Two either brave or foolhardy Westies out playing last night in the dark and rain at our meet in Cullompton. I came over the (pitch) Blackdown Hills with some fog in places which was fun, particularly with the two candles which I call headlights 🤪. Grateful thanks to @colin homewood for his Roadside Assist service which got me going when my car wouldn’t start. I did feel guilty letting him push! Should have been the other way around, but many thanks Sir 🫡. I just popped the rather muddy car in the garage last night, but he had a good wash down at lunchtime. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating that I’m really pleased with my side screens, half doors and half hood. There is little buffeting even at motorway speeds, and no water comes up between doors and bodywork so I stayed nicely warm and dry even without a heater, and because the car is open still, there’s no steaming up. What’s not to like?

Not a particularly recent snap, but the last time this one went out properly. (and yes, it does have a front splitter. I believe there was an incident with a kerb....)

Never had one just keep a can for getting you home and relay breakdown. Would take one if travelling outside UK.

Now sold. Thank you Mighty Mart and 7Westfield for your kind comments.

Will do and thank you. They are in for powder coating at the moment and hope to have them back for Saturday. Russell.

Why use heavy timber and plywood ? you could put up a lightweight suspended ceiling with insulation above. https://www.insulationexpress.co.uk/mp563-glass-fibre-polythene-enclosed-thermal-pad?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6vaqBhCbARIsACF9M6n9K9x1U3OI0mU3bm6YsXqkRkxcNvrQ_oUXQcT27VvCw7o6Vm8xDhQaAqY7EALw_wcB Loads of ceiling grid and tiles and lights on Facebook marketplace with some up near you. Some for free too.

A selection of the prizes to be won 🤪😁

A bit more advice if you get pulled over: > Do not say anything like “I didn’t know I was going that fast / what the speed limit was / I was just going with the flow of traffic” - EVER. That’s a gateway to a charge of driving without due care and attention, or even careless or dangerous driving, to which you just confessed. (Police often have body cams activated, so it’s admissible evidence.) > If the officer asks “Do you know why I pulled you over?”, the only answer that you should give is “I’m happy to cooperate, but I’d prefer it if you told me.” Saying “no” is again a possible gateway to an additional charge of driving without due care and attention, or even careless or dangerous driving. The reason not to say “yes” should be blindingly obvious. > When pulled over, no matter how aggrieved or not you might be, shut your car off, smile, be polite, and say nothing except “How may I help you?”. Hand the officer your license, take your lumps with a smile and be on your way. The hard shoulder is not the place to argue your case, even if you’re in the right - that’s for you to do in court. > Arguing with a copper at the side of the road is like sticking a huge neon sign on top of your head reading “INSPECT MY CAR FOR DEFECTS TO ADD TO MY TICKET”.
