After building 2 models of my Westfield, the first a conversion of Tamiyas Lotus 7 and a hot wheels Caterham, I have now started a Scalextric Caterham. Bought at the Silverstone Classic for a tenner I've got nothing to lose. First job is to strip it into it's component parts, then sand the louvres from the bonnet and cut the 3 style lines in. The rear wheel arches next with a piece of plastic card added to form the correct shape.

Keep notes...your next commission will be for half a dozen for Stoneleigh.

Given the amount of rain we saw this weekend, I was surprised not to see @Nic (NICO) - Shropshire and Mid-Wales AO in my mirrors

I think during times of drought, water companies should pay us to meet up in certain areas

I remembered that I had not stripped the interior trim off from the tailgate, so did that tonight which gained me another 1.6kg. Running total now 44.85kg

Hi All Meal and mini bus arranged as usual for the Saturday Night! Once you have your entry confirmed in a couple of weeks time please let me know that you are in for the meal! Thanks Graham

Hi no there is no et number but the back space is 140mm. I ran them on my se with a live axle but I did need spacers witch I still have and can go with the wheels. I have pictures of them on my car if that’s any good.

Nothing to worry you. Tiffany wasn’t there !!

@Nic (NICO) - Shropshire and Mid-Wales AO Could top that reservoir up nicely on his own

dunno what you lot were complaining about ... the wet was no issue

Thanks for a great weekend guys, even if we did get a bit wet at times. The Welsh roads were spectacular as usual and we got some new views as trees had been felled in certain areas. Just been out cleaning the car, carpets are still wet but the rest is drying out nicely. Just need a shovel and wheel barrow for all the stones and grit!!!! Also just spent 20 minutes deleting 96 photos taken on my phone whilst out of the dining room in the loo. Pretty obvious who is the guilty one! All the shots are from the same place which just happened to be where Bollocky Bill was sat, what a surprise! ( note to ones self - don't leave phone anywhere near JD )

That’s okay. Boris forgot he was American until they chased him for decades of back taxes.

Welcome - looks like a nice car. Whats the spec?

Welcome Terry - car looks nice - very similar to my own SEight. nice number plate too!

Terry,car looks very tidy.

New larger disc, uprated caliper carrier and new brake line fitted to passenger side. I am waiting for pads to arrive so can't do much more. On the drivers side I need to change the inner CV joint and boot, that's next

I had a spare hour at lunchtime today and the rain had stopped. So rather than start the brakes upgrade and get soaked doing it, I decided to take some more weight out. I removed rear seats, boot carpet, boot edge trim, parcel shelf, rear speakers, rear seat belts and brackets, seat brackets, rear pillar trims. That lot totted up to 33kg. Running total is now 43.25kg

Hi there and welcome from Scotland...
