A BlinkStop kit with 10% WSCC discount makes a nice Christmas present I've heard

Terry's bonnet from Carbon Mods weighs next to nothing!

Thanks Kevin, it's been a pleasure serving the Essex Area as an AO and also the Club I'm certainly not planning on leaving the club anytime soon or for the forseeable future. I've got a few projects in the pipeline which include finishing a house refurb and also the restoration of two JW4's. I'm also halfway through putting a book together on the history of Johnny Walker's Racing Cars so I'm struggling to find the same time to give to the club that I have in the past. I consider many of the people on this forum to be my friends so I'll still be wasting my spare evenings on here and helping others as best I can.

Lovely run out in the sun today. Across the moors to Cheddar (still loads of grockles about!), run up the gorge behind a Z4, bit suprised at one point to meet a car and caravan coming down! Over the top of the Mendips to Blagdon, for a pub lunch, then up Burrington Combe and home via Wells. The financial controller took a video on her phone, but didn't turn out to well unfortunately! Farmers really busy harvesting maize, and leaving half the fields on the roads. Think I need to fit some mud flaps. Not spectacular backdrop, but in the wilds of Somerset Home, washed and dried, and tucked up in the garage, ready for next outing. I'd fitted the sidescreens before we went out, certainly makes it more civilised cruising round this time of year, we could even have a conversation! Has highlighted a bit of a rattle that sounds to be coming from behind the dash though. Investigation required tomorrow.

I measured my v8 bonnet with reflective shielding and mesh grilles and got 6kg. My bare carbon bonnet weighs 1.5kg I don't have a nose cone yet......

Mutter... mumble... bl**** kids... mutter

Put it like this.....you would not want to let go of the nose cone or bonnet in a light breeze...you might never see them again

I read too much booze can inhibit calcium absorption so steady as we go. Apparently India Pale Ale has the highest silicon level to aid bone recovery.

Please note that the indents are present to stiffen the top of the bonnet at its widest span. Taking the indents out partly or completely will compromise its rigidity.

@Kit Car Electronics is a very clever guy pretty much at anything I think

Stick with it and you'll be fine

How kind of you to ask! Six weeks on and I had a follow up yesterday. I’d had a bad Sunday where I accidentally overflexed my left hand at the wrist doing something incredibly ordinary, and it made my pain receptors light up like Blackpool illuminations, which took 36 hours to calm down. More x-rays yesterday and the 3” long crack in my ulna is healing, but it will probably be another 3-4 weeks before it’s fully sorted. I had feared some tendon damage but thankfully this seems okay. So still popping pain killers but slowly getting better.

Nice to think you’re thinking of me. i quite liked that Mondeo.

I wonder if I'm related to Glen, I might be able to get a discount

Thanks for coming along.... Jim Paul Chris Terry Wayne

He really hasn't got a clue what he's talking about

Good idea, don't want to give him any excuses!!! Car is beginning to look like a car again and as long as it survives test run on Friday morning we will be there with the car. Nothing like leaving it to the last minute!!!

I wondered why she got that drunk that night! and gave you such a large breakfast in the morning, keep your energy up I suppose

I spent a few days in late May/June in the Norwegian fjords on this:

Please don’t. I felt bad enough.

You couldn't make this up:

ECOR = ex-chairman off road After weeks and weeks of work and several thousand quid spent, I was putting literally the finishing touches on the full kitchen refit this afternoon. Up a step ladder when without warning the steps shot out from under me sideways and before I knew it, I was on the floor on my left side, dazed and confused. After about 30 seconds, the pain started to get my attention big style. Within two minutes, I was really suffering and in extreme pain, particularly my lower left arm. One ambulance ride to A & E later (no blues and twos, how disappointing, but lots of gas and air) and three hours later, I'm home with a broken left ulna fractured just above the wrist, which still hurts like hell. Worse, with my forearm in a full cast, no driving for six weeks. First time I've ever broken a major bone in my life, a record I was proud of. This sucks.
