Tell you what keith the trouble I have had with my home made roof I might slash it myself! Its definitely not coming and I might even refit the aero screen if these b@stard washers go off in my face again

Petrol, Sandwiches, fags and coffee the 4 major food groups all catered for on your doorstep all duckmanton needs now is a brot.. oh wait. Ferrybridge for me 10.00 (wave if you pass me on the hard shoulder after M18 junction).

B@gger! The sticker is clear - that means I'll have to clean a bit of my car.

I have a parcel at home this morning its either ht leads or thermal underwear. Don't know which one I need most!

I've now lost a roof strap! still waiting for parts! weather ! sod this ! lets hire a minibus

go pinto

You can also hear them just before you run out of fuel (ask me how I know).

If I understand the plan the main convoy is meeting Peter2b2002 at Ferrybridge services at 10 am. So I will go straight up the A1 from Newark and meet you all at Ferrybridge at 10.00am on Saturday Morning, (this saves me an hour of travelling across to Woodhall services). If I time it right I might meet the main convoy after the M18 junction.

My niggling intermittent misfire got a whole lot worse yesterday evening got home and went to check plugs no 3 plug lead disinigrated! Looks like a bad crimp at plug end the terminal was black. Good job I found it wasn't going to drive again until Saturday morning.

Many people recommend tieing it to the roll bar. Still blows off but you know where it is.

Me too please

Mathew I love your engine too so you should go zetec cash waiting!(but not much). Alexpink I'd echo the call to join you'll make it back in pig at Stoneleigh and discounts.

Sorry I don't have one for sale as I am happy with mine! For all of the reasons you say and many many more I think you are going down the right route. Keep your eye out and don't rush for that rusty pinto for £20 on ebay as there are some very nice engines coming out of cars in favour of sensible quiet economical zetecs and the like. Ozz

My less bulky option is strips of that double sided foam tape stuck to leather cloth and folded so seam in middle of under side. stuck on with contact adhesive. Not much padding but then again doesn't reatrict my limited cockpit space.

Why? It makes you sound deep and leading to something valuable.... oh wait a minute ..... wise choice Nick.

Actually my weekend prep was to fit harness extenders so I' m good to go :-)

Onich hotel lunch menu = food porn dieter menu..... i think not!

Had my passenger seat out today, no runners just bolted to floor. Cut the heads off 3 m8 bolts put them in 3 corners dropped seat into the bolt holes and bolted up removing the headless bolts as I went. (Obvious to some no doubt but I normally don't think like that)

Have a look at the various instructions on digital speedos web site some might work depending on whats copied. Mine will register off a wire wrapped around a spark plug lead.

Happy birthday mate have a good one. Ozz
