........no need for the snakes;  after about three weeks mother nature takes over. They did it in the old days usinmg metal baskets hanging high and dry. Roger

Sounds like he needs hanging by one ankle over a pit of snakes…..   (Feeling especially misanthropic today) 

Cheerful and optimistic soul! 😉 What will be will be. 

My window-box tomatoes were a failure this year, one solitary ripe fruit. Had piles of raspberries earlier in the summer until our communal garden was ripped up by the merciless landlord

I once looked at the homologation  route, and it costs!

And who knows I may have to dispense with the VSCC and just join the likes of Midland Automobile Club (MAC) who own Shelsley and run in a classics class for over 3litres or similar.  let’s see what the VSCC want and how much it’ll cost.  Getting a VSCC “buff form” the eligibility compliance proof wouldn’t do the car any harm reputationally wise even if slightly less road friendly. 

DST outlet line looking much better . The Motolita turned up today . Very nice .

This is why I race with CSCC.    Their  regs are all about the look (silhouette), original makers engine (no Cosworths) and original type of suspension, no slicks.    So I can run a Vitesse with 2.6L and Lucas Pi, with transmission mods.  But each to their own. John

Aesthetics it’s all about the look   lets hope “they” don’t read this forum. 

Understand performance mods being frowned upon, but safety and reliability mods….
