Cheers Mark ! The likelihood of anything other than the air freshener being modified (to extra strong - nothing to do with her driving ..) is nil as it'll be her indoors' car.

Something VERY cheap, reliable and fun (looks like a Westie), and a C30 diesel Volvo for sensible, older people. Am having the op to get the sticky out ears, and my flat cap is on order. Changing house name to "Dunmoddin"

I'm here, trying to sell my car.

Nearer to home there is Barretts Motorsport (Phil Venn) in Canterbury. Don't know if they are still running the motorsport division, but they rebuilt my Classic g box and were reputable engine builders in the early 2000's.

I'm going with a load of the Scoobycity mob.

Saw a Landcruiser wrapped in matt black and it looked great in the flesh. Didn't realise vinyl scratched easily !

Hi Guys Glad to see the meets are still happening. Re Andy Forrest engine builds - for info - I contacted him about doing my engine last year and he's only doing mapping now - unless thats changed in the last few months ! Is it just me or are those horn blasters complete twats. Wonder if they'd still be laughing so much if they gave some old person a heart attack from the shock. When I was into customised vans I had loud lorry horns on the 1 ton van, with the compressor tank etc. But except on motorways/dual carriageways I used the std "beep" horns. Hope you had a good meet. Saving up to come down to one

I asked Andy Walsh at Car Limits, to make up a bespoke course including basic slalom ( eg in and out of a line of cones, handbrake turn at the end and back again) and an intro to drifting - a chance to practice controlled longish slides. I know the Scoob is not ideal for drifting, but its an excuse to try some controlled lairy driving Its a full day course for 4 people, so I'm looking for 3 more Scooby drivers. I have some worn tyres to use on the back, as I think this may not be tyre friendly Having done one of his courses before, I can recommend the day. Its a concentrated learning experience. 1-1 tuition to get the technique "right" then practice on your own, but Andy is always there watching, and to ask questions, and to passenger with you to help you perfect the manoevre or to demonstrate again. Then onto the next "challenge" Andy said ‘As Scoobys don’t like tight stuff we can work on the hand brake stuff and the Scandinavian flick, trail braking to cause over steer, drift control and even the j turn could be covered along with the usual re-cap of the high speed bend that on a standard second day we usually work on sideways recovery anyway. I will talk to everyone on the morning of the course to assess the requirements of the group. Please mail me if interested. Then we can sort a date. His "4 person" days are normally £220 per person.

That makes SE England a HUGE area compared to E Midlands !! Suggestion if you only want very few areas: (maybe split the green area - amalgamating the N green area with Wales) http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/maps/england.gif&imgrefurl=http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/maps/ukindex.htm&h=437&w=360&sz=9&tbnid=v9UJeeuvRb4ZvM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=104&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dengland%2Bcounties%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=england+counties&usg=__QI1YB80yDI0IDap03TLSon99IsA=&sa=X&ei=99yzTYK0IYXA8QP_k4TRAQ&ved=0CDEQ9QEwBw

Hi Mark ! Hope you are all well ! Looking at the choices, I assumed SE England was Kent, leaving E Mids as the next choice. Norfolk could be in the Far East Mids. ?????????????
