For those attending Prep day this weekend a heads up that it is the GP at Silverstone. We are far enough away not to be directly effected but remember to plan your route to us avoiding Silverstone and the A43 between Brackley and Towcester.

Grandstand view of the Silverstone air displays from the FoD, then! We had the Lancaster a couple of weekends ago.

Mr Cylinder, would  you be interested in a standard steering wheel for your MX-5? I can offer an original MX-5 Momo leather wheel in all  black, or a wood rimmed Momo that I refinished as it was painted when I bought it. Both are dated 1991. Horn push included! Both are surplus to requirements, and I can bring to FOTU. 

If the wood rimmed one is still going spare PM me please Ghosty ?

What time is the field open? I need to do my weekly shop first, but can buy nibbles for all. Ac not fixed today. His van wouldn’t start ( Mercedes sprinter). What does the weather forecast look like? I’m undecided on car transport.

Probably mid-morning, but PM Six-cylinder for exact timings. Weather will be dry, with sun and a bit of cloud, high of 21C on Saturday and around 20C on Sunday. Not too hot, but pleasant.

I will be on site from 10am. 

[richardmorris]

Ok, I’ll aim for 10.30ish. That way there may be coffee ready

Sounds like Sesame Street. One of these is not like the other ones,

 

 

so thAts the tool boxes, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, soldering iron, crimp set and multimeter I need to bring. As well as the flapjacks and beko’s pink Henry.

[Six-cylinder]

The two red one are guilty of slacking!

Trouble At T'Mill

The Metro has been running very well but pinks quite a lot so yesterday I thought I would retard the ignition a tad, after that it would not start but smelt strongly of petrol so I left it overnight. Today it still would not start so further investigation was required, there is no stark at the plugs but their is a stark from the king lead. The contacts inside the distributor cap were fury so I cleaned them up and the rotor arm, but still no spark from the plugs. I have ordered a new cap and rotor arm.

This is all because I said it would be fine for the Festival of the Unexceptional next weekend!

Family_beko (sans mum and stepdad) are about to leave, with a quick tenner lobbed in at Whitchurch or somewhere because I'm a bit low
