I was going down the hill (in the Mustang) as you were going up the hill

Yep, off to Brands - was a lovely day for it

YHM back!

HI Col That is a good question, I thought it was a Monsoon, but looking at the email I got when I placed the order, it's just labeled as "Stormforce". I'll see if I can adjust the thread title! Thanks Mike

Following a garage clearout (and change of car), I've got 2 sets (which will cover 4 tyres) of Weissenfels "WeissSock" TG85 "Snow Socks" These snow socks are brand new and unopened and will fit (according to the label) the following tyres: 195 R14 195/80 R14 225/70 R14 205/70 R15 235/60 R15 175/75 R16 215/60 R16 220/60 R16 235/55 R16 215/55 R17 235/50 R17 255/45 R17 235/45 R18 255/40 R18 225/40 R19 255/35 R19£50 ovno, can be collected from Paddock Wood, North Kent/East Sussex/Kentish Weald meet or from my office just behind the Guildhall in the City of London (EC2V 5HA) Mike

Having a garage clear out and I've got an "Stormforce" cover for an SV It's about 6 years old, has had 1 years use and then following the house move, has lived in it's storage bag in my garage for the last 5 years. It's got a few wear marks following a storm that we had, shortly after I got it, but IIRC it's still waterproof £30, can be collected from Paddock Wood, North Kent/East Sussex/Kentish Weald meet or from my office just behind the Guildhall in the City of London (EC2V 5HA) Mike Edited as Col pointed out an issue with the name

Having a garage clearout, and I have an "Ebony" (it's official colour), Tonneau Cover from a MK2 Ford Galaxy, that will also fit a MK1 S-Max (and cover the small gab between the 2nd row of seats that the normal S-Max Tonneau leaves) £30 and available for collection from Paddock Wood, or a North Kent/East Sussex/Kentish Weald meeting Mike

Thanks everyone! I have to say that the drive to the MOT station reminded me just hom much fun a 7 is Jonathan - yes all healed!

Back in April 2015, I had my 7 serviced & MOT'd by the jolly helpful folks at BOSS Racing, and I had full intention of doing some blatting. About 2 weeks later in May I fell over and subsequently discovered that I'd fractured both ankles. So no sevening for me as it it was just too painful to get in and out of for 6 months. I've just had the 7 MOT'd again. In 1 year, it's done the grand total of: 1 tank of Super Unleaded and 205 miles So I wonder to myself - do I get it serviced and have the oil changed, or shall I give it the once over myself with some spanners. I don't mind spending the money but an oil change seems like a bit of a waste after only 205 miles, I've checked the dipstick, the oil level is fine and is still a lovely golden colour. The collective Wisdom of BlatChat is appreciated. Mike

Spotted today @ 12:30. SWMBO and I weren't quite quick enough to get you before you moved off. You looked well wrapped up! Mike

I will be!

I'm measuring the same parallel line as you, 368mm sounds better. Thanks for the help Mike

Thanks Ian, Smoothrite was my 1st thought, can't make it any worse...... Jonathan, I'm happy with brightness as they have some Night Breakers (or similar) on board. I'm trying to spruce the 7 up a little : Nose cone mesh and 7 need doing, so do all 4 wheels (the powercoat is coming off) as well as the headlights and the Carbon "bling" is not as "bling" as it could be. Mike

Thank you The bad new is that the Standard roll bar on my 2007 SV, is 375 tall, so is actually shorter than the FIA one

The surface coating of my headlights is flaking away leaving a black headlight with dark grey patches and they are looking sorry for them selves. I'm rather hoping that they could perhaps be repainted or (as the SVC site suggests that they are power coated in Satin Black), re power coat them? I could also replace them, but CC are having a laugh if they think I'm paying £115 for one, when SVC can supply 2 with the correct harness for the same price. Or maybe someone has a pair of 5 3/4" head lights that have been removed from their 7, that are cluttering up the garage? Mike
