Autosol every time ..... 

Wow .... thanks Rich .... not seen that before .... soooo useful! 

David ... many thanks. Will look for that and check its length.

A very good afternoon.

I am in need of advice. The top hose on my Robin Hood Series III (2 litre pinto) has now reached the end!! It is very tired and split and will, I imagine, burst before too long.

I have asked Burton Engineering about a replacement but they are unable to recognise from which original vehicle it may be from, by looking at the photographs I sent them.

Before I possibly spend an eternity looking through online catalogues ...does anyone have any knowledge as to where I might best start looking for a suitable replacement?

Thank you ... and would a silicon replacement be any advantage - providing I can track down the correct part?

I was there with Sporting Bears. Is one of these your car? Obviously the red vehicle is mine.

Having just completed all the paperwork for joining Sporting Bears, this event would have been a great opportunity to start my 'membership' with them.

Family .... don't you just love them .... One of our grandchildren is performing in London that weekend and we are all going down to watch the show - so a no-no to Kimbolton this year. .

Anyone else in Sporting Bears?

What a cracking turnout and a beautiful driving day!

Would have done but had to come up to Newark in the motorhome and having to return home Saturday morning!!!!

A very good day to everyone.

I have recently obtained a Ford Focus Estate for one of my grandsons to learn to drive in, once DVLA catch up on log book and provisional licence ...

Does anyone have a Haynes Manual gathering dust that they would be willing to part with so that I can encourage him to begin tackling maintenance jobs himself.

I can start him off with routine jobs but he lives about 30 miles away and I need him to have some reference material to assist him when I am not available.

Many thanks

Don't hold back!!

My view is they made a kit car that was even less desirable than the donor vehicle.

I have just viewed the sales brochure ...... Oh dear, really?!

FOZ and I plan to visit Caffeine & Machine at Ettington, Stratford-upon-Avon, Tuesday 7th for about 1pm.

Many of you will only just have returned from the End of Season Bash ... sorry was unable to make that ... so may not be available for another run out - plus, I realise, you are not all retired!!

If available and fancy a run out on probably the last beautiful sunny, hot day for a while, this is the venue:

co-ordinates  52.150105 -1.630045

post code CV37 7NS

As I have stated, I was unavailable for this last weekend's 'Do' but I would still like to offer my appreciation for all the organisation, time and effort put in by all who organised and ran the event - the club is run by truly amazing people ... thank you all.

The weather forecasts implies that summer is ending this coming Thursday morning ... ugh! Before my kit hides from the under it's plastic ill-fitting 'pac a mac' (remember those?) I am considering a run out to the Caffeine & Machine at Ettington on Tuesday next. To my surprise, my dear beloved, who dislikes hoodie, has offered to join me on what promises to be a late summer's day!! Sensible driving then ... Oh well, you can't have everything! Any one fancy a over there if I succeed with this plan?

A message for Andi ..... check your personal messages ..... 

Many thanks to all who set up the Club area at Stoneleigh - Saturday was quite well attended by club members considering. Covid really messed up planning for all this year and the Show was therefore so much 'smaller' and less well attended generally. Even so, great food and company ... thanks. A couple of shots of our area.

Very helpful information there Derek ... thanks.

Oops .. deleted quote.

I would like to purchase an excellent burger during the day please, as I unfortunately need to return home late afternoon/early evening. No over-nighting this year I am afraid.

Excellent news ..... family social event cancelled at the last minute .... I am free to attend Stoneleigh on the Saturday .... Yipee!!

Danielle - what time of day are we talking burgers, daytime or evening?

Pair of used stainless louvred vents fit 90x300 hole.   £20 the pair

A very good morning to you Robert.

Unless anyone has already requested purchasing the vents from you, I would be delighted to offer you £20.

Although I had intended attending Stoneleigh next week, another social commitment has interfered with my plan!

If the vents are still available, I am in Wylde Green and can arrange to collect from you anytime .. no rush from my end.

cheers

Alan

I was ..... until a clash of social calendar was discovered ..... very disappointed to be missing the event.

Thanks Dan.

I’ll check their website again nearer the time I make plans to take a trip out there. Having never visited the venue I would prefer to drive over to experience the place and try (an expensive?) coffee and see what they have to offer, rather than pay for a possible interesting experience as my first trip there.

I am taking a gamble, as undoubtedly on the occasion I do drive out there there will be very limited vehicles attending as people will be at work!

But once familiar with its location and set up and programme for the paid evening and weekends diary, I can then consider whether to pay to share the experience with other interesting vehicle owners.

It is really useful though reading your view on the location ... thank you.

Just discovered my wife has already booked an event that clashes with the Stoneleigh weekend!!!!! Not feeling happy at the moment.

Hi Steve ...

Once the better, glorious weather returns I'll give you a shout and we'll try to arrange a day to take a trip out there and meet up.

A very good day everyone.

All being well I intend to spend the Saturday at Stoneleigh ... I hope there will be room form us all in the area allocated, looks much smaller than the space we have taken up in the past.

In the meantime I have a question about Caffeine & Machine at Ettington. I have never been there and have only recently seen adverts for the venue. Is it somewhere worth a visit and if so, when is the best or worst time to take a trip out there? It is the unticketed times that currently appeal most! Therefore a Monday to Friday am/pm not evening.

Robert ... on this occasion I am very disappointed that I already own a hoodie.

If I didn’t, then I would pay your asking price without hesitation.

You have put together an outstanding example of a hoodie and I sincerely hope that it’s next owner will cherish it, love it ... and drive it.

Congratulations Sir ... a superb example of quality engineering.

David, arrive at the start a good hour plus early to give you time to enjoy viewing all the other vehicles and chat to and join up with other kit owners for the route.

Don’t worry about your set off time, just leave with one or more of the group so as to be able to drive with them and use their navigation.

Fingers crossed for your weather ... and have a great day.
