Hello everyone, just rejoined after a gap of about 15years, ordered a MX5 based kit. Hopefully turbocharged by the time its fitted.

If I were a King I would ensure that all of my subjects were taught English, their grammar, spelling and usage would be of a the highest order . exempli gratia: To is not the same word as too; Knife is singular, Knives are plural; When U follows Q it is to form a sound; Less bouncy = firmer, "powerful-er" ( shame on you), Less powerful = weaker, why use two words when one will suffice? However, I know that "DamperMan" was just merely having a laugh, you were weren't you ?

I am

Anyone can run a trackday, all you need is a willingness to stump up £10k in the blind hope that you'll cover your costs . It is good fun and if you can get the punters the rest is fairly straightforward, pro instructors can run the event for you, insurance is available at a daily rate etc. The issue is that they will go on every forum they can find and get loads of comments about what a good idea it is but when it comes to getting the bookings in they will suddenly find everyone has to work that day, or their car isn't quite ready, or the circuit they have chosen is too far away etc. I wish these guys a lot of luck but I've got the teeshirt on this one, we ran trackdays as a hobby for eight years and in the end we packed it in because we were still working just as hard to fill events as we were at the start. You have to commit a lot of time and money but my feeling is unless they can build it to the point where they are running events at least monthly and ideally almost weekly they will struggle to keep the momentum going in the long term.

So I took the dogs for a walk today and passed by a new housing development going up nearby on an old brownfield site, which is great overall. Or is it? Observe this artwork adorning the temporary construction fencing - looks charming, doesn't it? The sort of place you'd like to visit or maybe even live. But let's take a closer look, starting on the left. A happy young couple pushing a prom. Nothing unusual there. Apart from the teddy bear in the bottom of the pram, which begs a few questions: Why is the teddy bear not in the pram? Is the child in the pram being punished? Is there actually a child in the pram at all? Maybe these two happy people are actually using the pram to steal babies and the teddy to entice them and keep them quiet. Lots of questions, but I'm sure you'll agree it's very odd and suspicious. But I digress. Let's move on to the next bit of the image, a child on a swing: Why on Earth is this child on a swing five foot up in the air? What sick mind installed the swing that high up? More importantly, how did the child get up there? Who put the child up there and then left it there? Is the child about to jump into the pram as it passes by? This is very disturbing in my books. But I digress. Time to consider the lovely dog: That's definitely not how dogs walk or run. Is it trying to evolve into a higher life form by walking on its hind legs? Is there something dangerous in the pavement the dog is trying to avoid? Or is the dog evil, rabid, or about to attack? We soon get our answer: It's attacking the cyclist! Bad dog! Naughty dog! It's going to jump the cyclist from behind! What could possibly drive a dog to do this horrible thing in such a nice new neighbourhood? Because the cyclist is about to run over some ducklings! Look at him go - head down, pedalling like mad straight at them. What a scumbag! And what are Momma and Papa Duck doing while their children are about to be flattened? Just staring at each other - stupid quackers The dog will probably eat the soon-to-be duckling pancakes after he rips the cyclist's throat out. On reflection, I've decided that if this is the sort of thing that will be going on, then this new neighbourhood is someplace I should probably avoid.

Only if he pushes it round where he lives currently

That explains the smug look on your face. And I thought it was because you'd just been for a blat in the Westie

Welcome there are plenty of us in Cheshire come to the meeting on 5th January Cheers jon

If you can still read the number plate, it's not dirty.

I don't log into the website very often!

Not strictly an issue with our site - but a DropBox update could affect a number of users including myself. Here's what they said recently... Hi Chris,We’re always looking to improve the Dropbox sharing experience. The Public folder was the first sharing method we introduced, and since then, we’ve built even better ways for you to share securely and work together with your team.As a result, we’ll soon be ending support for the Public folder. Dropbox Basic users will be able to use the Public folder until March 15, 2017. After that date the files in your Public folder will become private, and links to these files will be deactivated. Your files will remain safe in Dropbox.If you’d like to keep sharing files in your Public folder, you can create new shared links. Just make sure to send the new URLs to your collaborators.In addition to shared links, we have a number of sharing options designed to make collaboration easier and give you more control. To learn more, visit our Help Center. The Dropbox team So, to me that translates as "all your DropBox images you linked to will no longer display on the forum" Great...

I used Halford's own primer, paint and petrol-resistant lacquer. I think their paint is fine, as good as any other rattle cans. That was Vauxhall Carbic Blue like the old Corsa's are painted in lol.

Very tempted if I have a running car

Wow Billy, did you go on a 'Bender' after the curry and you've only just got home? If so, I'm impressed!
