Welcome to the club. This all sounds very interesting, will be interesting to see how it pans out.

I know where you are coming from but you have to remember it is 'no claim' not 'no blame'. If the insurer had to pay out, it will be taken into account, regardless of who was responsible.

It was originally conceived by Tiger racing. Have look here http://www.tigerracing.com/model/tiger-z100/ 0-60m in 2.8 seconds is pretty quick.

This will never get boring to watch, the engineering is amazing. Keep it coming. The only doubts I have are whether it really is sensible to let Whiz loose with a supercharged car.

Wales sounds good. I would be interested.

I might be up for this, depending on a few things. I can't commit just yet. Anyway I have just had a quick look based on travelling out on the 14th and returning on the 18th (just a guess) and the cheapest at the moment is Stena Line Liverpool to Belfast at £148.80 return. The only issue is that it is a 10 hour crossing so a waste of a day. If you go overnight the night before, which gets in at 6:30 am, it is £176 + the cost of a seat or a cabin. It could go up to £296 with cabins both ways.

Depending on the date, I could be involved with the Gloucester to Keele section. If they go for the 24th June, them I'm out as it is my Niece's wedding, but if they went the Saturday before, the 17th, I could be up for it.

Not sure if this will work as you have to be logged in to the Kitnet forum to read the thread https://kitnet.uk/community/threads/lands-end-to-john-o-groats-candidate-24-jun-2017.959/

They say you can't polish a turd, but Terry needs something to keep him occupied, he could have it shining in no time!!

I went on factory trip to Omex and they make things like shift lights, rev limiters and launch control systems. Not sure if anything like that would help?

Not too far for me to have a day out on the Saturday. I will pop over and say hello

That is a good result. As you say just a couple of minor things to sort. Well done.

I went on a factory tour to Omex at the weekend and the main man said that ECUs like the mega squirt is not road legal as it is not type approved, so can only be used on track cars. I have no idea if that is true or not but it is worth thinking about.

This is a fantastic idea and a great way to support Phil and Helen. Unfortunately I can't make the EOSB, is there any way to still contribute?

It is a sad state of affairs. I work for an insurance company (and no, I won't say which one as any opinion I make here is purely my own) but the only way they can apply this type of premium 'loading' is if you tell them what date the policy is due for renewal. The system will calculate that against today's date and apply the increase. Try saying it is due in 2 or 3 weeks time then if you do take it out, change the effective date during the policy issue process. Also never tell them that you usually pay by monthly instalments as some insurers will penalise you for that as well.

Wow, been off line so only just seen this. Many congratulations to you both

Not sure if they fit or not, but you could try one of the GRP type seats as they sit you lower in the car and they are a lot more comfortable than they look. I have a Tillet in my Zero, but there are other options. I did 1800 miles in a week on the Scotland trip this year and had no issues at all.

That is a result Nigel. Chalk up one for human decency after all

Bob, both extra tickets claimed so if you include them with mine I'll pass them on. Thanks.

That is great Bob. If you could pencil me in for them, I'll post it on the local club Facebook page. I am sure I will get 2 takers.

Hi Bob. I am not bothered about track time, but if no other RHOCaR members want the remaining 2 tickets, I can ask at the Westfield club meet tomorrow to see if anyone there is interested. Rather that than waste them

The e-bay advert shows as ended already! That was very quick, just like the car!!

Thanks Bob

I wasn't able to go last year so I am not sure about the access. If I can get off the site and get away about 3.00pm without an issue, (I have to get home swap cars and be near Stratford by 6.00pm) then I would like the ticket. If getting out is an issue then I'll leave it for someone else who doesn't have the time constraints I have.

A brilliant week. 1850 miles in total for me including an extra day in Wales. Great company on the trip and lots of laughs. Looking forward to doing it again, wherever we decide to go next time!
