All Activity

Very impressive! I’ve been trying to do a brief attempt at an owners/workshop manual for the Midlana. Very difficult to find the motivation tbh. Done about 20 pages so far.

Anyone want to meet up tomorrow morning, 2nd November at the Motorist? Have a chat and a coffee if the queue isn't too long. The weather is looking good and it might be one of the last chances to get out this year. I'll be there from 11am.

Sorry for the late post, it's the November meeting this coming Tuesday at The Buffers, Rakehill Road, Scholes, LS15 4AL from 7:30ish. Not sure what the weather will be doing, but If you haven't SORNed and it's not raining, come along.

Thank you Bob. Yes, I copied and pasted every page in it's entirety directly from the forum (including comments) into a Word document, keeping my text in 'black' and changing club member comments to 'blue'. Tbh, it was an extremely tedious and time consuming process, but I wanted to capture everything. The final couple of pages show the emojis of all the contributors 🙂. After formatting to remove spaces between entries and to get suitable margins, I saved the file to 'pdf' (approximately 94 Mb in size) and sent it off to an internet company be printed. The printing cost less than £100, compared to almost £200 in one of the high street 'specialist' shops.

Wow, amazing and inspiring. Did you copy the whole diary or filter it?

@Morris - count me in!

Cheers Andy, really interesting points in that video, and looking forward to see how this develops to affect Joe Public. I remember complaining when buying petrol at £1 a gallon, which is now circa £1.40 to £1.70 a litre, then I expect the synthetic fuel to be expensive until we have local (uk) manufacturers mass producing but this article brings home that it’s getting closer. happy days 🫶🏼🤞🙏👍

For the wimps out there, like me, who sorn there cars in winter, here’s how I do it. I have a couple of four wheel trolleys and with some strategical placed bits of wood I support the car so I can move it in any direction, to make most use of the limited space in a single garage. The timber supports the chassis and doesn’t allow the suspension to go into full droop. And here it is fully covered with old curtains and thick dust sheets under the Halfords car cover.

Steve, if it wasn’t polished before, it is now! If you’re going to the Black Country meet on Sunday can you park at Himley Hall? 😜

Looks like St George's cross. You might get asked to remove it !!

I have been to Shuttleworth many times, I for one would be interested

I am deeply impressed - I've been meaning to pull together a photobook of my build, but still not got round to it, three years later...

A hard copy of my 'build diary' was delivered today - all 636 pages of it...! 😬 The result of many evenings of copying/ pasting and formatting.

This might be something to consider for next spring/ summer for members within easy reach of the Shuttleworth Aircraft Collection in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. The venue is inviting car clubs to have an area to meet up in on the airfield at both event and non-event days. I've been there on a number of occasions for predominantly air shows (including the fantastic 'race day'). It's a fantastic relaxed venue with plenty of vintage aircraft (the majority of which are airworthy), the lovely smell of burnt caster oil, lots of parking and a great cafe. Obviously there's no need to book for just turning up with your Westfield (parking in the general carpark), but if there's enough interest we could make it a little more formal and park closer 'to the action' by pre-booking. Would there be any interest? We are a little under-represented for events in this part (Hertfordshire) of the UK. https://www.shuttleworth.org/

I honestly didn't think that there's be much interest in these seats. I'll get some pictures tomorrow of their condition.

Parts for my up & coming water rail fitting. Rail just ordered from Raceline, thanks Chris Smith, should be here next week.

We've got a spare somewhere give me a message

I'd be interested

So the winter project begins .. iam needing a heater/blower ducting and pipes to fit the complete heater in to a mega blade. Can anyone help ?

In September last year I had 2 grp seats delivered by Evri, I think it was less than 8 quid per seat. Don't tell them it's car parts though, many of them refuse to do it. We told them they were gaming seats and had no issues with delivery at all. That price was from Essex to Bristol so may be more for Scotland. Passport control etc 🤣
