Just watched this one, was pretty good. (Chris used to appear on the Sky at Night , with Sir Patrick Moore before his sad death ) published 3 days ago.

Oooh flatslides! Nice rare carbs 😁 Great handling cars these. Bargain.

Now I have the Megabusa I’m Selling my tax exempt (1979 on v5 )Sylva Striker .Has 919 fireblade engine with flatslide carbs ,3.89diff, believed mnr reverse box ( clattery but works ). Comes with hood (has a tear in it covered with tape doesnt leak ) and sidescreens . Would benefit from some painting of front uprights and around engine bay and engine mounts .Great fun entry level kit I have owned for last 3 1/2 years Advertised elsewhere at £4350 but first £4000 from here takes it away . Based in Eastbourne Sussex

If it's decent weather I may well have a run up. Closest Peak District meeting point to me by far!

Don't feel bad @Paul Baker, my son bought me a 'build your own V8' model engine with moving parts about 5 years ago. It's still in its box unopened 😂

Do you make stone guards also? for an FW body.

Maybe a project for those rubbish winter evenings then, do start a thread in the Build Diary section, we love seeing photos, and as many of us here have built them before if you have questions one of us will know ( will be Robin we all know that - he is the expert it seems from all the models he has shown me previously, LOL) Hope the train set up goes well, reminds me of my own childhood...

Very little progress to report! I have successfully opened the box, examined all parts and bought the correct red colour paint, but actual construction hasn’t commenced yet. In my defence, my son has started building a hornby model railway and he’s roped me into helping with that over the last few months

open to sensible offers

Hi guys. As weybourne is cancelled a few of us are meeting at old hunstanton lighthouse car park at 10am tomorrow. Everyones welcome. Cheers martin

Likewise, its sun flare off the lens I would say, looks cool though - maybe not on an XI though ( or maybe, lol)

What the heck is going on there? At first I thought it was some wicked paint job 😂

In an incredible act of automotive sleuthing 🕵️‍😉, I tracked down an oil leak which was from one connection to my oil cooler. After an equally fine piece of diagnosis at our meet last night, Malcolm @Wessex pronounced ‘Stu, your oil cooler is f****d!’ 🤣 ‘Nuff said, replacement ordered and hopefully will be fitted this weekend so I’m up and running again.

Yorkshire area meeting this Tuesday evening at The Buffers, Rakehill Road, Scholes, LS15 4AL. I'll be there from 7:30ish. See you there.

Happy birthday guys, hope you have both had a good day xxxx

Hope to be there!

This trip has unfortunately had to be cancelled.

Bought one in 1994, owned it for about 14 years, crashed it, sold it to a mate who did it up and he owned it for about 14 years. When he wanted to sell it, I couldn’t bear to see it likely disappear to France so I bought it back a year or so ago. Won’t be selling it again 🤪. It will hopefully go to my son when I am too decrepit to drive it!

Between my second and third westfield I went for a week without one, the garage was empty….. it was a horrible week 🥲

Cancelled due to poor coastal roads in area. Covered in sea gravel lol. Some of us are meeting in old hunstanton lighthouse car park at around 10am if anyone interested. Cheers martin

I'll be making some Carbon ones over the next month (1st time so bear with me), depends if you are in a hurry? You could try @Rednop1 to see if he has some to sell?

The car is now registered and on the road as a 24 plate I'll try to get my son to put up some photos over the next few days so £14,400 ONO if anyone's interested. Barry

Ah , I didn't know that @Stuart thanks. Maybe why I was struggling with it then aside from its outdated firmware. I found trying to find things didn't make sense compared to the Apple product. If you recall ( its was a while ago now about 3 years?) I said I hadn't owned one before, and so the iPhone was the first one I had, even as a fresh user I found it quite easy to find my way around, not so with the Samsung. Oh and the reason I didn't want to pay all at once for car tax is due to this purchase, I knew I needed a new phone already and over a grand out of my account wasn't ideal in the same month. I have bought cars less expensive than the phone today.

Too late then I guess. I've had both and prefer Android. But Samsungs aren't typical Android; Samsung install a 'skin' over the top of the Android OS and install 'bloatware' which I don't like. A stock Android phone is different, you can tailor it exactly as you want it - and there are plenty of decent budget ones out there from about £150 up.

Oh my gosh , it's not just me then !!, every time a friend or family member visits they say what the hell I have still got this XXX for, get it on Ebay it's bound to sell. But I just can't - Given your last sentence @DamperMan, I'll see you at the clinic then
