A quick stop at Stowe.

Look at the car! Look at the car! 😁 As we were invited to a cowboy themed 40th birthday for our friend, it seemed a shame not to have a photograph of her with the car. Yes there is a car in the photo if you can possibly move your eyes to the right a bit 😁

New seats arrived yesterday. Karl from KAD Fibreglass Products delivered them in person too. Nice touch. Looking forward to fitting them - as always, some fettling will be required to get the runners bolted to the chassis crossmembers.

Last run out before leaving again for work

Think I'm already down for volunteering. I'll be there all weekend.

Pap shots from the Haynes Breakfast meet 😊. Photographic evidence that a chubby bloke really can fit in a narrow Westie….. just 🤣

Hi All, Is there any of you that are thinking of doing Malvern this year in the fantastic sunshine. If you are we do have a need for some volunteers here and there to assist with this magnificent event. You won't be chucked in the deep end and it will be a great laugh plus may be a free t shirt. If you are interested please fill your details in and we will get back to you. Also if you are an AO can you please plug this in your chat groups and area meets. Cheers Bellboy

I'm sure I volunteered, but I'm not on the list. So I'm re-volenteering.

Yep, we're coming along too

Plotting a route for tomorrow; The Motorist to Wheels, 40 minutes, 25 miles. Wheels to The Carding Shed, 1 hour 10mins, 40 miles. Leaving the Motorist at 11am. All times and milage are approximate.

Yeah it had a new chassis so was effectively started again. The engine alone is probably £8K looking at the SBD website

I'll see you there. @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman & @Stu Faulkner should be along too.

Hi, yes planning on a drive down 👍

Looks like @Glynn Walters is joining me for the drive up👍🏻

Thanks yeah I will definitely let you know how I get on. I think having the email from DVSA along with all my other evidence surely they can’t refuse! 👍

That wouldn't work, with panel gaps like theirs they'd all sink! 😂

First run out in months - new ecu fitted and aeroscreen sorted. Shakedown before mapping a week on monday

Is anyone going over to spectate at this? We are going and wondered who else is planning to go? Weather looks good so far.

Hi all, Just to double check all who have volunteered via Mailchimp we have the below list of forum names, if you have volunteered please check you are on the list 😁

At least they didn't steal the catalytic converter...

That makes two of us🤣🤣 I’m guessing the photographer had gone by the time we left after a wander around the museum.

@Steve Bosworth if your coming tomoz I’ll bring you L&D tour goodies 👍

If that’s your best memory, what’s your worst?

Great news & good luck, please let us know how you get on, as this is a regular occurrence as MOT failure is so frustrating 🤞👍

Might be up for this

Well I’ve managed to get an engineers report from a Vauxhall specialist that dates the engine at 1990 so no cat needed. I’ve also just had a reply back from DVSA who have confirmed this would be enough proof of the age of the engine! So I’m gonna take this to the test station soon… I will update on progress! Hopefully with an MOT pass!

That is mad! Another option is put on some weight so you are nicely ‘tight’ in the seat. Acceptable with age.

Seems like a good place to put this! Good luck with your search
