Last Sunday Pink Jim and Julie plus Pistonbroke and me went for a run in the Yorkshire dales, ending up in Hawes, for me it was 143 miles 😀 Today lonely Jim plus Si Dalziel and me went to Hawes again by a different route (Jim don’t half know the roads round here) this time it was 170 miles for me, I think my mojo might be coming back😎

First impressions. Fits my MSA roll bar nicely. Very impressed the quality of this from Soft bits. Nice thick sturdy waterproof material. The elastics are again strong with adjustable length chunky plastic clips. It all feels like it will last. There are a couple of window suckers to secure to the front of the screen. Also comes in a nice little bag to stuff it behind the seat when not in use. perfect for a weekend away!

194 miles for me @Paul Hurdsfield. Some really good roads travelled and the pain of the M6 home. Even got to see some lesser cars cars at our cafe stop. Will hopefully get some decent stills off of the camera later when I can go through it.

made a mate a bit of a mancave art he is a bit of a coffee nut

No something even better but I will let the managing director of rush motorsport tell the story

All off the GoPro Aah yes the lesser cars Remember this?

A few more pics. No pics of Mega Matt on track? .. sorry. 😞

Andrew if I had known you had some footage I wouldn't have bothered running to get a photo..

Yep….. invested in one of those last year….. good product, well designed, and well made. It’s been invaluable for our mini tours.

Please lower your head ma’am, we’re shooting the cover for Parents magazine.

A friend of my daughter's was temporarily living in Norfolk for some reason unknown to me, and he needed some extra income so he went to the local Job Centre to see what they had. He say an ad for a singer wanted, and he took this card to a desk and asked about the job as he was a vocalist in a band at home. To cut to the chase it turned out that it was not quite what he expected and the title had to be pronounced with a 'soft' 'g' as in "sinj-er" to work at a pig slaughterhouse. Burning the hairs of the skin of dead pigs!

Absolutely! Plus first track day with the little one so wanted my own car just in case I had to get back…

Blast from the past!

Cheers.. I think Ali has come to expect cake or sausage rolls as part of the Westfield experience. I blame Julie 😊

16 something. Exact spec unknown but produced 120 bhp on the rollers.

Hi All, I just wanted to explain the reason why I have been absent from the forum for a little while. Back at the beginning of the month, my daughter of 3 years old started to act strange and telling us she felt a bit wrong. Thinking it was a cold (as she had a slight temp) we treated it with Calpol and it seemed to help. As the month progressed her temp went back to normal but she was getting irritable, sleepy and very lethargic, spoke to the doctor to which they just said keep an eye on it as it could just be a growth spurt etc.. A few days later before her bed time she asked to go to bed, something that concerned me greatly. I was up until the early hours with my wife stating that something was not right with that and insisted that we take her to the doctors in the morning. When waking her the next day (she normally is up at 6am) she was awake but pretty much unresponsive, not talking or anything. Taking her to the doctor and doing some tests showed that her Glucose levels were really high and her keytones were really high as well. She was suffering from Ketoneacidocis. We were told to take her to ER right away. My wife took her to the hospital it was confirmed she has Type 1 Diabetes which is an Autoimmune disorder which isn't related to diet or exercise but is caused by something as simple as a Cold of flu virus, the doctors still don't know what causes the body to do this but it does happen. So this was a massive shock to us and she had to stay in hospital for 5 days while doctors got her blood back into a less toxic state and the glucose under control to some extent, we also had to learn how to treat our daughter moving forward. She needs 4 injections a day and all her food needs to be calculated before she can eat etc.. After 5 days my wife and my little girl came back home from hospital and we started to get to grips with the new adjustments.. However on top of all this my wife at this point was due to give birth to our second daughter in the next couple of weeks, this obviously put the pressure on to make sure we were confident with treating our daughter in time before the baby was due to arrive.. Fast forward a few days to a Saturday, we felt confident enough to take our daughter swimming as we want to make sure she does not feel that anything is a miss in normal life.. however my wife was complaining of irregular short sharp pains during the day. That evening they started to get worse, so my wife called the hospital for advice, they said it was nothing to worry about and to just keep an eye on it.. We went to bed and that's when the pain kicked in, yes my wife was in labor, as we have no one at home to look after our 3 year old and due to covid only allowing 1 person in with the mother, I had to stay at home while my wife went in on her own. She ended up spending the night there and the labor seemed to be long like the last one. I managed to get some friends around early in the morning to babysit our daughter so I could go and see my wife and hopefully the birth of our baby girl in between giving her, her injections. Luckily when I arrived she was being prepped for a C section as there was no progress, so I arrived got into scrubs and right into the operating room where my wife was, the operation was taking a little while and time was approaching to administer our daughters next injection.. luckily our 2nd daughter was born with just 5 mins to spare and I got to hold her, I then had to rush off and tend to our other daughter.. As my wife had a c section she is not allowed to do pretty much anything for 2 weeks and not able to do any lifting, driving or work for 6 weeks. In the first few days our 2nd daughter started to lose too much weight, So back to the hospitals to work out why our 2nd daughter isn't gaining weight and after an anxious wait (thinking it could be the same issue), the blood tests all came back fine and all it was down to the fact my wife was so stressed with what was going on it was effecting her supply. So this is where I have been, looking after my girls. Needless to say its been one of the worst and best months of my life, heartwrenching but also joyful... its a odd one to feel... The good news is, that we are getting there with our daughters blood glucose levels, our new little one is now putting on weight and my wife is back on her feet, So I should be able to update you all with new offers etc .. I just wanted to share this with you all just to explain my absence
