Out to play at our monthly meet tonight. Eight of us there which is a great turnout. I recently discovered a Caterham owner living very near me, and he came down with me in his car. Had a great run back over the Blackdown hills, very dark, but dry, no fog and no traffic so was good fun.

Another quick job that I’ve been meaning to get round to for longer trips and euro blats, was using the empty underhood space to fit a tool roll including a jack and wheel brace. Just popped some M5 rivnuts in and used a couple of cycling toe straps, held down with stress relieving plates to hold this natty canvas bag from Amazon. Easily removed if out locally, but I’ll probably just leave it in there.

I’ve been swinging around most of this evening. Now ready to remove the engine. Rear main seal I’m coming to get you! Single garage fun!

A dry day at last and a touch of sun, so my first proper run out this year...in fact my first run out 'full stop' not having had the opportunity since I bought it late last year...whoop whoop Even though it was just for a fresh tank of 'five star'

Finally had a great run out today.. Didn't even need gloves on.. Cars a bit crusty tho...

I think lively might be a a good description, particularly since my daily driver is a diseasel Ford Kuga and my last 'weekend toy'was a Land Rover Other than the brief test drive when you don't really get a proper impression, 60mph really does feel like something closer to 80mph, the sound is phenomenal and the ride is surprisingly forgiving.. I was expecting something more like an old school mini, I think its been set up more for comfort...which suits me fine, I was always aiming for more road rather than track use. Roll on summer

Bookings are now open for this year's L2B kit car run. Once again its on the same Sunday as Malvern but from where we live its its quite convenient to take in Malvern on the Saturday then travel to Brooklands later in the day ready for Sunday. I've just made our booking and requested a departure time from Brooklands of 0900-0930. This will be our 5th consecutive L2B so we obviously enjoy it! @SteveB21 and @Morris have also joined us on recent runs so if anyone wants any more info on the event I'm sure we'll all be happy to respond.

Thanks for the reply. I have just done the membership, so i'll have another go at uploading some photos. I'm in Guernsey in the Channel Islands, so quite isolated, it can make getting thing delivered quite the challenge.!

Welcome to Wscc

As we had a decent weekend weather wise finally managed to get out and fit some larger ignition leads from Burton along with some better matched spark plugs for the webers and finally managed to replace the old k&n filters with this one. Next on the list of to find a place to fit an oil catch can to the pipe that is just hanging down at the moment haha

Welcome

@snakey22 welcome to the fold. I think you have to be a full member to upload photos though

Couple of simple jobs today, swapped the oh so time consuming to adjust belts to some nice Sabelt ones purchased second hand from a forum member… And swapped the ‘fried egg’ indicator bulbs for some silvered ones…

First little run out this year due to all the rain. MOT booked in a couple of weeks, so nice to make sure it all ran fine before then. Lovely R5GTT filling up at the same time too. Feels like spring is finally on the way with today's nice weather.

Hi Nice to hear that you have good experience with Christoph. I called him and he answered. We had a nice chat. Problem solved I think Delivery in a few weeks. Best regards Nils Jakob
