I am probably over-reacting here but I would be careful. If you have mounting holes that show you intend to mount a windscreen after the IVA the examiner might be a bit hard-nosed and fail it. Same applies to windscreen wiper mounting holes.

You should find a tag attached to the diff with the value stamped on it.

Pretty standard month, lost 7 gained 3. Unusually 2 of the 7 non-renewals actually had the good manners to reply when I asked for confirmation. So we can welcome the 3 new members: Forum Name Location Area Secretary David Bradley LondonDerry toriitom Xavier Mora France Me David Heyes Bolton IanS (Caretaker only)

Some of you lucky people will have had 2 copies I only use that part of the software twice a year and I keep forgetting how to use it, Old age strikes again. Still, better twice than not at all. Al

Well that was a nice surprise. Considering January is off-season and it seems to have rained every day, I assumed it was going to be a bit subdued. We lost 6 members, which is par for the course, but we actually had 9 new people join, plus one who is returning after nearly 2 years away. So it's a very warm welcome to the following: Forum Name Location Area Secretary GT Nutter (Gary) Camberly ThanasisPolitis Phaeton (Alan) Worksop Andi Drew Newton Peterborough Me Huge (Ian) Canvey Island ThanasisPolitis Robert Allen Sutton Coldfield Richyb66 Anthony Carter Daventory Me Carl Williams Leicester philshelton Gavlar (Gavin) Mansfield Andi Naturally Exasperated (Andy) Oxford ThanasisPolitis and to our returnee John Peach Reading ThanasisPolitis

No, it's fine. Does no harm to remind people. It's just a shame it clashes with the others.

Already covered in calendar

That’s better than here, we have to wait 40 years before we get historic status.

Sorry it didn't work out. Unfortunately we don't have active members in Spain (probably because they can't register them) and the rest of us don't know the rules in Spain. Hope you eventually figure it out.

It's still some way off, but I need to get an idea on numbers before I approach the organisers. Unfortunately it is clashing with the the Kimbolton Classic Car show which a number of us always attend, and the Limcolnshire Car Show (there are only a limited number of Bank Holidays in a year). Having said that, you could always do this Show on the Saturday and then Kimbolton on the Sunday So who is likely to go ?

Happy New Year everyone and it was nice we actually finished the old one with a good month. We lost only 3 members but we gained 5, so good new news all round. So we welcome: Forum Name Location Area Secretary Brooky61 (Dave) Winchester ThanasisPolitis zack.mitchell1983 Pointon Me Charlie Wilton Robbie 2B Nick Standly Norwich Me Andy Simpson Southport Darrell Al

Hi Simon Just sent a test message, seems to leave us OK. Maybe in your spam folder ?

On it's way

Hi Nick According to my records you aren't actually a member of the Club yet. I'm afraid just signing up on the forum is not sufficient. When you do register as a full member I can provide any proof you want (Membership Number, welcome letter, photo of card....). Just ask the insurance company what they need. Cheers Al (Membership Secretary)

I asked Domingo to use Google Translate to post in English, but he hasn't so I better do it for him Hello, as the title says, I'm Spanish and I have a 2004 Lotus Robin Hood with a Rover SD1 V8 engine. I bought it in very bad condition and it was impossible for me to drive it because of my height (1.90m). I've restored it as much as I could and improved many things, including being able to get in and drive it, but at the moment it's impossible to register it legally on Spanish roads until it's 30 years old and I can register it as a classic vehicle. I would love to get some help from you all to install a windscreen. I'll try to upload some photos of my Robin. Greetings to all.

Hi Zack i ran my car for 4 years with only a GPS Speedo. Luckily my insurance company never questioned my actual mileage. The MOT tester didn’t care so I have 4 MOTs with the same mileage (actually 3 years as one of them showed I had gone backwards for a mile ) I know people who have fitted a GPS that uses sensors on the propshaft and apparently you get one attempt to reset it to the actual mileage.

No such thing as a stupid question To post a topic you uses the Create+ button top right of the page. Select Topic and the required page should pop up. OK ? Cheers Al
