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

Why, what has it done wrong?

[Six-cylinder]

Only one out of these three work!

[richardmorris]

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
