So Wednesday the forecast was looking good so we thought why not and we are now sat in a B and B in Keswick. I got on booking.com to sort accommodation till Monday then got loads of routes and passes to do from @Dave (OnliestSmeg) - Manchester AO Who very kindly put them on Google maps and emailed them to me. We left Brum Thursday morning heading up cross country to the lovely Peak District. I have to thank @Julie Hall - AO Representative, Peak District AO As we done a few runs round them with her and others so we know them ok ish now. The best bit was lunch on Mam Tour before heading to the Snake Pass and in to the Dales via all the reservoirs and Holmfirth. We then headed to Pike End road of the A672 to Sowerby bridge and cross country to north to Wiggleswoth where we stopped over. This morning back on the road via Settle, Hawes and the across to the Lakes via Sedburgh, Windemere and Ambelside. We then did the Inner lakes passes circuit including Wrynose and Hardknott, absolutely fantastic. We doing them in reverse tomorrow. Need a shower and a pint now.

The fighters are impressive, but the heavy stuff is mighty impressive!

Look at this lucky b******* Arron Kaufman ex Gas Monkey fame

Thanks all, Glad I joined already, got a roof sorted from a forum member, picking it up tomorrow. Hopefully get a chance to tinker and go for a run this weekend. Now, had a spare hour today, and was feeling the rear of the car was a bit boy racer, so gone a bit old school instead. Not everyone taste, but I like it. Just need to grab a red fog lamps lense, pretty sure it's a £4 Landrover lamp, so I'll pick one of them up.

Unless you have inside information from a Air Base it's all it a bit hit and miss I'm afraid on what's coming through. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/operational-low-flying-training-timetable That tells you when they are planning on using LFA''s ,but the Mac Loop is not actually part of LFA7.But at least if you go on the days they are warning they are using LFA7 you surely must be in for a better chance of seeing something! The day me and Craig went we landed very lucky,a good sign was the people there with the stars and stripes flying Within 30 min's of us getting there we had three F15''s pass over I dread to think how many hours ElwynR spends sat up there to get the footage he does!

13th October.

Based on that being BHP per £, my car is now available for sale for £42,000 plus VAT. Form an orderly queue here. Sold to who? Individuals or dealers? Already made cars or deposits for production? I'm betting it was a huge stunt with the buyers getting free tickets to the event if they agreed to say the order took place on the day. If someone tries to blow smoke up my they shouldn't be surprised if I fart.

Its a shame that Rich cant teach Dave how to drink.....and get him p********

Dave Cleaver and Richard Kerr have just been spotted in the paddock area and are exchanging info on the best lines, speed and grip available......but thats just in the parking/trailer area!

Thats just the ******g big front spoiler that causes that

There are lots of variables - tyre type, tyre pressure, caster, camber, rack ratio, steering wheel size, condition of column bushes / UJs, etc. - but I'd hazard a guess at the big ol' engine up front is a part of what you're feeling!

I had the same issue with my Seight, had 30psi all round when I picked it up from the previous owner, this was the best advice I found:- "The correct tyre pressures depends on the weight of your car (including passengers and luggage so this will vary), and the size and make of tyres. You will need the following information to calculate correct PSI for any given combination: (Gross) weight of vehicle load rating of tyres at max PSI (the sidewall will have this information - something like 600kg at 44 PSI etc) For example, the weight of my legacy with some passengers and baggage I've worked out at 1700kg My Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD2s are rated for 545KG at 44 PSI so: 545kg x 4 = 2180kg (max load) 2180 (combined max load) ÷ 1700 (vehicle weight) = 1.28 44 (max tyre PSI) ÷ 1.28 = 34.31 So you should inflate your tyres to 34 PSI / 2.4 bar in that example." I run 18 psi all round, Cheers

There's a website for the Mach Loop activity. @CosKev knows about it as we had a great run down there last summer (really really good roads around Machynlleth) and also saw a few jets.

These do look a lot smarter than the older style 5 3/4 and a lot brighter. but are they iva and mot friendly I think not

And don't forgot your inoculations... To protect us from your germs

Wife (latest) mentioned about lighting the open fire soon as the temperatures on the weather forecast showing under 10 deg in the evenings,last night. I chose to ignore it, which she should be used to, as I ignore most things she says

John I'v got a mate who delivers fuel for Shell. I could ask him if he fancy coming with us?
