Put your head down on your desk @Chris King - Webmaster and Joint North East AO... quiet time now. Quiet time... 😄

So can you count how many posts I keep moving to tech talk 🤣 They’ll be the ones with a technical question for us to talk about 😉

You’re all very naughty boys

I think as it looks like it's going to be another fun day I am going to make the trek..and hope that by then we are allowed to stay out overnight.. Andrew I will contact your subsidiary MSV and get booked on..

I'm defo in the 'mine's a tip too' club - though I know where most of the stuff is most of the time. Wish I had painted the walls white when we moved in, too much s**t to move now! It's not all mine though, the left side is commandeered by the missus' car, because (she) "don't do windscreen scraping" - I don't argue because I like being fed. My property back in NZ was a perfect man-land - the 'house' was a self-build barn with three car garage plus workshop downstairs, and a studio flat upstairs, all on 2.7 acres high up on a range that on a clear day you could see two snow-capped volcanoes 150 miles away. If you've wondered where my profile name comes from...

Paraffin works well, but you do need to expect a few leaks. I too have ITBs but my sausage filter doesn’t seem to filter out Bockwurst, should I switch to a German brand?

Eyups @Temnich23 mate! Wealth of knowledge on here for anything you need, hope you find a motor soon.

Hello Tom, I'm the local AO for the Yorkshire area, and as @Barnsley John says you're welcome to come along to the meeting and have a look around. We meet at the Swan and Cygnet on Denby Dale Road in Wakefield on the third Sunday of the month at 10 am. Not sure when the next meeting will be so keep an eye out on the forum for the date.

@Chris King - Webmaster and Joint North East AO .. didn't realise you had a private jet? 😉 ..Sorry Chris, couldn't resist.

I think you'll enjoy it Ian. I always think you sprint bods that just stick to sprint tracks really miss out on some of the best circuits in the country.. Oulton, Cadwell, and Donington to name but a few. 😎

Great thanks Andrew I will get it booked over the next few days and let you know. Looking forward to it. Ian

Hello everyone and I hope this finds you all strong in body and mind. Behind the scenes myself and the rest of the Stoneleigh organizing team have been closely monitoring the current situation and are hopeful that the show will go ahead in August (29th/30th). To enable us to tailor the show for all to enjoy whilst following any and all future guidelines on social distancing and hygiene we have decided to open it out to a vote so we are able to gauge attendance levels. The poll is very simple and only requires a yes or no anonymous vote and as members we really value your feedback. The voting will close on Monday 29th June to allow the team adequate time to make the magic happen. At the same time we need volunteers to help the show run smoothly so if you are able to give a couple of hours (or more) please email me directly using the email address below. Thank you for your time and we hope to see as many of you as possible at Stoneleigh Gail Jones Shows and Events Coordinator Email: gailjones99@hotmail.co.uk Club Website: www.wscc.co.uk The club is administered by a volunteer committee and a team of regional area organisers. Contact details for all club volunteer committee can be found in the magazine and web site.

Having cleared part of my garage I found this complete electric mirror system Mirror housings are in unmarked condition as they have been re-sprayed black, glass is clear and free of cracks and comes complete with a fully wired loom and switch. The cost of these mirrors alone in used condition seems to average around £25 each now and switches can rarely be found with connector and short loom. All labelled and ready to install. All you will need is a fused 3A supply. £65 + postage or collection from Northampton or possible delivery between Northampton and Loughborough

I have a sew running a 1.8zetec, race cams and ITB. What headlamp fluid are you using guys? And how you manage to seal the headlights? I have to keep filling them almost in a daily basis.

Have a great day @a15cro

If is still not allowed to stay overnight, i have massive space for trailers and two rooms @ barelly 20 minutes from the track. Im happy to host some fellow members. Whatever to actually help to get back to normal.

18? Sorry one of these is mine headmaster, I must be punished!

16?

MHR

Thanks for the link, they will do just the job for the trial fitting I want to try

I only didn't mention it because I'm not sure 185 road tyres will go well on 9" rims 😆

And @AdamR has not been over yet to tell you that rainsports in 185 for a trackday is everything you need... Well. Then i will. Rainsports in 185 and forget slicks. You wont beleave how fast you are next time you drive the car with sticky tyres... it will be like turning down the dificulty in you videogame!!

I might be able to do this one. Time is a bit tight in September if Italy is allowing us there by then though.

Found a matching plate for the car too Oh - hang on, I hate private plates. Long live the Q 😁

@Andrew you cant say "wanna to be in my gang" anymore 🤣

I haven’t read it, I’m busy fixing track cars.

Would be great to join you on this one @Andrew now that I have a trailer and can travel further afield, but I think I will leave Knockhill until next year. Definitely one I want to do though. I remember seeing touring cars there a few years ago and thought it looked like a great track. Have a good one!

Unless you are implying that i do drop the car from anglesey straight to yours, and you rebuild it... in 6 weeks I have about time for changing the rear brake pads... and that is about it.

6 weeks in between... that is enough for a full rebuild. Do it!

PLease. don´t fxxing mess around. Is stated very clear in the OP. Andrew Trackdays, MSV Dixon group.

Do we book through MSV Andrew or via Dixon Trackdays?

I agree - also hope you enjoy the extra seat time Ian!

What is happening in the States now is awful and sadly all this is doing is making a Trump victory more likely not less. There are 44 million black people living in the US just 13% of the population. Last year year there were just 9 black people who died at the hands of the police who were unarmed. There were allegedly more white people as one would expect with a larger % population. All deaths in these circumstances are regrettable but is it realistic to expect none given the state of the US where you have so many potentially armed? Clearly many blacks feel harrassed by the police which you can only really get if you are in their position I feel, no matter how many time the virtue signallers take a knee. The democrat big hitters fear Trump which is why they have put up Biden, who is expendable. If a big hitter went up against Trump and lost they would be finished, wait 4 years and they may well win. Biden is being made out to be an alternative, yet last night it was revealed that as a young politician he was active in supporting segregated schools and the bussing of black students which was just as divisive then as now. There are also the many examples of where he is a bit too handsy with females especially younger ones and the young lady Tara Reade who alleges he sexually assaulted her in 1993. The media will support Biden clearly which Trump will use to his advantage. So the hope of Trump being voted out is not the best one for change. Interesting if you have the time is to watch some of the Youtube videos by Brandon Tatum who is an ex police officer who is black. He cuts through some of the hyperbola that is going on and brings a clarity that is devoid from the media. They are lengthy but worth seeing things from a perspective devoid of political spin and hope to out Trump. Also worth a look is Ben Carson who again as the secretary of state for housing who is also black see things differently to others. No one should make light of the mood of the BLM movement and the support they have at the moment but truthfully this will die down when the next important thing to change your facebook page comes up as not that many stay on a bandwagon that long these days but hopefully some lasting change will come and we can all live together better, not that I have had any trouble living with my black neighbours or my staff who are black, there are good people of all race's

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Andy!

Many thanks Ian. Just waiting for Stannah to install the stair lift now I’ve hit 50! 😀

Happy Birthday to half of the Stoneleigh tea and cakes duo Have a great day
