Hello folks, Time for the East Anglia Christmas Dinner to move a little west this year. After much deliberation I've chosen O'Sarrachino, 5, Sun Street, Potton in east Bedfordshire, SG19 2LR. https://osarracino.co.uk/. Suggest we arrive at midday. Numbers appreciated by the end of November. Looking forward to seeing some new faces, along with the usual crowd too. Many thanks, Andrew

Raced Silverstone last weekend, which was a first for me! Unfortunately I had issues (car would not always go into 3rd gear when changing down from 4th) which compromised my pace, but I made it thought both races finishing 14th and then 12th. One of the few passes I managed into Brooklands: https://youtu.be/XGn9NIr6C3wIn addition to getting the gear box sorted over the winter, I really need to get to grips with the handling of the car. Power and braking are fine, but it understeers terribly and can be squirrelly on the brakes, so need to really focus on that to increase my pace.

After more than 50 years of driving, I've received my first notification of speeding.
I have evidently missed a reduction in limit on a dual carriageway from 40mph to 30mph.
Obviously my fault, but I was totally unaware.
Wake up old men, don't take things for granted.
If offered, I'm likely to take the awareness course.
Any advice ?
I wasn't in my car, I was driving Val's. Just a heads up tp make you aware that if you do get offered a speed awareness course then my understanding is you do not necessarily have to take the course in your local area. There are a variety of online providers around the country which charge differing amounts (around £79-100) and all are valid to discharge your obligation to complete the course

Hi folks
I was a forum member for many years previously however my registration lapsed and when I tried to get back on my old persona had been consigned to the ether. So I have re-registered and am back.
I have a W Reg Pearl White 20V Plus which I have owned for 20 years this year. Planning to put up for sale in the near future when the forum allows.

Sorry, been so busy I haven't been able to log on for a while. These are the wheels - 16in and still with the tyres fitted (although with about 8mm of tread they are now about 12 years old!) -  And of course they are located in SW France!

I seem to remember removing the laquer many years ago, but can't remember the process I used now! Anyway, all it takles is the occasional polish up with some Autosol to keep it looking nice and shiny.
I did keep a spare cap in case it was needed - still sitting on the shelf after 15 years.

Red T plate on the M4 and up the A449 towards Monmouth today.
I was in my Alfa, but was amazed when I saw it in the rear view mirror. So rare....

Took the chance on a whim Sunday to grab a last slice of 23' sunshine and warm temps.
Checked tyre pressures. Oil level and quick under hood. Max 4 mins.
Took the car for a nowhere in particular 2 hour round trip. Stopped for black coffee, and cake-and a gelato at a local well known grill and bar. And just tried to soak up the five pot burble, and the ocassional nods from those in the know.
Just trying to get the last of the good weather inspirational trips done before the rain falls and the fields flood the local roads with mud-that signals end of play until March time next year usually.
Car felt epic. Easy to forget how fun the coops are on the open road.
Enjoy all!

Not a clue about the sill ends - I'm sure if Joe spots something he will let me know, page 3 of the work was added last week once he'd started taking everything apart!
I'll ask him about the polybushes and see what he thinks Sill ends under the skirts are solid, as are the floor pans mainly becasue of the litres of power steering fluid that have coated it over the years because of the leaking seals on the ram, oil leaks etc are acutally a good thing sometimes, lol silver linings and all that

Have you ever checked over the insurance companies' "Statement of Facts"?
Most of the time in my experience they do make it up.

Grandson Ollie could enter and exit the car through the ski hatch, but I'm still forcing him up chimneys.
