was worried about the wooden spoon for us before the start. Beating Ireland was miraculous! Really good competition this year - so many unexpected results (except for Ireland, of course)...looking forward to the Autumn Internationals because I'd imagine we'll get hammered by the SH teams - but need to play those games to improve... I'd be interested to know what you guys thought of the 6N - some of the Welsh play, for example, was downright embarrasing last weekend

Flocking looks good initially but I don't think it lasts well - I've seen some pretty horrible old stuff and it's a pain to get off. That diamond patterned stuff is nice

I have done this using these from kit card direct. They need a bit of modification but work well and allow wings to steer with the wheels. http://www.kitcardirect.co.uk/cycle-wing-bracket-front-wing-stays-for-billet-aluminium-upright-black-single.html The front suspension buttresses also need trimming a bit to allow the wing to sit across the width of the wheel.
