Ahhh, "banter", not sure that particular bucket holds much water these days (esp with no context).

Are you also going to CCC Chevron Rally on Sat 12th - or Sun 13th Sept as well ?

If I remember rightly it was £18 per day (non-CCC member) last time I went but I’m struggling to find prices for this year?

If I go this year it will be without a car but I’m guessing it will be a similar price as a pedestrian :roll:

Edit looks like £10 a car per day so I might just thumb a lift around the corner :rofl2:

I'll only be there for a short time on the Saturday afternoon Gary as on Sunday I'll be at a running event and hopefully, getting muddy! It's a trail run - my favourite sort :cool:

It'll be great to see you at Chevrons if you can make Saturday :-D

It is, especially when she's clean :-D I believe it's a rare colour on an AX...

Bluebell's intermittent electrical fault finally allowed me to determine its cause...

I found a light tap on the top of the dash, in the vicinity of the fusebox, fixed it... I then localised it to F3. Fuse out, cleaned up and back in.

Things are a lot less intermittent now and if it does happen again I know which fuse to tweak.

Longer-term I'll need to pop the fusebox out and check it over properly.

All just in time for the car show today :)

Photos of the event ? Great news regarding the quick fix
Husky. :? Thinking outside of the box is better than sitting in a dark one.
