Let the feast commence

@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary and I will meet you at McD's in the morning near to GBS, before the sausage fest, commences! Please dry the roads up, it's been too wet today.

Let's see how he replies:

You all missed the Panda limousine - just ask Mark 🙂 @Wilfman It may have been a small amount of alcohol which helped or just the general high spirits of the evening but he found it rather amusing....

No, they certainly don't. I use Listing practices Fraudulent listing activities You suspect that a listing is fraudulent For each of the 3 questions that they give you. Although I do sometimes wonder if you might get a better response using the cheating eBay out of fees by contacting outside eBay one, so have used that also. Trouble is they rarely get back you, just take it down.

I see the best looking chap is sitting at the head of the table, looks like he ate too much Tumeric

@Greenstreak-Andy D come for a ride with Dave or I, as discussed last night.

I have costed a new Ferrari and a bigger house. Have I funded it? Not a chance!

I bought some from Nicoman Mats. Sent a paper template and they were cut to size. Heal pad as well. Fantastic service.

Dates now confirmed. 31st July - 2ndAugust.

Wasn't sure where this should go... Stuff? Yeah I guess so. Nonsense? Not a bit of it! Anyway, perhaps I'm a day late with this as Mental Health Awareness week was last week, but here goes I've recently (almost) finished building my car, and all along the way this has had me dancing along a psychological tightrope. Due to various factors I have a tendency to strive for perfection, and this can get me into a lot of self-inflicted trouble (and has done in the past!). In a recent post I decided to 'come out' and share a bit of my story, in the hope that it would help others to be more open about any sort of mental struggles they have had, or are currently dealing with: https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/130867-the-lobster-88-se-rebuild/page/41/?tab=comments#comment-1422129 This can be anything from suicidal thoughts, right through to relatively-harmless-but-totally-draining overthinking (something I still do too much - mentally composing email replies at 3am while I'm lying awake, or practicing phone calls in advance!). If this describes you then you're not alone - even within this club - and I have always found the support that comes from all angles when I 'break cover' to be overwhelming, completely the opposite to my original fear of being seen as 'crazy', or being ridiculed, or even excluded. In fact it kinda makes you feel like you're in some sort of exclusive club when people pop up (both 'publicly' and privately) offering similar stories or support and understanding. It's extremely heartwarming. So, I guess the over-riding message is that it is perfectly normal to feel like cr@p sometimes, and that it's absolutely OK when that happens. There is support available all around if you allow it to come into your life. I will personally offer myself as one of these support mechanisms if I'm able to at the time, I'm only a PM away Feel free to share any stories here, you won't be judged and as I said, we'll be part of a (relatively) exclusive club, haha. And don't forget that whatever happens, there's always a fun and engaging toy with a shouty engine sat in / on your garage / shed / drive to allow you to clear your head at the end of a bad day Take care everyone, x

I felt like royalty..... sat in the back (due to lack of front passenger seat) with Jon up front driving!!!! The funniest bit was that I clambered in through the passenger door and though to the back..... then as we approached home Jon said I could actually have used the rear door..... who knew that a Fiat Panda limousine had 4 doors???!!!

I can time travel too:

This is how "using a drop-ship software that copies web pages for you to edit & saves in a database with all your other items. One click & before you finish boiling the kettle they are all listed." The facebook Scam group I am in have been reporting this account for more than 24hrs now but ebay is it's usual crap self at not doing anything about it. eBay really is **** these days. Be very very careful buying anything. It helps if you guys all report any of the adverts when you see them. They are really obvious as the 2nd picture shows a link to an email address to contact them on

I'm hearing @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO & @Trevturtle are heavily suspected to be involved in the travels of Tangoman. How very unfair and untrue! It's about time I showed my face..............all will be revealed.......................sooon..............................

Due to work and not being able to race I sold My race westy and bought another last year, Its a 2013 honda powered s2k ( not a s2000 chassis) 13000 odd miles from new, well happy with her done a lot of road miles and loved it, But it's now time to modify

To quote Maggy T "The problem with socialism is.. eventually you run out of other peoples money"

Think you got that one slightly wrong. "I have costed a new Ferrari and a bigger house. I'm going to take your money to pay for it."

The parts shop doesn’t list the whole range of parts available, though. ALWAYS, ALWAYS ring or email, if you don’t find what you’re after! Paddy and Jason have been steadily getting more of the range on there, but it’s a huge task, as there are thousands of parts/combinations available. @Westfield Parts Dept

Aye, thanks all for joining us, excellent food, excellent company! (And a big thanks to Ian @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO for doing chauffeur duties for the evening.

W2 is the correct class for you and AFAIK rose joints are fine.

If it's American..... my guess would be a skateboard or motorised roller blades..... it's far too feeble for any motor car. Nem.............

I think that really answers your question Don, why would anyone vote to make the country Bust in the very near future. Contrary to some political comentary the UK is actually doing pretty well financially, certainly seem to be better than a lot of the rest of the EU, which is looking like it's heading for a real problem. And have you seem how much they have just voted to spend on climate change, very scary.

They certainly were available separately in the past. I bought some from the WF stand at Stoneleigh about 3 years ago.

Sorry @NickBW It's the diff change not the tyres/wheel as you'll see the circumferences are virtually identical.

about six month ago I was reading about valve retainers cracking, being handy with the spanners and dieing to do something on her I pulled the rocker cover and got stuck in. Oh Me My 6 out of 16 had signs of cracking one was almost right through. boy that saved the day. I bought a tool off the net and you pull the spark plug put in a fitting to allow you to fill with compressed air keeping the valve up. did the valve steam seals while i was in too and a tart up of the rover cover.

Always great fun!

I've heard about that. Tried it once. Not for me.

We are intending to make it for this pre-Christmas sausage-fest. Probably see you at McDs!

Adam you must be the only person in the world who has a maclaren and a micra on the fleet

Sorry won't make it tomorrow. Just got home to find no heating and the house at 12 degrees after a week away. Probably boiler shopping tomorrow !!
