Just been round to my sons new house, he has a balcony.

Evening, had a successful day doing chores!! Right of way mowed and cleared and car taken for a test drive 👍 so see you on the morning Andy & Becky

That was probably the best turnout to a GBS coffee morning. The weather was perfect and there was a good selection of cars to take a look at. Westfields were in attendance in good numbers. Photos stolen from @Jakejmagee so thanks to him. There is also a great video on the GBS facebook page.

Passed its first MOT under my ownership this morning. Not a single advisory either. So pleased!

Absolute beautiful and fabulous day today at the GBS cars and coffee first meet of the year. Plenty of sun, cars people and best of all cake.

Hi Julie, Where is you’re lunch / cake stop going to be , I don’t think we can be at the GBCJ for breakfast but wouldn’t mind lunch /cake !! Hope that’s ok Jim &Julie

I guess I undersold them! I'm fully onboard with this hobby being financial nonsense so it's ok 😄

And i thought i had put my rear number plate on wonky must be the tub after all lol

The solution to this is to be always on the move 🏎️

Bu**er, I’m going to notice this every time I get in and out of my car too! 🤬🤣

Ready for summer after a few jobs over winter, new wide track kit, new engine and gearbox mounts, new timing and aux belts, oil and filter change, new windscreen, new tyres, various new fasteners and a new plate is the cherry on top👌 I have also just ordered a new soft bits half hood today, can’t wait for the better weather, hopefully……

I had a run over to Oulton Park today, as there was a MSV run trackday on. Firstly to get my car sound checked and secondly to observe what the standard of driving looked like. Happy to say my car is relatively quiet at 96.5db for the static test, and the standard of driving looked good. Some nice looking Westys, on track and quite a few Caterham. Green car below was very well preped with lots of carbon 🤩 Duratec Engined Car, also looked nice.

For anyone that fancies this from east of Cotswolds there's a couple of us heading over from Stratford/Banbury way let us know if you want to meet on the way. Looking for to this 👍

I was wondering why the vultures had gathered to circle over this thread… One lucky vulture swooped and grabbed a bargain. /goes back to circling…

Chrome roll bar, reasonable condition albeit some areas of the chrome are lifting. £65 plus postage or collection from Bath.

Have a great day @CRAIGR 🎂🍺

Mine is a 12”x3” from Showplates.com who appear to have stopped trading. A quick Google search for “Show Plates” and I and sure you will find an alternative supplier.

New Spax front shocks to replace my 30+ year old original Spax front shocks - look at the shiny shiny!

It's normal very warm in our SLK @aeg so not many layers required for us.😂We will hopefully see you there 😁

Had a nice drive out this afternoon to Elstree Aerodrome for a cuppa and some cake. It took an extra 10 minutes to exit the carpark with people coming up to have a chat 🙂.

Told you so? 😝

Oh, and chatting to @Maurici- CleaR Motorsport just before Christmas, about a handling issue that had been niggling me for a bit - ever since I had those horrid ditch finder tyres on, in fact. (The Uniroyals though much better, still lacked the superb turn-in and "bite" the car used to have. After chatting about my set up - which will need a refresh as well, Maurici suggested refitting the front ARB, (Playskool item, so softer than WSC Ltd's), set to full soft. I knew the rose joints were a little worn before I removed the bar previously, so got a fresh set from McGill and re-instated the arb. First trip out was a couple of weeks ago, but the roads were a bit damp and cold to get any sort of decent feedback. Today however, was a lot better in the Peaks. Though a bit damp in places, in the morning still, and cold. The car still felt noticeably more pointy and re-assuring though. The trip back over the hills and moors was great fun though, with the car back to feeling way more like it should, quick and sharp turn in, feeling like it just wants to bite and grip! Many thanks Maurici!

Fun times in the sunshine today

Filling up on the way home on Thursday night. A tad chilly and very slick conditions but great to be out. First run this year.

That's funny - I sometimes have people that are fans of the show ask if that's really what Montana is like. The views are like in the show most of the time...in fact some of those very same views are what I see when I ride my bike on the back roads around here. The weather is clear most of the time. It really is sunny much of the time and if it's not it's snowing. But one gets the impression from the show that you need to murder people all the time and that's just not true. I've hardly ever killed anyone and then thrown their body in a ditch by the side of the road! dave
