We're up for both Saturday dubs in the valley as it's just up the road for us and Sunday at Shobdon as long as it's not chucking it down.
Never seen air racing live before  8)
Could perhaps meet up with a few on the way into Shobdon don't mind not going directly there all adds to the day out

Sorry I'm beginning to get a bit disillusioned with Howdens.
This year exactly the same quote for cover and legal as last year BUT just like last year the admin fee has jumped.
I queried whether our site discount had been applied and was told it was off of the premium,  last year had the same conversation but was told it comes off the admin fee which was then reduced.
After nearly 12 years with them I'm getting sick of being treated like an open wallet rather than a valued customer

A-plan never did this.

Will start shopping around again when I get home, not what I want to do so sort yourselves out please

Fuel gauge looks smart - dramatically red to get the heart pounding !

Wiring in this car is an absolute nightmare...
Total rats nest, botched together wires going in every which direction
Found wires that change color 3 times
Makes me wanna rip it all out and start from scratch

Oh yeah... the fact that I'm a total noob when it comes to wiring doesn't help either  ;D

That said, I managed to install a new fuel gauge and sender (generic tube type from Amazonia, €50 including the gauge)
Not sure about the accuracy, but it looks like it's working so far 8)

Weather permitting Dubs in the Valley is Saturday 19th and those with spare fuel in their tanks and no other commitments could meet me to ride into the show on the Sunday.

I've won enough prizes this year so Saturday is fine and dandy for me.

Last year some of us met nearby at the Esso, Franche road, Habberley DY11 5BL, just NW of Kidderminster. Lined up on Franche road (A442) and then drove the short distance NW along the A442 to Dubs (DY12 1SU). Unless it is forecast mostly rain I will be there to leave at 9.45am
