Could you add me to the list for this too, please?  All being well, I should be up for it. Booked into the Llanerch Inn.

Re-arrangements and cancellations have freed up my Saturday, so I’ve just bought day tickets for Ruby and me. I’ve been out in the car a bit of late, it’s filthy and I ain’t washing it now, so it’ll be more hide & gloom than show & shine. I will, however, be bringing along a bingo prize have a great evening, we’ll see you in the morning

Not discountinued, but not currently available in europe due to poor fuel efficiency rating, a lot of similar tyres have been affected

Ah, ok, I'll wait until Boris sorts this out for us after the 31st October.

T1-R, no. R1-R, yes.

Where from Dan? I have R1-R’s, I got them from Oponeo but can’t find them anywhere online now. Discontinued maybe

Above you can see I gave away 4 great XR4x4 alloy wheels/tyres 5 years ago, now I’m after one (or similar) to use as a spare! Anybody got one that’s cluttering the garage and wants out of the way? Cheers, T.

Never experienced any problems.

I used a London Taxi heater; the one they fit under the driver seat to heat the rear passenger compartment. It's compact (sits nicely on top of the tunnel) and has 3 speed motor. Just need to fabricate a panel to connect your air ducts to.

 

Picture stolen from ebay:

I recently stripped my Pinto to pieces and rebuilt. After rebuild I was blowing smoke from the exhaust when giving the car some beans. Turned out, I'd made a schoolboy error and overfilled oil. It wasn't much over level, but it made a big difference once level corrected; no more smoke. Worth a check?

 

BTW mine has PCV plumbed back into inlet manifold.

Nice one. I'll be there for breakfast too.

If I can get myself sorted, I might pop over.

Just realised that I've got a prior engagement on 28th but no reason why I can't organise another run, I just won't be there.

Wot! No V8 to spur us on? ....or will Jackie take control of the horses?

Sorry, can you repeat that?

Sunday 28th anyone?

Sounds good to me, Rich, do you have anywhere in mind?

Blimey, the weather forecasters got it right, it was a fine afternoon! Nice run through the Peak District, thanks Rich. Laura enjoyed her first Kit Car run out, I think she'll be up for more .

It's just water.

Says he with the fully fitted water tight hard top! Steve, take your waterproofs.... Have you drilled holes in those seats yet?

Weather report is NOT looking promising, it must be said

It's not, it's looking pretty wet for the morning, but they forecast rain for Coventry today, and we've had nothing but sunshine this afters

Meet at mine if that's OK with you and Dan.

Suits me.

I'll come over to Tamworth and run up with you too. I'll detour off as we near Markeaton Island to pick-up Laura from Derby.

Where to meet-up in Tamworth, Rich?

Sounds good to me

Get in line!
