  1. It is yeah- you up for a dook in the fairy pools? There is a crowd of us jumping on now! Waiting on word from Supra UFO mate. He's been quiet on the thread so wondering if he managed to get booked up for sat night in a b&b.
  2. Cool cheers Tony, if I ring them I'll be starting by quoting your price I did hear they put the prices up a bit. I wonder if there is a back up plan if they are now expensive. Where did you get yours done instead Westy?
  3. Nice one, same year and spec as mine only less miles. Sounds clean. Congrats
  4. So that's the boat trip booked guys! Booked for 8 people in the afternoon about 2ish so will be done by about 4 at a guess. The trip is an hour and a half. I tried calling the other day and they were in the middle of what sounded like an emergency. I asked what happened in case it put me off booking with them. Turns out 2 Dutch girls had got out the car to get stuff from their boot without putting the hand brake on and it rolled back and rolled over into the water! Oops!! She was excited to hear of the club visiting and said they recently had a classic car club visit from Germany that they enjoyed. She also asked if it was ok to get a picture of the cars outside the place for their Facebook page https://m.facebook.com/pages/Bella-Jane-Boat-Trips/330471607552 Looks a good trip. Hopefully it will be fun.
  5. +1 for the arch rolling. Think tony recomended a place. Funky power or somewhere. I'll try and look it up. Although I think the prices have went up since he went in. Arch rolling meet?
  6. Having an overhaul of the braking system after I had a seized piston on a front calliper. So they are being refurbed just now and will be refitted along with goodrich braided brake lines. I also discovered an oil leak which I suspect is the front crank seal, which is being addressed. Hopefully after the car has a clean bill of health I can see if I can finish full bpu in time for the trip. How's everyone else's cars prepared for this?
  7. You need to pay the membership fee to access for sale/ wanted section mate. £10 for a years or £30 for lifetime. You should pm a red name moderator to help you out.
  8. Although I can't see the video on your post, having seen the video anyway it's got me excited about the potential shots now achievable with this. We will need to think ahead about a few spots where we will want to stop and set it up. I've got a couple that come to mind straight away, glencoe carpark perhaps with the overlooking mountain (giants causeway is it) and the start of the road to Applecross. I'm sure you'll be spoiled for choice!
  9. Good work, thanks for sharing the pics
  10. Did they take pics of the cars together then?
  11. I'm still amazed at how good these things are. I've only seen reviews and video but what you can do with them is so impressive. What's the laws that restrict you now then? Looking into houses and flying near buildings/ power lines etc?
  12. I so want you to get a go pro friendly drone. Think of the swooping shots you could get. Flying over the cars and away to focus on the mountains of glencoe. Or Ariel shot of supras taking a hairpin on Applecross
  13. Nice one, we should have at least 3 cameras then cause Gordy is bringing 2 go pros. If I can manage it I fancy getting one too.
  14. Phone the fire brigade. It might be different in England but I've put out bonfires where for example a gardener was burning branches in a residential area. We have a clean air act up here I think that means you're not allowed to have a bonfire unless it's supervised by a responsible person at bonfire night. The officer in charge might use his discretion and tell them to reduce the size of it but chances are they will put it out for you. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (England, Scotland and Wales) a statutory nuisance can be any dust or effluvia from any trade or business premises or smoke, fumes or gases emitted from premises so as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance. For a nuisance action to succeed the offence also has to be a cause of material harm or to be persistent or likely to recur. Nuisances may include smoke from bonfires, unpleasant odours, grit and dust. (In Northern Ireland statutory nuisances are currently regulated under the Public Health (Ireland) Act 1878, as amended, which includes powers for local authorities to serve abatement notices. The Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill introduced into the NI Assembly in June 2010 makes provision for similar controls to those applying in the rest of the UK.) In many cases a friendly approach to a neighbour or business can resolve the problem. If this fails, complaints should be made to your local environmental health department. If they are satisfied that a nuisance exists steps will be taken to abate the nuisance. This may involve serving a legal notice, which, if ignored, can result in proceedings in the Magistrates Court (Scotland – Sheriff Court). The Courts may impose an order to prevent the nuisance and a fine. Continued non-compliance can lead to further fines. The local authority also has power to abate the nuisance itself and recover costs.
  15. Tony TT said he once got bad fuel from a BP garage and the car didn't like it at all. He had the tank drained and I think fitted a new fuel filter and all was well. Was it shortly after you filled up it originally started?
  16. I'd love to see the size of the tent you think you'll be staying in
