Meant to say anybody with a large head and one size bowler hat I ran mine around under the hot tap upside down as if trying to fill the head hole ( must be a techy name?) then put it on to stretch it a bit then let it dry on the shelf I did this 3 times and it now fits rather than balancing on top.

We are the ones with normal heads Snoopy
The rest use their ears to hold the hat up

After last nights satnav programming escapades and aid from purple rob some satnavs use degrees, minutes and seconds some use decimal degrees so I have put both for Hook, the stops, IBW and the windmills in the post above Andrews.

Please Hold My Girlfriends Hand    

In all seriousness, most of you at Stoneleigh recently were aware of Lisa`s little predicament of double vision, general dizziness and total loss of balance, (which was the root cause of her two broken arms last year). Whilst we are awaiting an imminent date for brain surgery, we are determined that it is not going to stop us getting out and about, and Stoneleigh was a great test for IBW and proved that she can cope with the Buggy, camping and most of you lot. Her bouncing vision means she is very unsteady on her feet especially when walking about. If she gets a dizzy spell, (which is very frequently), she can regain her composure in a matter of seconds just by grabbing hold of something and standing still.

I`m of course keeping a very close eye on her at all times, but if you do see her struggling - Please just grab hold of her hand

Thanks   


I can`t promise however, where her hands have been and they are usually sticky - wet wipes will be available 

I am thinking I may need a decent stick/post to help me stand up in the morning as I have to use the bedroom door some mornings, if I take one she can have that during the day I just may need it for the mornings as the tents do not have decent poles to grab these days.

Of course we will look out for her that goes without saying the same goes for any one on the trip

 

Appreciate the thought Snoopy, but a stick is something else for her to concentrate on, and as a result, very ineffective. She can still move about relatively well unaided, its just that every now and then she needs a hand to hold

But then don`t we all   

We have plenty of budding engineers on here, how about a set of stabilisers?
Was good to see her at Stoneleigh, of course we will look out for her

Take a black umbrella as it will go well with the bowler and suit tee shirt 

I have higher priorities, need to get the thing running again first.
Not going to give up yet and have appealed to my local club for help this weekend as at the moment cant get it to run so I can dive from holding the accelerator pedal to the back to even check the timing.

Been meaning to fit a remote starter switch at the back along with a small tacho, really wish I had now

Dave,

I know you have been focusing on the Dizzy of late -

I have a spare 009 with electronics inside and a spare coil if it would aid diagnosis, and can send down if needed ?   

Thanks Dave, took dizzy off old engine and hunting for coil in garage. Will get time to have another bash on Thurs/Fri
Cheers mate

Apologies if this is teaching Grandmother to suck eggs, but a neighbour of mine was intrigued to see me do this and hadn`t realised how much he could have saved from buying those rip off continental beam deflectors from the likes of Halfords - so I thought I would mention it.

The picture on the left shows a headlight that has the various shapes of patterns on the front of the lens, and I have highlighted the shape and area that we are interested in - this is the bit that blinds the foriegners, and much as it pains me to do this, we have to comply with their law. For those with crystal headlights or clear lenses, the shape and position is the same, you will just have to use your imagination.





A few bits of black insulation tape cut to shape, and jobs a good un.   

Halfords £7.99 and my price, about eight inches of insulation tape   

Dave

Is illegal to drive in the UK with these on?
