Suns out durabang was out today

Not a photo, but it originated from one, so I guess it counts! My mam kindly painted this from a photo I took in Montenegro! Here's the original it came from!

Actually, should be able to catch up with you a bit later (around 12) as the appointment is at 09:30. I will be in touch to coordinate.

I think everyone with a new car should be made to come out and buy all of the others cake. 😀😀😀

Sorry couldn’t resist sharing this picture of friends who said nothing would stop them having fun this summer especially Coronavirus......

I'd have thought the lack of air flow through the radiator would have a pretty serious effect on their ability to have fun in the car this summer 😆

Good morning all from a bright and chilly Devon. I'm looking for advice about scaffold towers. We've recently moved house and our new place, a victorian rectory, needs some refurbishment. Since there is so much to be done I would like to purchase a scaffold tower so that I can complete the work safely and efficiently, and use it for regular maintenance in the future. External work includes repairs to eaves and gables, removing Ivy and repairing damaged mortar, at a maximum height of ~ 10m. Internal work includes ceilings at 3m, an Orangery at 4m, and Coach House with a vaulted ceiling. We have level ground around the whole house, and 75% of that is gravel or paving. A tower seems like the practical approach and much safer than a ladder. Does anyone have experience of using these and the pros / cons? Good brands or systems and where to purchase? I've been looking at this site for a few ideas, but am also interested in used towers. https://www.scaffold-tower.co.uk/Scaffold_Towers/single_width_2.5m_8x2/platform_height_7_7m.php For those of you who like a picture here's the new home, and the coach house. Did I mention the triple garage... plenty of room to work on the Westfield and for a new project when I've finished the refurb.

Hi Chris, just to let you know, received dash ok - thanks ever so much. cheers Craig

I was looking forward to bringing the car on its first proper run too, but I've got the kids and grandson at mine on Saturday morning. I'll get the cakes in next time!

UPDATE 06.03.2020: Please see the first post in this thread for more details!

I won't be able to make this one cos if I come back to the UK I'll have to self quarantine myself for fourteen days 🙄

Let's have a go at this weather forecasting malarkey. 😉 Monday 9th Croft Circuit 8am 9am 10am 11am 12.00 1pm 2pm 3pm 4pm 5pm

Worse than Covid 19,they’ve caught Caterham!

I identified the issue with the gearlever when I saw the Westfield supplied transmission tunnel top with the two holes in it (one for the BMC box and one for the Type 9. I went to Paul at First Motion Transmissions in Baldock (01462 896685). He shortened the rear extension on my gearbox so my gearlever comes up absolutely level with the steering wheel which I feel is ideal. Whilst the box was there, I had a rose jointed quick shift fitted, the short throw of which really suits the character of the car and a raised first gear makes it far more relevant in such a light sports car.

Will try!

Yep. I’ll arrange a baby sitter for Clare. 😀 and put the car back together again in readiness.

Couldn't miss out on a morning like this

The wife thinks I spend too much time with my car, so she bought me a new number plate!

I agree, looks really nice

I can't make it either, sorry! Hope it stays dry and have fun folks!

Can’t make it, sorry (opticians appointment).

No good for me as I made plans only just this afternoon for Saturday.

Probably won't be able to make Saturday, if it's Sunday I'll definitely be there!
