Have a great day @snowy892 🎂🍺

Hey ho it’s been a while 🙄 In 2020 we were heading for New Zealand then COVID struck, all our travel plans went down the pan,🙄 we were stranded in Australia for three weeks until we managed to get a flight home, 😀 Well we finally fixed it and my tee shirt came too🫣 Oh yeah and a tour cap 😎

@Vorix and @Mathew Vernon - Membership Secretary I’ve sorted it out, backstage error. A refund of £10 should come through in 4-5 working days, and I’ve added the 30 days you were due from your existing 60 day package to your annual membership package, taking you to 20 October 2026.

Thanks Ian. I’ll look into this @Vorix and come back to you

Snow is snow, just water. But what about salt on the roads?

And just in case anyone happens to be a fan of old Lambo’s, my current ones are:

And the Alpine

Ha! I’ve two of those, both cabriolets. 205 CTI and a 304.

@Mathew Vernon - Membership Secretary can you help ?

My trial membership renewed but I have already bought full membership. Can this be refunded? How do I cancel this auto renewal process? Thanks

I'll have the short steering arms if you're breaking the lot? Postage to the UK. Thanks.

That is lovely. I have a 2008 MK3 on 27K miles one previous owner - will be perfect for a BBR supercharger or turbo conversion one day 🙂

No sorry, I’m keeping that.

Is the front ARB up for sale too? If so, I'm interested

Not as much snow as I expected. I put the snow tyres on the Audi at the weekend only to discover that I had forgotten that there was a massive puncture in one that I had suffered last spring and that I had totally forgotten about. Seems that snow tyres are a little hard to come by just at the moment 😟

Brave man. I put the winter wheels on the Mx5 today and reminded myself just how good they are.

Hi Ash, I'll have them. Let me know the postage and I'll pm my details. Cheers Howard

Just a quick heads up to our fellow member @Rednop1. After thinking for quite a while, in May I've pulled the plug and messaged Ash to order a carbon bonnet and nose. It was a difficult request for him, as the lot needed to be shipped over to Italy, and I can tell you, it's not easy to ship such large parts outside the UK post-Brexit. He kindly agreed, and two days ago those beauties showed up at my house: They were packed like nothing else I've ever bought, could have been around the world a few times without getting a single scratch. He even messaged me a couple of months ago about my bonnet which was ready, however it showed a small imperfection, and he offered me a discount or to redo the part if I wasn't in a hurry. Top guy, top parts and top service. Couldn't ask for more.

Exactly what I was just thinking. This place I'm sure could be a very useful resource for them from time to time.

You've got a Peugeot!! I've no idea what the others are 😂

There was a supercharged, track prepped but road legal MX5 for sale at auction recently. I have to say it looked fab and the spec was amazing. I would say it could have been the most perfect combo of daily drive, weekend open-top toy and track day fun all in one package that I've seen in a very long time, maybe ever! Update: found it. £16k I think that's a good deal https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/19342801

A bit nippy today!

Thank for the heads-up about Zen Graphics. I've just ordered some of these for my wheels also. Plus some of their other decals, for my Alpine, Lambo and Peugeot. What a useful website that is!

It’s all part of the raw driving experience for me. If you want comfort and a quiet relaxed drive stick with a tin top. I still get excited every time I get the westfield out. Iam about to go aero screen and full cage after 16,000 miles/ 4 years of screen/doors which was only ever really comfortable wind wise with the doors on. Only reason for the cage, a bit more side protection in the event of an accident and front protection if I did hit a deer or something on an early morning blat. The reason for the aero screen, better visibility as the screen/side door windows gets misty and dirty and I struggle to see with the sun glare at times.

I look over the top of the wrap-around screen on my XI but I always wear goggles and a beanie/ flying helmet. I can get pebble-dashed with sand if following a tipper lorry, and the cockpit collects leaves on country lanes. Tbh, other drivers give me a wide berth and show much more respect than when I'm in my tin-top. The main concern is when some drivers just don't see me at all, but driving defensively is the order of the day when there's other vehicles about.
