Retired. After 46 years of building buses I've retired. There're going to have to manage without me now. I was the longest serving employee at Optare (39 years) with 5 at Charles H Roe. I officially finish on the 31st and have to go back on the 20th for the embarrassing photos, I'll post them when it happens.

Anyone looking for mapping or carburettor setup give AP RACING ENGINES a try. They mapped my omex ECU running omex ITB’s. The car now drives better than I ever expected. Link below of the last run. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AMQWhr1xJ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

A slightly eclectic mix here…. Have just ordered two new six point harnesses for my car so will have these going spare in a week or so. TRS four point harness TRS six point harness Both have the metal clip attachments on all belts so need eye bolts to connect to the chassis. The six point has pull up lap belt adjusters so can be a little awkward to adjust if the adjusters are below the seat slot. I normally leave these as they are and just tighten the shoulder belts which works fine. Can post better pics of the four point on Friday, so have included some shots being modelled by my daughter and me 🤣. £20 for the four point and £30 for the six, plus postage. Thanks, Stu

Congratulations Robin from both Glen and I. Glen says welcome to retirement, more time to polish the car 😁

That's a nice healthy number for a standard 2.0 Zetec, glad you got sorted! 👍

OK. Thanks

Could I be added to reserve list, thanks

As a recently retired person, I welcome you to our ranks. Enjoy the freedom to go out in the Westfield on any sunny day!

Enjoy Robin lad.

Congratulations Robin and well deserved. Hope you have a long and enjoyable retirement and get to do anything you've been putting off. I find the best part is not having to ask anyone for a day off or book holidays, cause every day is a holiday. 😆

Congrats! As a member of the retired community, I strongly suggest you keep that info to yourself and don’t tell family and friends. I told everyone, and now I’m working just as hard for no money because everyone knows I’m retired but wrongly think that not only do I have spare time (I don’t - because I’m constantly helping people), they also think I’m interested in helping them and that is definitely not always the case. So yes to retirement, no to telling people you’ve retired. Good luck!

Hi mate it did 173.9 it would have done more but the injectors were getting maxed out. No point risking it going lean. bigger injectors for next time I think

Agreed. Andrew did the head work on my car, which I’ve been really pleased with. @Tim-s what power did you make?!

Pleased you took my advice!! He worked wonders on my car. Bit of a magician.

Some 5mm spacers for me. My 13” rims were just catching on the suspension arm so these give it a bit of space without pushing the tyre out too far.
