The people's scarecrow.

Yes, it probably wouldn't have mattered even if you'd known the 18psi in advance- I've never had a tyre fitter believe me anyway!

It would have been better if they had modelled her before the car accident! That looks more like Camilla!

Old age catching up with you?

I disagree with most of the above, except Chris! I drive mine in all weathers, with the exception of salty roads. Even on track orientated tyres, it hasn't killed me to death yet. Scuttle led also not sealed to aid quick release - have had no water related problems with electrics. A drain hole in the GRP seat and a couple the foot wells are a good idea though. Its a car, it won't melt, enjoy it I say!

Please note that there is a sheet on back of Magazine delivery address for applications if you don't want to do it onlne Hope to see you there

Never ever ever ever ever trust a tyre fitters pressure gauge !! (IMHO of course). Potentially even worse is when you have a (compulsory for warranty) "service" on the daily driver. My daily driver went in with correct pressures 31psi front, 29psi rear, came back 40 psi all round. Any of these would be better: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/85474/best-tyre-pressure-and-tread-depth-gauges-2017

I hat 20t/50/15 r888r's fitted on Saturday and was asked what pressure but didn't have a clue,the fitter guessed at 30 psi ! I take it I need to let some out and get them to 18 .

sometimes a pint just isn't enough...

Long Johns..? Guessing you are not a teenage lass out on the toon on a freezing December night, whose usual choice of garment wouldn't contain enough cloth to make a handkerchief. And by the way, that's how you know you have officially become an old man - when you can drive through a town center on a freezing cold Christmas party night and when confronted with a sea of nubile barely covered teenage female flesh you no longer think "fwoar..." all you can think is "for heavens sake lass, cover up or you'll catch a cold"

Thanks Ian, no the pads are fine (I've a set of DS3000's and the DS2500's I bought from Tom). TBH I think it's been like that since it's demo days. Its not out by much but I've been considering trying to sort it for a while. Just one of those little niggles that's not really bad enough to pull out the stops for (no pun intended). Just think it's better if I bite the bullet and replace the discs.

I shall be marshalling (probably at the first corner - Jochen), always pleased to see fellow club members. Just a warning though, Trackdays are very addictive! Blyton is one of the best circuits to have your first trackday and Tim is a good instructor - worth a least another 20bhp. Enjoy and see you there.

Ok I'll be there, so don't you lot turn me into Billy no mates Yep Graham I figured it was going to be a Tintop night.

Yes my seats now have holes drilled in them too and the soggy bottom is much slower to appear.

Hmmmm might work on the wife too...

Personally I don't go out if I think I will get caught in the rain, but sometimes you cannot help it. As above comments, but windscreen wipers aren't the most efficient, especially on the older models like mine, so Rain x is very good too for the windscreen - both inside and out lol...seriously put it on the inside as well.... Mart.

You will get wet, so will the car no matter how well put together or protected it is. ACF50 as Dave says is a lifesaver. Try and get one of those leaf blower things, this is great for removing water from all the nooks and crannies after a toweling down. Consider that some of the electrics are fairly open to the elements too. Above all - in the wet, the car can be a handful! Please take all precautions and have fun. A wet car can be easily dried; a broken car or worse a broken driver perhaps not so easily put right.

I have found it, cunningly bolted to the back of the dash!

Fighting the case for normality and a menopausal wife................. I turned the gas off at the meter................ fiddle with the controls as much as she likes, it wont do squat
