Absolutely Ridiculously priced. Perfectly suitable tyres are available by the set for the price of one of those. Talk about milking the brand

It will be down to the examiner. I just shared the link.

Find a friendly MOT inspector if you fit LED or HID headlamps. The following is from the MOT inspection manual regulations from 1st February. "Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a convers...

If the wire is not connected the gauge defaults to full.

They are setting the tickets allocation at 2 per car.

From the phpBB User Guide: Attachments  Attachments allow users to upload files and attach them to their post. The ability to attach and download attachments is determined by the "Can attach files" and "Can download files" permissions respectively. To add an attachment, find the ATTACHMENTS section...

I was sure that there used to be a facility for attachments (pdf file or what ever) and indeed if you go to your User Control Panel there is an option to "Manage Attachments".

I don't know whether they have a reserve list.

Announcement today (below) from MSV shutting down race meetings initially until then end of April.

Clarion Events have said that the existing traders/clubs/features will be automatically included, so unless they have anyone drop out of the rearranged event, or they expand it, there will not be any opportunities.

My 1991 Celebration was 2.5 years old when I got it. Like all Excels the factory hadn't fitted immobiliser or alarm. I had an immobiliser installed. Unfortunately this was pre Thatcham classification so I had a replacement installed later with Thatcham certification to satisfy my insurers at the tim...
