Not sure if we are talking about safety?

Not safety - this is someone who managed to get a British army land rover stuck in a rainforest in Belize! Told them her 2cv would have got through!

at the moment she would probably shop Anne franc to the Germans for possible infringements. Honestly it’s easier if we just do what she wants.

It's an outdoor gathering of less than 30 people!

I don't think that would be wise. If she's married, please pass my condolences to her husband.

I even have a certificate that says any car owned by or in the custody or control of, but even then.......

Can you add me to your insurance please, I'll try not to break too many of them??

[Ghosty]

I'm afraid I most likely won't make the weekend, but I'll do my best to. 

Between the cat theft on the Civic and getting a call after two months that a breaker 205 has finally become available, I might be overstretched this weekend. 

Don't rule me out though, you never know.

Ok this one works.

Moral of the story is don't let the guys start engines until the flywheel bolts are released for extra excitement!

Now the rain is over for bucks (although it'd a hurricane here in thame atm) how much of a quagmire is the field? Should I lob my wellies in the car? 

I'd best start packing the car too...

Bring Henry Hoover attachments please! I can't find ours, but I would like to finish vacuum cleaning around Dolly's engine bay and especially the ventilation hoses

+1, wish I could come, standing around in fields mumbling at each other is a fundamental cornerstone of British culture ;-)!

Filled up some boxes of stuff.  Bringing some boxes of normal wiper blades!  A rarity to find according to @dollywobbler

oh yes this reminds me, do you think any of those will fit a Model 70?

she needs a new wiper blade quite badly!, but im not quite sure what type she has/needs/will fit, perhaps @dollywobbler and @Zelandeth who have fitted wiper blades to theirs could share what type i need to look out for, I imagine its just a standard type probably shared with a mini or something

(I mean in future ill probably just ask zel where he got that period looking one on TPA, but for now ill just get any style/type just as long as it fits/works

No Aerotwins / flat flexi-blade wipers? I was thinking of trying one on the CX.....

[kirton]

Big single blade, I think. At least 24", possibly up to 26" - could use 6cyl's CX windscreen as a rough guide.

[beko1987]

It's going to be an expensive day tomorrow I think... Got @mitsisigma01 with a boot full of shit hoovers, @Andyrewwith a boot full of handy shite...

Got the perfect thing for that! 

Can you bring your Henry though? Mines back up in the loft now... 

Although saying that I'll have enough working vacuums on me that we can sort something out!
