LNA eh! I am sure I have spotted this one around Huddersfield - they are so rare you notice them. Leeds registration as well, so not travelled too far.
Only ever seen one LN recently, though - in Holland. Air cooled 602.

So has the venue changed to the Romper? Re the weather, we had a dollop of the white stuff here last night but today is sunny and dry, mind you the morons will probably start playing car conkers on the motorway at the first sign of adverse weather, I will be at the romper car park at 2PM.

Yep - think it did a while ago, Stewart! Weather should be OK, hopefully.
Tom - sorry you cannot make it - see you at the D-Rally!

And Grolliffe didn't want to go up there. Alternator failed on the way home last night and this morning, the starter wouldn't engage, despite there being enough in the battery.
The solenoid wire had detached itself and the alternator was busted. Strange! Spare alternator fitted and all was well.
Good cars seem to have a sixth sense. Put it down to superstition (Stuff us scientists havent worked out yet;) and assume that there was a good reason why I shouldn't have been there!

James - its only OK till you have driven it for half an hour! - Thanks for the number.
Like I said the engine is sweet as a nut its just slowly crumbling in other areas, that and the cost of 2 larger engined cars on one wage means its got to go. Your ZX does you proud.
Mike - Im off to look at an AX today, if its ok and we strike a deal i will try and remove the towbar before i get rid - either way will contact you and let you know.
18:10hrs-
Had a look @ said AX, nice and pretty, but had more keys to the locks than i felt comfortable with and should not sit there revving away at 1500 rpm at tickover even when warm.
Had a shuftie at door locks on ZX, drivers lock is toast, with something jamed inside, then snapped key in passenger lock!
Not been my day today.[:(]

You can get the lock barrel with the broken key out without removing the door card - if you take out the two grommets in the door shut, a couple of long self-tappers will screw into the holes in the clip - just pull on them, and the barrel will come out. You can then get the broken bit of key out.
