Thank you

Quite right. Keep me locked indoors so you know where to find me when something I’ve done goes wrong.

I don't want the Captain wandering around outside. He's far too useful sat at his keyboard keeping the forum and our membership happy!

Are you and @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO working together?!? Btw, you’d be amazed what you can access and get away with while wearing a hi-viz. I also recommend a “Motorway Maintenance” sticker on the back of your car and an amber light for beating motorway traffic jams. (I never worked in road maintenance, but it works.)

I'm sure the club would greatly appreciate your assistance, so Don your hi-vis and go find out.

Don’t think he’ll know unless he has a crystal ball. I live locally as I’ve said before, and it changes weekly and without warning. Keep your fingers crossed is my advice. They’re building a huge bridge right outside the Stoneleigh exit, which I presume is to allow HS2 to go underneath the reworked roadway and through the northern section on the showground. One week the road is open, the next week it’s closed. What I do know is that there’s no signs warning you it’s closed until you’re almost on top of it and you have to make a 3-point turn on a B-road. HS2 around here is pretty much a law unto themselves. The road between Leamington and Southam was supposed to be replaced with a temporary road right up until a fortnight before tunneling work began, then HS2 said it wasn’t possible (cost - yeah, right) and shut the road for 18 months requiring a 10 mile diversion.

You know, at this point I’m beginning to think you don’t like me Ian, and you’re just finding work for me to keep me busy… For those interested, here’s the ranks: They are obviously adjustable in level name, target level, and levels can be added or removed.

Hi Malcolm LONG VERSION: You can ignore it, everything is fine. It’s related to me working backstage on straightening out the recent small issue with unwanted and unexpected auto renewals. I could explain it to you in depth but by the time I finished typing it and you lost the will to live reading it, it’s entirely possible that the Sun might go supernova and bring me sweet relief from forum histrionics. SHORT VERSION: You can ignore it, everything is fine. Sorry for any inconvenience, good sir.

Maybe somebody from the club could reach out to Simon via his email (on this link) and see what info he has about the road issue? https://carshowco.com/replica/

Isn't what you are suggesting @GCP17 already in place here - Leaderboard Perhaps @Captain Colonial can explain how it's currently configured, if you're suggesting the levels need tweaking? His response may assist further discussion on this topic as due to an apparent lack of builds/new car purchases, I do agree the forum isn't as active as it used to be.

Have a great day @Rusty Nuts

@Captain Colonial can you advise on this one, please?

The sofa ?

You do a great job organising that for us jason. Much much appreciated be east anglia area

Today I received an automated email saying my membership has expired because I have not paid my £35 subscription, which I paid on the 22nd Jan and have a receipt from that date and an entry on my bank statement. Should I just ignore it? Malcolm

Race Retro is on soon. There is still the rally stage area but it's to the right of the main hall as you walk up to it, not sure how much of the site is left where the main kit car show areas were. Hoping it won't be cancelled due to the rain again this year.

I know this is just a bit of fun but I wonder if the post ranking system is setting the bar a bit high? Could it not be an incentive to encourage a wider participation - especially for newer members - in the forums? Perhaps you could progress through the ranking based on cumulative number of post views ? Other forums do this and typically after a thousand views you reach the next rank.

I did not know that about Stoneleigh, that would be a real shame for the shows 'first run' if access is not available. Hopefully they can get something sorted.

Hi Looking for a bike engine props, the split type, ideally Sierra rear R1 front, but happy to adapt. Any help is appreciated. Juls

In order to prevent the club having poor relations with them due to my “thoughts and experiences”, I shall refrain from sharing them - colourful as they are. Stoneleigh is a LOT closer for me (5 miles!), but there has to be a question mark over it at the moment. Those of you familiar will know that HS2 is going straight through the showground and has been causing local traffic issues for years. They are currently reworking the road outside the showground entrance substantially. By that, I mean that road is currently completely shut between Stoneleigh village and Blackdown. Will they get it done in time? I’m not betting on it.

oh dear, are they a bit rubbish? I appreciate it will not be you guys delaying sending info out. But, with there being a new show at Stoneleigh, i wasn't sure if there might be a switch for WSCC main show attendance. Malvern is a great venue, but Stoneleigh is more central and closer to me i would probably only be able to do the Saturday at either venue this year as Malvern is a trek and Stoneleigh clashes with Kimbolton Country Fayre (which is the best mixed car show in the East Midlands/East Anglia region that that i organise a WSCC stand for at least 6 cars (massive effort ) (more should attend!)) I believe the promo on here started in Jan last year

Don't get me started on Grosvenor...!

@Martin Aldred - Shows & Events Coordinator may I leave you to reply? @Boftus we started to advertise Malvern at the end of March last year. We may start earlier this year but are constrained by Grosvenor Show, as they don't supply information of confirmation of our plot etc until then. Great to read you're keen to support.

My email address is in my profile. If you want to sell me the roll bar and seatbelt protectors, tell me the price including shipping and I'll pay you by bank transfer, PayPal, or card, whichever you prefer.
