Sorry I'm away in Scotland

Hi, it was good to be at Donington again and the Westie went well all day. The only trouble was countless red flags which made things a bit stop start at times, mainly due to cars getting stranded in the gravel or breakdowns. Good selection of cars from 2CVs to Porsche GT3s and a Mclaren! Also several Locosts practising for races next week, which were going well too

Hi Mark, I usually do 5 or 6 per year including all of the tracks you mention and agree that Cadwell takes some beating I have a shared MX5 turbo which tends to get most track use these days, and in fact we will be at Bedford on Saturday in that car

@Mat Jackson 1975 I have one and an ST170 cover. See photos below. Both have been ‘trimmed’ and the blacktop Zetec version has had a lug cut off. Blacktop ST170

I’m still after one of these if anyone has one!!

Hi Neil i will pm you

Thanks Ian. You're probably right. I've recently had scam WhatsApps too, with both my name and the date and place of a Best Western I've booked. That was a known data breach, but this one isn't. Barstewards

Hello All, April has arrived and the weather is getting better I expect some cars may even be off SORN. The April meeting should be this weekend 5th April. As it's a holiday weekend and a lot of us are away I'm pushing the meeting back a week to the 12 April. Hopefully the weather will be nice and more of us will be available. See you a week on Sunday Thanks Rhett 7pm, 12th April at the Dudley Arms, Himley. DY3 4LB.

They've likely bought lists of reg numbers/mobile numbers etc off the dark web. Your details could have been leaked from numerous sources that have had your information, dealers, tyre garages, breakdown companies, insurance companies etc.

I was half expecting that to be a Rick Astley video...

First seen Dave in CCC write ups, he has always made a lot of sense.

Just got its MOT so if the weather is nice I will come to Quackers to say hello.

Thanks!

Welcome to the club car looks great

New member joining from Finland with 1993 factory built, luckily the spring is early this year so small outings are already possible

Excellent, I've known Dave for about 40 years and been an emerald mapper for nearly 30 .. walkers workshop was always the first thing I turned to in the old cars and car conversions magazine. Always a brilliant read. Very clever man.

Apologies if this is elsewhere - did a search but didn't find it. Anyhoo, Dave now has a YT channel, found it yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/@EmeraldM3D-Dave Only a few vids so far but hopefully many more to come.

Hi Andy Sorry for not replying to your post, have not been on the forum for a while. Glad you are now sorted and apologies for the late response. PS Fillet is still available if anyone is interested

All still for sale

Sorry we can't make this one

I do the same — suddenly I really need to buy something super important, so I take the car and turn a 5-minute walk or bike ride into a one-hour trip

Good luck with the search. i don’t think there was ever that many made; there was only five 4-branch manifolds made for the 1.6 engine and maybe 10-15 at the most for the 1.8. When originally released in 2013 they were only £350 but in the end the prices climbed to over £750.

Hopefully!

Perfectly normal I took mine out this evening to get fuel and couldn't find a closer petrol station than 20 miles away.

I assume that's unfortunate timing on the Stonleigh organisers side of things. That said, beyond on here, I've not seen any formal announcements or news articles regarding the company status.
