The "Hope Floats" liquid raffle will be a Blyton thanks to David Richings. There are 2 small barrels of beer from the Ramsbottom Brerwery (not Daves house) It will be £2.50 a raffle ticket or £1.50 for half a ticket ;-) and you can try an win a container of liquid.... (so please bring suitable containers with you) All profits to the Hope charity As Meeting Secratary; we would like to raise as much money as we can for the HOPE against Cancer charity but also remember motorsport is dangerous and please drink (if you win) responsibly. Cheers Panda

10 Westfields, 1 Sylva Striker, and a Z3. Not a bad turn out, and I got my carbs balanced too.

We've got the mother in law coming to live with us for 3 - 4 weeks as she is in the process of moving house. I really can't wait, its going to be a fantastic time. Even better, because I work from home, I get to be here all the time! Really great stuff! I've made room in the garage, so she can store all of her stuff. This means that you won't find me tinkering in there either, I'll be in the lounge making conversation (whatever that is) Fabulous, really can't wait. Best 3 weeks ever.

Depending on work commitments will aim to join the trip at some point along route maybe meet at Alston, with Chris...and yes just an aero screen ! Speedy

Thanks everyone. Iowlee, I will be looking at downrating the trailer plate so I will be well within the 3.5tonne maximum. Unfortunately the rentals company only have a LWB transit with a tow bar, so I'm going to have to bite the bullet and move on from the M5 it looks.

Well if you go the Bridge of Cally...........etc I could meet you at Kildrummy and continue round to Tomintoul where I would then head over the Lecht and home.........

I haven't checked the dimensions, but as far as I was aware, flat section tube and camber adjusters were only on wide track wishbones.

Here ye go... The covers' white tab to front with cord around wiper shafts. Cords from side tabs go to seat bolts or can meet under Westie Rear under rear arches. Move the edge elastic around in it's channel until best fit. WsC cover easily fits Westie with MSA roll bar and windscreen.

I have a single axle Woodford and it tows like a dream. I've had plenty of twin axle trailers over the years and I consider this one to one of the best balanced when towing and the most easy to manoeuvre of all of them. I used to be blinkered into only wanting a twin axle but my experience with this one has dispelled that theory. If you are serious, there is a nice one here for sale - http://www.uphillracers.com/showthread.php/woodford-single-axle-braked-trailer-13002.html

Now look what's happened. I'm obviously holding my wand upside down or too tightly and got all mixed up with my quotes. Doh! Time to hide under my cloak.

She's back, and has brought her fridge magnets and put them on our radiator in the kitchen.

Kielder is not too far for me, so will be up for this if the weather is good - might meet up at Alston and join in there. While I'm up for getting soaked on a pre-planned overnight trip (like the Alps, Stoneleigh, Blyton, Silverstone etc) - a day out for a blat will always be weather dependant for us Aeroscreened Geordies
