@Julie Hall - Peak District AO Margaret and I with A N Other will meet you for Breakfast at the Bird. 🍽️ If anyone from Manchester Area wants to join us, we will leave Oldham at 9am, passing through Glossop and onto the Snake pass, then through Bamford to Hathersage. When the main group head south we will head back north, either through Winnats pass or Strines and Woodhead pass back home in time for the F1.

I have been making removable posts so I can set up my hammock in the sunshine rather than at the top of the garden under the trees. The posts all lift out the ground and the tensioning cables at either end just unclip. Bed for tonight.

This is always a terribly heart breaking part of pet ownership. The thing to remember is that when animals become pets our human nature tends to over rule our humane nature. If you’re asking the question then you probably already know what the right answer is for your pet.

Hi, I’m hoping to make tomorrow if the weather holds out👍

As Dave said, no need to apologise....I'm almost the opposite and keep all my worries and concerns pent up and very rarely speak about it, not even to my wife. Why?? Not sure, maybe because my family (as in parents) are not ones to openly speak out about issues, so you deal with it and get on. Has this rubbed off on me? I guess so!! So if speaking about it helps then do so! Clearly there are a lot of animal loving folk on this forum and as been discussed already we feel the pain and emotions that are running through you right now.

Meet at Bird Cafe, Hathersage, S32 1EG, 10am Sunday 27th June for a full English breakfast and a natter before heading off into the Peak District in search of cake for lunch. Other food items are available to the less well trained😃 Anyone fancy joining us?

Thanks for the offer, I’ve got some leather care products from some furniture we bought so will try that in first instance thanks again 👍🏼👍🏼

unfortunately, a lot of leather in cars has sprayed on artificial coatings over the top, it’s not just raw, but dyed, leather.

I am so sorry for you old stager..at this difficult time..but you have done the best for him so far and I know you will continue to do so.. My thoughts are with you..

Ive got loads. Will be at the Peaks meet in the morning if it’s any closer to you Stu?

Thanks anyway.👍

ah yes i see where you are going with that good idea. i have silver 4mm ones but the post would not get there for monday, had to google to see where you are, bit far to travel for you.

That speedo is like a rev counter !!!

i can not help you as i have none, but if its really urgent, could you not just paint silver ones black, then swap them out when times are easier.... just a thought, ill get my coat, lol

and a nice soft landing, should you have too many lemonades the night before, lol... looks great well done.

I dont think you are alone, as i did that and i think we are the generation that was taught not to show your feelings, we were taught by our parents who themselves were taught by their parents, back then we were at war and it was the old stiff upper lip that the british had then thats said you should not show any emotions outside of your house. today thankfully we can and hopefully not be seen as weak somehow. i spent 40 odd years keeping my mouth shut and it did me no good at all.

A few more detail pics of front end and back

Looking clean! 😎

So sorry to hear this.......

Yep, @S2T Steve Arkley knows him, in fact both Steve's Westfield and Andy's Westfield ( 😄 ) are in some of the on track photos posted recently

It is truly bonkers! If it's the same guy, I think he also used to have a Time Attack Impreza with 1200bhp that ran a sub 8 second quarter mile!

Fathers day present.

No apology required. So sad to read this. Being right doesn't make it easier. But my heart really goes out to you.

His chats with Gerald cracked me up.

Ex-Stray Cats

Still missing out... ☹️ Bodywork still not back from the bodyshop. Itching to get it all back together and actually drive the thing instead of tinkering with it

Great work Simon. Many thanks for your efforts so far.

Great news! The southern convoy are also tagging along again! 😂 We've got @Andy83, @HB46443and myself meeting at the A38/A50 services at 0815-0830, then meeting up with newbie @Glynn Andrews in Derby for his first ever Peaks run in his new car!

No suprise that there's no discounts available. But your doing a sterling job trying. I think track obsession has low numbers on there side which I'm definitely looking for at the moment. I'm hoping to be able to book at least something else this year.

Started watching it at the begining of last week and just couldn't stop, the whole family felt the same. All laughing at Jeremy being himself and such an idiot at times. Absolutely brilliant, mainly for Kaleb and the others, who are so honest. Famer friends just love it, has shown the crap they have to put up with.

Just want to say that the car Chris built and kept us enthralled with on the boardroom is featured in this months Practical Performance Magazine. It is a great write up and looks fantastic and well deserved recognition

Hi all, In these Covid safe days we should all be cleaning our hands with hand gel after filling up with fuel but beware. We spilt some disinfect hand gel on the passenger seat and wiped it up almost straight away. However, when we got home we have noticed the top coating layer of the pvc seat has been stripped away. The Sports Turbo seats are only 7 months old and now look terrible in my new car. I would have thought Cobra would have chosen more resilient materials and tested them with typical spillages. I am in manufacturing as this is normal practice. I will call Westfield on Monday and hope they have good customer service to sort this out and arrange a replacement panel for the squab. Anyone else had similar issues and if not take great care with hand gels.

Worcester to Bamford is 125 miles and I'm exhausted after 3 long days and 725 van miles helping my youngest lad move house. Enjoy your day!

I won't make this one, sorry. Someone else can have a go as tail runner 😁. Have fun all and I'll see you soon 👍

i did not expect less than a week after i started this thread , to say i now know when the last day is. normally every morning he has a wagging tail and full of beans for the day ahead, this morning he looked quite peeved, no wagging tail and took far longer than normal to get to his feet, he was let out for his morning ablutions and then i feed him at that point, he eat just as normal but kept raising one foot at a time, presumably to take the weight off it - lessening the pain. climbing the stairs took twice as long as last week as well. before covid, my vets had a drop in facility, sadly this is no longer operational and having just rung them they are full for today and have very limited staff on a sunday which is for emergencies only. so unless there is a marked improvement, monday is the day sadly. as i have said already, i dont want to go down the pain relief route as that is just prolonging the inevitable, he is almost completely deaf, his eyesight is failing as he often can not see the treat in front of him, despite his nose telling him its there. sorry for posting my ramblings, but living alone i just wanted to document my thoughts. it sort of helps me... thanks all.

I'll miss this one too, my front hubs are currently with hispec . Have fun!
