I didn't realise Ron Champion had passed. I met him at his workshop/showroom in Peterborough many years ago whilst building my own Locost. Myself and my long suffering wife had been shopping and decided to turn up on the off-chance he was about. He was, and we spent the best part of 2 hours chatting about all things Locost and kit cars in general! I also got a new copy of the second edition of the book from him, which he gladly signed. My old copy of the first edition was getting quite well used! He seemed quite bemused by the success of the book and the number of people currently "in-build". An absolute Gentleman and, in my eyes, a true legend of the kit car industry. Rest In Peace Ron.

Let's hope the rain holds off.....

It's a Shark Raw but the Shark Street Drak looks almost identical. Plenty on eBay

Hi, yes Simon is my eldest son who has a real passion for cars and has a great reputation for organising numerous, very successful events.

Good point, I've yet to try my new carbon lid in the Westie. But this is what I normally wear. It definitely doesn't foul in my car, the back is nice and round,no fins etc

Any relation or a surname coincidence? Curious minds want to know. (Mind you, so do nosey minds.)

Brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣 I may sign up for half a dozen of them

How childish - of course not. However, I do offer a tyre inflation service where the front tyres are set to 10 psi and the rears to 70 psi so the benefactor spins under the lightest of throttles.

I have a caged car with aeroscreen, so my son and I wear helmets on longer journeys. We have bike helmets, but found they foul the seat headrest so you end up sitting in a weird position with your head forward. As they are bike helmets, they have slight fins on the back making it worse (see photo) What car helmets do people recommend? Ideally looking for low cost, as it’s for simple wind / face protection not on motorsport…

Do you offer a 'tyre letting down' service to make it tricky for some members to leave the show? I have a few mates in mind if the price is right

Apologies Al, glad you sold them. Now where were we.... This is the 2nd time recently I've seen in here bad news about insurance underwriters, last time it was Markerstudy who I'm with via AIB. All a bit worrying tbh

Yay, my eBay find actually worked out.... for once 😂

I bought a set of 200kgs bathroom scales and did exactly that. I'm single 😂

The WSCC Events team are yet to discuss. @Mike Williams - Show and Events Co-ordinator

Yeah I'm sorry, but as I saw they were sold i just ran with Steve's comment. 😉

This is somewhat off topic now 🤣, but the deflectors are sold!

I think a lot of us may be. Used by both Howden and AIB to my knowledge

Oh… that’s who I am with 😳

I tried to use the bathroom scales one time but the Mrs wasn't too impressed 😁 . Joking aside it was something that i kept meaning to do but never got round to it. Let's just say when i need to push it about with it not having a reverse gear it's very easy

A hood bag from the very helpful Laura at www.tigercars.co.uk via eBay. They are happy to make them without the Tiger logo and have piping to suit most car colours. If you do go down that route, ask for the straps to be made a little longer as ours are a bit tight on the Jap rollbar. Otherwise, very pleased with it. Also a matching hat from some random safety wear company 😎

Believe it or not but I'm still waiting on the settlement from KGM insurance! They really are the worst insurance company to deal with, my second formal complaint has just been acknowledged, so hopefully see an end to it soon...

Yep, I really rate Opie, especially for oil advice. On this occasion though eBay workd out a better deal for mine.

I saw the Nanodrive one but I've used the normal CFS before and I got a great deal from Opie with a free litre
