  1. How dare you ! I talk properly I’ll have you know!! 😉
  2. Actually I agree with Jim, I quite liked gartcosh…. No real negative as far as I could see.
  3. As always a great run helped by the fact the car had been prepared beforehand. I’ll not take the credit for that as James Cooper did the major work. All I did was finish a few bits off that I felt were essential ( brakes ,steering 🤣). As always the organisation was spot on, the road book had all the information we needed. Funnily enough it’s easier to get lost using a sat nav…. Don’t ask how we know but Glasgow is an interesting place 🤷🏼‍♂️ I don’t think there was a bad control this time. We were very early for falls of shin and did get a bit bored waiting but was ok. Seaview was first class as always…. We were in and fed and out in probably 25 mins making way for the next groups. This year it was important to rotate quickly due to reduced seating due to covid. Sparkford was great, I waist we’d have been there longer and got to have a poke about… I want to go back. Bad points to the weekend … none really, fuel was overinflated price wise, the weather was a bit rubbish through glencoe. We predicted lands end to be bad so went for mc Donald’s … service appeared better though when we did arrive however there was a fair amount of food being pushed around plates. Personally I find it hard to be down on such a great event. Helped by the fact those that run it take part. Are we doing car of the run? If so I’d nominate Sean Bradley’s standard 10. What a great little car…made me smile to see it every time! It’s lovely!!
  4. Life has a habit of getting in the way of my plans but .... I need to get an mot on the spitfire. I know I need to readjust the handbrake since putting the driveshafts back on. I also need to give it a once over and get it booked in.... trouble is I also need some decent weather as there’s no room in the garage to do it. This is a constant problem since we moved. It’s also the reason the herald is still in storage awaiting further work.
  5. Have to say I love this club!.... ok so there’s the odd idiot I guess but on the whole what a fantastic bunch, many I’m lucky enough to call friends. 
  6. So as we just finished 2018...... as is normal we look forward to 2020! My hope is I have the herald built and get to use it.......
  7. Moss at feltham is really simple to get to and only 10 mins from the M3...... if you hit the end of the m3 m25 junction at 8am you’ll be outside around opening time. 
  8. But what constitutes a bad oil leak.... we drive triumphs!
  9. I may be wrong actually maybe mine an 063.... i‘ll try and look later.  Alex
  10. I have a Yuasa 038 in my blue spitfire and a Yuasa 067 heavy duty in my white car......the price wasn’t much difference to be honest.
