I don't agree with this, look up global cooling, from 1920 to 1990 we worried about entering another ice age, that's 70 years of global paranoia! 1990 to 2000 no global paranoia! all good nothing to worry about for 10 years. 2000 to present day, global warming ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! were all going to die!!! that's only 19 years of global paranoia! The planet is 4.5 billion years old any data we measure over 100 years is not relevant.2 points

My wife uses a Focus for her daily drive of about 12 miles . You can buy decent S.H. for around £400 - £500 and save a lot of pennies and no worries about buying expensive spares . Its a no brainer afaics2 points

Normally I lock my steering wheel in Chris's car when we go hiking but this time with the cars being separated, that wasn't an option, so I couldn't resist this shot. When you want to do a big hike but can't stand leaving your Westfield behind (or when you have no doors and want a but of extra security). Either way, FreeWheel has you covered! The way down continued to yield some beautiful views too. 8 hours and 16 minutes after setting off, we arrived back at my car. The guy in the national park ticket office there told us that there had been at least 200 photos taken of my car that day! We packed up and drove around to Chris's car. After the cold the night before, we thought we had better lose some altitude before we found a campsite, and this is where I found my only issue with Montenegro (although it's really an issue with my car, rather than Montenegro...). I had struggled a little in the build with figuring out how to get the Westfield fuel level sender to communicate with the koso dash. After reading back on some old posts on the forum, I bought a Spiyda gauge wizard. I spent hours calibrating it to the point where it sort of works. The top half of the tank is fine, but when I go below 40%, I'm not really sure what's happening. We set off for a 56km drive to where the campsite was, which was right on the limit of where I thought I could reach. Somehow, Google turned that 56km into 80km, and there were no places to fill up on the way. By the time we pulled over, my guage had been flashing at me for a long time! To top it off, the first two camping spots we had aimed for were no good, and when trying to leave to get to a 3rd one, Chris bottomed out on a rock and got stuck. Fortunately I had packed a tow rope, so strapped it to the roll bar and managed to pull him free. We made it to the third camping spot without running out of fuel, parked up and cooked some dinner figuring we'd find a petrol station in the morning. Not the perfect way to end the day, but still one of my favourites all things considered!2 points

This one is one of the best days I've had so far, and as a result is so photo heavy it's going to be at least 2 posts if not 3, so bear with me! The cold morning certainly didn't put us off our hike for the day. If anything it made us a bit more efficient with our packing to get moving! We were hiking up Bobatov Kuk, with a summit at 2523m. There are a couple of different trails you can take to get to the peak, but to give ourselves more views, we chose to do a different start and finish point, so we dropped my car at the end of the trail, bundled all of our stuff into Chris's mx5 and drove to the start of the trail. Even the view from the car park was amazing! It felt freezing when we got out of the car so we were wrapped up warm at the start of the hike. The elevation at the start was pretty steep though, so it was only a matter of minutes before we were down to a t shirt and shorts. Of course with the cold start we forgot to put on sun cream though! The views just improved as we climbed: The final bit up to the summit was a slog, but definitely worth it!2 points

Thanks guys! This club, and of course Patrick and Jason from the WSC parts team are a massive part of this trip happening. There's no way I'd have finished that car and gotten this far without all the help along the way so I'm glad people are able to enjoy the updates! For anyone thinking of doing this or something similar, really just go for it! It's not the most relaxing way to spend your free time but it's brilliant fun, and really not that difficult or expensive (assuming you've got a car to go in!) Hah, yeah, it's definitely going to need a good clean and a service when I get back! There's dirt from 19 countries all over the car so far. God knows what I'll find under that!2 points

I might be up for this, depending on how hardy I'm feeling..... Looks like zero chance of rain, but 100% chance of rather chilly - the Aldi heated seat cover will have to come out, as well as the old motorbike winter survival gear1 point

Just a quick update I fitted two of the normal Rj45 fiddly type of connectors on to the original cable and the camera came straight online. I'm just hoping I don't need to replace the other 70 connectors I've already fitted. Thanks for the help guys1 point
